Amazon Linux AMI with NVIDIA TESLA GPU Driver
NVIDIA | 2018.03.0.20201028.0Linux/Unix, Amazon Linux 2018.03 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Up to date and fully functional!
TLDR Ignore the old reviews complaining of old versions of stuff. This is running the same CUDA 7.5 that the Nvidia website says is the latest stable. Presumably, this marketplace AMI will stay up-to-date too! ----------------- I finally, *finally* managed to install Torch 7 without errors. > Single tear of joy :') I have tried on a bare metal Ubuntu 14 LTS box. And a bare metal Fedora 20 box. (Same box in my living room!) And a g2 instance running Ubuntu 14 LTS, with the drivers installed from Nvidia's .run file and another with the .deb packages. And two different community AMIs claiming to already have CUDA and/or Torch running. Every single one of those was a totally different, very time consuming, and fairly opaque failure. Out of date graphics drivers. Everything halts because nouveau is running. Your kernel headers are incompatible. CUDA 7.0 thinks it's 6.5. deviceQuery can't find your GPU after you restarted. Ugh. My unix-fu is not strong enough for this. I just fired this up, ran the torch install commands, and everything worked! Finally I can just push some data through an LSTM! Thank you Nvidia for the support :)

slicker than snot
Needed to do some CUDA development using a modern CUDA environment. Works great. Easily installed all the other tools I needed (emacs, git, X11 dev, etc...). Able to ssh and tunnel X11 -- wonderful -- saved me from having to buy a laptop. Code builds fine.
Does the job
We've been using this image to develop and test our genetic analysis software on GPUs. Works very well. Moving to production.
