is it possible to run the program that needs NVIDIA GPU?

Question

I am facing a problem related to GPU's.

I am trying to execute a program in my laptop and facing the following issue.

AssertionError: Found no NVIDIA driver on your system. Please check that you have an NVIDIA GPU and installed a driver from http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

When I check the graphics of my system, it is showing that the graphics of my system is Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2).

So, I am suspecting that my system does not have any NVIDIA gpu. Is it true?

If true, is it impossible to run the program on my system (by making changes)? Or is there any way to make the program runnable on my system?

Answer 1

Get the list of graphic hardware :

sudo lshw -C video

If the hardware has no NVidia GPU, you must run PYTorch with CPU
See : https://github.com/junyanz/pytorch-CycleGAN-and-pix2pix/blob/master/docs/tips.md

Run a model on CPU with gpu_ids option set to -1:

--gpu_ids -1
