Installation

TauREx-CUDA requires the latest nVidia CUDA toolkit. In particular, you must have access to the nvcc compiler. This can be tested by running on the terminal or command prompt:

> nvcc

This will either be available as a module in your HPC cluster:

> module load cuda
> nvcc

Downloaded and installed from the offical nVidia toolkit page. Or downloaded for Mac and Linux from conda-forge:

> conda install -c conda-forge cudatoolkit-dev
> nvcc

Once installed the plugin can be simply installed using:

> pip install taurex_cuda

Or for the latest development version, directly from git:

> pip install git+https://github.com/ucl-exoplanets/taurex-cuda_public.git

You can verify if the plugin is functioning by seeing if TauREx successfully detects cuda:

> taurex --plugins
