Enable NVIDIA GPUs on a Ubuntu server for compute/inference serving — install the open-kernel-module driver (required for Blackwell/Hopper), CUDA toolkit, turn on IOMMU (intel_iommu=on iommu=pt), set up nvidia-persistenced, and install/wire a container runtime (Docker + nvidia-container-toolkit, or the minimal CLI), then verify all GPUs, IOMMU groups, P2P, nvcc, and GPU containers. Use when asked to enable or set up NVIDIA GPUs, install the NVIDIA driver + CUDA on Ubuntu, install Docker + nvidia-container-toolkit for GPU containers, configure GPU IOMMU/passthrough, prepare a host for GPU serving (vLLM/PyTorch/TensorRT/NIM), or troubleshoot nouveau, persistence mode, GPU-in-container, or driver/CUDA/glibc problems.

From the source SKILL.md

Bring a fresh UEFI Ubuntu server with NVIDIA GPUs to a serving-ready state. Order matters: driver → IOMMU cmdline → CUDA → persistence → container access → verify. Driver and cmdline changes each need a reboot — batch them (Steps 1 + 2 reboot together).

What this skill does

Ubuntu Nvidia Gpu Enablement is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ubuntu-nvidia-gpu-enablement/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when asked to enable or set up NVIDIA GPUs, install the NVIDIA driver + CUDA on Ubuntu, install Docker + nvidia-container-toolkit for GPU containers, configure GPU IOMMU/passthrough, prepare a host for GPU serving (vLLM/PyTorch/TensorRT/NIM), or troubleshoot nouveau, persistence mode, GPU-in-container, or driver/CUDA/glibc problems.
