Google Cloud GPU NVENC + Windows 2016

348 Views Asked by At

Having tested some GPU+NVENC x.264 encoding successfully on AWS I am now testing with Google Cloud Compute (Tesla P100 GPU running Windows Svr 2016)

It doesn't looks like NVENC is working, has anyone achieved this with windows? or have any pointers?

I had trouble getting the P100 instances working on unbuntu GCP VMs. I finally tried updating the driver to the 390 series and it worked(!!)

For ubuntu, the process to update the driver is

sudo apt-get -y purge nvidia* sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers sudo apt-get -y update sudo apt-get -y install nvidia-390

Perhaps this is the issue in the windows VMs too.

(I did not have this problem with the K80 VMs)
