CUDA is NVIDIA's proprietary parallel computing platform and application programming interface that allows software to use certain types of graphics processing units for accelerated general-purpose processing, an approach called general-purpose computing on GPUs.

It is very useful for Machine learning and software development. It significantly speeds up a lot of the processes like building, modelling and compiling.

Adding it to the NVIDIA image is as simple as adding nvidia-cuda-toolkit (https://packages.vanillaos.org/package/nvidia-cuda-toolkit) to the recipe.yml file. This addition would add 163 MBs of size to the image but would be useful to a significant portion of the users using this image.

No, container toolkit is a separate package, will look into it and maybe add it https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html.

The Cuda toolkit takes up a lot of space. We can't afford that in the standard install. This is being reverted.
