The project Goals
- Install Linux Mint
- Setup for Microsoft Remote Desktop
- Install Docker
- Explore Linux Logical Volume Management
- Setup Linux Kernel Virtualization
- Install Nvidia Tesla K80 Card
- Design Cooling Solution
- Compile Ollama Suport
We were gifted an Nvidia Telsa K80. With 4995 Nvidia Cuda Cores and 24GB of GDDR5 memory, it is quite the card and can give us the ability to start some AI work in our lab. The difficulty is making it work with our equipment.
We first installed it into one of our newer systems, used primarily for gaming. We thought that the extra power would offer us extra performance. We had planned this as an opprotunity to explore the Windows Subsystem for Linux and that it could host Open-Webui with a Docker instance. We ran into trouble with Ollama‘s Windows support for the card
We needed a Linux system that we could install the card into, and then compile support for the older CUDA cores into Ollama.
We thought this could become a solid series of updates

As such, when we attempt…
