Introduction

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a Windows 10 feature that enables users to run native Linux command-line tools directly on Windows. WSL is a containerized environment within which users can run Linux native applications from the command line of the Windows 10 shell without requiring the complexity of a dual boot environment. Internally, WSL is tightly integrated with the Microsoft Windows operating system, which allows it to run Linux applications alongside traditional Windows desktop and modern store apps.

Figure 1. CUDA on WSL Overview
 

 

 

With WSL 2 and GPU paravirtualization technology, Microsoft enables developers to run GPU accelerated applications on Windows.

The following document describes a workflow for getting started with running CUDA applications or containers in a WSL 2 environment.

Getting Started

Getting started with running CUDA on WSL requires you to complete these steps in order:

1. Installing the latest builds from the Microsoft Windows Insider Program
2. Installing the NVIDIA preview driver for WSL 2
3. Installing WSL 2

Installing Microsoft Windows Insider Program Builds

Install the latest builds from the Microsoft Windows Insider Program

• Register for the Microsoft Windows Insider Program.

• Install the latest build from the Fast ring.

  Note:

  Ensure that you install Build version 20145 or higher.

  You can check your build version number by running winver via the Windows Run command.

Installing NVIDIA Drivers

• Download the NVIDIA Driver from the download section on the CUDA on WSL page. Choose the appropriate driver depending on the type of NVIDIA GPU in your system - GeForce and Quadro.

• Install the driver using the executable. This is the only driver you need to install.

  Note:

  Do not install any Linux display driver in WSL. The Windows Display Driver will install both the regular driver components for native Windows and for WSL support.

Installing WSL 2

This section includes details about installing WSL 2, including setting up a Linux distribution of your choice from the Microsoft Store.

1. Install WSL 2 by following the instructions in the Microsoft documentation available here.
2. Ensure you have the latest kernel by hitting “Check for updates” in the “Windows Update” section of the Settings app. If the right update with the kernel 4.19.121+ is installed, you should be able to see it in the Windows Update history. Alternatively, you can check the version number by running the following command in PowerShell:

   wsl cat /proc/version
                       

    

   

   
    
3. If you don’t see this update, then in the Windows Update Advanced options, make sure to enable recommended Microsoft updates and run the check again:
    

    

   
    
4. If you don’t have the last WSL kernel updated, you will see the following blocking warning upon trying to launch a Linux distribution within WSL 2.
    

   

   
    
5. Launch the Linux distribution and make sure it runs in WSL 2 mode using the following command:

   wsl.exe --list -v command
                       

Setting up CUDA Toolkit

It is recommended to use the Linux package manager to install the CUDA for the Linux distributions supported under WSL 2. Follow these instructions to install the CUDA Toolkit.

First, set up the CUDA network repository. The instructions shown here are for Ubuntu 18.04. See the CUDA Linux Installation Guide for more information on other distributions.

$ apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub

$ sh -c 'echo "deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64 /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda.list'

$ apt-get update
        

Now install CUDA. Note that for WSL 2, you should use the cuda-toolkit- meta-package to avoid installing the NVIDIA driver that is typically bundled with the toolkit. You can also install other components of the toolkit by choosing the right meta-package.

Do not choose the cuda, cuda-11-0, or cuda-drivers meta-packages under WSL 2 since these packages will result in an attempt to install the Linux NVIDIA driver under WSL 2.

$ apt-get install -y cuda-toolkit-11-0
        

Running CUDA Applications

Just run your CUDA app as you would run it under Linux! Once the driver is installed there is nothing more to do to run existing CUDA applications that were built on Linux.

A snippet of running the BlackScholes Linux application from the CUDA samples is shown below.

Build the CUDA samples available under /usr/local/cuda/samples from your installation of the CUDA Toolkit in the previous section. The BlackScholes application is located under /usr/local/cuda/samples/4_Finance/BlackScholes. Alternatively, you can transfer a binary built on Linux to WSL 2!

        
C:\> wsl
To run a command as administrator (user “root”), use “sudo ”.
See “man sudo_root” for details.

$ ./BlackScholes

...
        

Setting up to Run Containers

This chapter describes the workflow for setting up the NVIDIA Container Toolkit in preparation for running GPU accelerated containers.

Install Docker

Use the Docker installation script to install Docker for your choice of WSL 2 Linux distribution. Note that NVIDIA Container Toolkit does not yet support Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend.

Note: For this release, install the standard Docker-CE for Linux distributions.

        
curl https://get.docker.com | sh
        

Install NVIDIA Container Toolkit

Now install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit (previously known as nvidia-docker2). WSL 2 support is available starting with nvidia-docker2 v2.3 and the underlying runtime library (libnvidia-container >= 1.2.0-rc.1).

For brevity, the installation instructions provided here are for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Setup the stable and experimental repositories and the GPG key. The changes to the runtime to support WSL 2 are available in the experimental repository.

$ distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID)

$ curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -

$ curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/$distribution/nvidia-docker.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list

$ curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/experimental/$distribution/libnvidia-container-experimental.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libnvidia-container-experimental.list
        

Install the NVIDIA runtime packages (and their dependencies) after updating the package listing.

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-docker2
        

Open a separate WSL 2 window and start the Docker daemon again using the following commands to complete the installation.

$ sudo service docker stop

$ sudo service docker start
        

Running CUDA Containers

In this section, we will walk through some examples of running GPU containers in a WSL 2 environment.

Simple CUDA Containers

In this example, let’s run an N-body simulation CUDA sample. This example has already been containerized and available from NGC.

$ docker run --gpus all nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/cuda-sample:nbody nbody -gpu -benchmark        
        

From the console, you should see an output as shown below.

$ docker run --gpus all nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/cuda-sample:nbody nbody -gpu -benchmark
Run "nbody -benchmark [-numbodies=]" to measure performance.
        -fullscreen       (run n-body simulation in fullscreen mode)
        -fp64             (use double precision floating point values for simulation)
        -hostmem          (stores simulation data in host memory)
        -benchmark        (run benchmark to measure performance)
        -numbodies=    (number of bodies (>= 1) to run in simulation)
        -device=       (where d=0,1,2.... for the CUDA device to use)
        -numdevices=   (where i=(number of CUDA devices > 0) to use for simulation)
        -compare          (compares simulation results running once on the default GPU and once on the CPU)
        -cpu              (run n-body simulation on the CPU)
        -tipsy= (load a tipsy model file for simulation)

NOTE: The CUDA Samples are not meant for performance measurements. Results may vary when GPU Boost is enabled.

Jupyter Notebooks

In this example, let’s run Jupyter notebook.

$ docker run -it --gpus all -p 8888:8888 tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu-py3-jupyter

        

After the container starts, you can see the following output on the console.

________                               _______________
___  __/__________________________________  ____/__  /________      __

/_/    \___//_/ /_//____/ \____//_/    /_/      /_/  \____/____/|__/

WARNING: You are running this container as root, which can cause new files in
mounted volumes to be created as the root user on your host machine.

To avoid this, run the container by specifying your user's userid:

$ docker run -u $(id -u):$(id -g) args...

Deep Learning Framework Containers

In this example, let’s run a TensorFlow container to do a ResNet-50 training run using GPUs using the 20.03 container from NGC. This is done by launching the container and then running the training script from the nvidia-examples directory.

$ docker run --gpus all -it --shm-size=1g --ulimit memlock=-1 --ulimit stack=67108864 nvcr.io/nvidia/tensorflow:20.03-tf2-py3

Let's look at another example from Lesson 15 of the Learning TensorFlow tutorial. In this example, the code creates a random matrix with a given size as input and then does a element wise operation on the input tensor.

The example also allows you to observe the speedup when the code is run on the GPU. The source code is shown below.

import sys
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
from datetime import datetime

device_name = sys.argv[1]  # Choose device from cmd line. Options: gpu or cpu
shape = (int(sys.argv[2]), int(sys.argv[2]))
if device_name == "gpu":
    device_name = "/gpu:0"
else:
    device_name = "/cpu:0"

tf.compat.v1.disable_eager_execution()
with tf.device(device_name):
    random_matrix = tf.random.uniform(shape=shape, minval=0, maxval=1)
    dot_operation = tf.matmul(random_matrix, tf.transpose(random_matrix))
    sum_operation = tf.reduce_sum(dot_operation)


startTime = datetime.now()
with tf.compat.v1.Session(config=tf.compat.v1.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True)) as session:
        result = session.run(sum_operation)
        print(result)

# Print the results
print("Shape:", shape, "Device:", device_name)
print("Time taken:", datetime.now() - startTime)
        

Save the code as matmul.py on the host's C drive, which is mapped as /mnt/c in WSL 2. Run the code using the same 20.03 TensorFlow container in the previous example. The results of running this script, launched from the mounted drive C, on a GPU and a CPU are shown below. For simplicity the output is reduced.

$ docker run --gpus all --shm-size=1g --ulimit memlock=-1 --ulimit stack=67108864 -v "${PWD}:/mnt/c" nvcr.io/nvidia/tensorflow:20.03-tf2-py3 python /mnt/c/matmul.py gpu 20000

Known Limitations

The following features are not supported in this release:

1. Performance has not yet been tuned on the preview driver. This is especially true for small workloads which suffer from a high overhead at this point.
2. Note that NVIDIA Container Toolkit does not yet support Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend. Use Docker-CE for Linux instead inside your WSL 2 Linux distribution.
3. NVIDIA Management Library (NVML) APIs are not supported. Consequently, nvidia-smi may not be functional in WSL 2.
4. CUDA debugging or profiling tools are not supported in WSL 2. This capability will be added in a future release.
5. PTX JIT is not supported (so PTX code will not be loaded from CUDA binaries for runtime compilation).
6. The following APIs in CUDA are not yet available in WSL 2:
   • IPC related APIs
   • Memmap APIs with file descriptors
7. Unified Memory is limited to the same feature set as on native Windows systems.
8. With the NVIDIA Container Toolkit for Docker 19.03, only --gpus all is supported. This means that on multi-GPU systems it is not possible to filter for specific GPU devices by using specific index numbers to enumerate GPUs.
9. When installing CUDA using the package manager, do not use the cuda, cuda-11-0, or cuda-drivers meta-packages under WSL 2. These packages have dependencies on the NVIDIA driver and the package manager will attempt to install the NVIDIA Linux driver which may result in issues. The NVIDIA Windows 10 driver should be the only driver present in the system.
10. When running the NGC Deep Learning (DL) Framework GPU containers in WSL 2, you may encounter a message:

    The NVIDIA Driver was not detected.  GPU functionality will not be available.
                    

    Note that this message is an incorrect warning for WSL 2 and will be fixed in future releases of the DL Framework containers to correctly detect the NVIDIA GPUs. The DL Framework containers will still continue to be accelerated using CUDA on WSL 2.

Troubleshooting

Here is a collection of potential errors that you may encounter when using CUDA on WSL 2:

Container Runtime Initialization Errors

• In some cases, when running a Docker container, you may encounter nvidia-container-cli : initialization error:

  $ sudo docker run --gpus all nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/cuda-sample:nbody nbody -gpu -benchmark
  docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:449: container init caused \"process_linux.go:432: running prestart hook 0 caused \\\"error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: nvidia-container-cli: initialization error: driver error: failed to process request\\\\n\\\"\"": unknown.
  ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled
                      

   

• This usually indicates that the right Microsoft Windows Insider Preview Builds, WSL 2, NVIDIA drivers and NVIDIA Container Toolkit may not be installed correctly. Use the dxdiag tools from the Run dialog and provide the diagnostic logs to NVIDIA. You can also use the CUDA on WSL 2 Forums to get in touch with NVIDIA product and engineering teams for help.
