conda里面有没有cuda_已安装的没有conda的cuda：pytorch可以使用非conda cuda工具包吗？...

Does conda pytorch need a different version than the official non-conda cuda at https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit?

In other words: Can I use a non-conda cuda toolkit for a pytorch installation?

Context:

If you go through the "command helper" at https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/, you can choose between cuda versions 9.2, 10.1, 10.2 and None.

Taking 10.2 can result in:

conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch

Taking "None" builds the following command, but then you also cannot use cuda in pytorch:

conda install pytorch torchvision cpuonly -c pytorch

The question arose since pytorch installs a different version (10.2 instead of the officially available 11.0 of the non-conda install), and the conda install takes 325 MB. If both versions were 11.0 and the installation were smaller, you might not even notice the possible difference.

解决方案

I imagine it is probably possible to get a conda-installed pytorch to use a non-conda-installed CUDA toolkit. I don't know how to do it, and in my experience, when using conda packages that depend on CUDA, its much easier just to provide a conda-installed CUDA toolkit, and let it use that, rather than anything else. This often means I have one CUDA toolkit installed inside conda, and one installed in the usual location.

However, regardless of how you install pytorch, if you install a binary package (e.g. via conda), that version of pytorch will depend on a specific version of CUDA (that it was compiled against, e.g. 10.2) and you cannot use any other version of CUDA, regardless of how or where it is installed, to satisfy that dependency.
