Install NVIDIA and CUDA in Linux version without any problems.

-

Hi all,

If you are reading this post means you wish to run CUDA environment and has  tried installing CUDA with less success or running cuda for the first time.
Dont worry I have got all covered in this blog post.

To Install CUDA and run NVIDIA drivers follow the below steps: -

  1. Find the version of Linux installed using uname -r command or cat /etc/*-release command
  2. Find already existing default drivers from NVIDIA - sudo apt-cache search nvidia
  3. Install the building dependencies first using sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
  4. Install the nvidia driver For example use always one driver version before latest to be on the safe side. So if you plan to install nvidia-352 driver use the command : - sudo apt-get install nvidia-352
  5. Ensure that novaeu driver is black listed.
  6. Reboot the pc using command sudo reboot
  7. Now, launch the terminal and type nvidia-smi => this should display an output something like nvidia driver version and the jobs/process running as no process running in the output in terminal
  8. Congratulations, now you have nvidia driver installed properly
  9. Download CUDA 8.0RC. In order to download the installers, you need to login or register(free) first. Choose Linux -> x86_64 -> Ubuntu -> 16.04 -> runfile(local). Download both Base Installer and Patch 1. Run command:
  10. Download link is 
    wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/*
    sudo sh cuda_7.5.27_linux.run
  11. Set up the development environment by modifying the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables, also add them to the end of the .bashrc file 
  12. export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-7.5/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}} 
  13. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-7.5/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} 
  14. Source the bashrc file using source ~/.bashrc 
  15. Now type nvcc -V to check that Cuda is installed or not
  16. Install cudnn library : - Download cudnn library from NVIDIA website:  -  https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn
  17. tar -zxvf cudnn-7.5-linux-x64-v5.1.tgz
  18. cd cuda/
  19. sudo cp include/* /usr/local/cuda-7.5/include/
  20. sudo cp lib64/* /usr/local/cuda-7.5/lib64/
  21. sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda-7.5/lib64/libcudnn*
  22. Check whether cudnn is installed now or not
    1. cat /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h | grep CUDNN_MAJOR -A 2 
  23. If the above command does not give any error - congratulations you have installed cudnn. 
Stay tuned for further updates

SOX - Sound eXchange - How to use SOX for audio processing tasks in research.

This article is part of the on-going Software for Geeks series. SoX stands for So und e X change. SoX is a cross-platform command line audio utility tool that works on Linux, Windows and MacOS. It is very helpful in the following areas while dealing with audio and music files. Audio File Converter Editing audio files Changing audio attributes Adding audio effects Plus lot of advanced sound manipulation features In general, audio data is described by following four characteristics: Rate – The sample rate is in samples per second. For example, 44100/8000 Data size – The precision the data is stored in.  For example, 8/16 bits Data encoding – What encoding the data type uses. For example, u-law,a-law Channels – How many channels are contained in the audio data.  For example, Stereo 2 channels SoX supports over 20 audio file formats. To get the list of all supported formats, execute sox -h from the command line. One of the major benefits of a command-line...

Sox of Silence - Original post - http://digitalcardboard.com/blog/2009/08/25/the-sox-of-silence/

The SoX of Silence SoX is, by their own definition,  the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation. And no doubt it’s full of fun with slicing and dicing and playback and recording and filtering and effects capabilities. But SoX is a command line tool, which means obscure syntax and parameters in order to get things done. I’ve been trying off and on for months to try to understand the  silence  filter from within SoX, which allows one to remove silence from the beginning, middle, or end of the audio. Sounds, simple, doesn’t it?  Well, it should be. Below is the  man page for the  silence  filter : silence  [-l] above-periods [duration threshold[d|%] [below-periods duration threshold[d|%]] Removes silence from the beginning, middle, or end of the audio. Silence is anything below a specified threshold. The above-periods value is used to indicate if audio should be trimmed at the beginning of the audio. A value of zero indicates no...

Today we will learn How to get the duration of a file using ffmpeg 1. Format Container Duration - [This works for both Video and Audio Files - better to report numbers using this command] ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration \ -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 input.mp4     2.
