Utilizing NVIDIA GPU for Specific Applications on Linux: A Simple Script Approach

<p>In a typical Linux setup, especially on systems with both integrated and dedicated GPUs, it&rsquo;s common to have applications use the integrated GPU by default to save power. However, there are scenarios where the power of a dedicated NVIDIA GPU is required to run graphic-intensive applications. Fortunately, NVIDIA provides an easy way to offload rendering to the dedicated GPU using the environment variables&nbsp;<code>__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD</code>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<code>__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME</code>. In this post, we will explore what these variables do, and how to use them through a simple script to easily launch applications with the dedicated GPU.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@bigdsdojo/utilizing-nvidia-gpu-for-specific-applications-on-linux-a-simple-script-approach-6bb122cc5b3c"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
