Tensorflow

sudo dnf install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

Get download and see instructions from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&Distribution=CentOS&target_version=8&target_type=rpm_local. They will look like the below

sudo rpm --install cuda-repo-*.rpm
rm cuda-repo-*.rpm
sudo dnf clean expire-cache
sudo dnf -y module install nvidia-driver:latest-dkms
sudo dnf -y install cuda
sudo dnf -y install freeglut-devel libX11-devel libXi-devel libXmu-devel make mesa-libGLU-devel

There is some other random step that says the below - maybe follow it or not?

The libcuda.so library is installed in the /usr/lib{,64}/nvidia directory. For pre-existing projects which use libcuda.so, it may be useful to add a symbolic link from libcuda.so in the /usr/lib{,64} directory.

Testing

cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
mkdir -p ~/sandbox/
cd ~/sandbox/cuda-examples/
cuda-install-samples-11.3.sh .
cd NVIDIA_CUDA-*_Samples
make
./bin/x86_64/linux/release/deviceQuery

cuDNN
Download cuDNN tar from https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn.

cd ~/*ownloads
sudo rpm -ivh libcudnn8-8.2.0.53-1.cuda11.3.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh libcudnn8-devel-8.2.0.53-1.cuda11.3.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh libcudnn8-samples-8.2.0.53-1.cuda11.3.x86_64.rpm

Testing cuDNN

sudo dnf -y install freeimage freeimage-devel
mkdir -p ~/sandbox/cudnn-examples
cd ~/sandbox/cudnn-examples
cp -r /usr/src/cudnn_samples_v8/ .
cd cudnn_samples_v8/mnistCUDNN
make clean && make
./mnistCUDNN
