Cudf: [QST] UserWarning: you will need a GPU with NVIIDA Pascal or newer architecture

[stevencarlislewalker]

What is your question?

We are using cuDF to build out predictive modelling pipelines.

We get the following warning.

Note that we are able to create cuDF dataframes, so we are not sure how relevant the warning is for us. We are warned about a potential issue, but then there appears to be no such issue.

How can we tell whether this warning points to a genuine issue in any particular case?

Thanks!

@stevencarlislewalker most of RAPIDS projects support GPUs from Pascal+ architectures only, including cudf. And from the screenshot above, it seems that you are on a K80 which is 2 architectures older than Pascal. Thus, this warning is expected in your case. Can you retry this on any GPU from this list whose capability version is >= 6.0?

This is a genuine warning. If you actually try to run algorithms on the data frames you created they are likely to fail with errors.
