Creating a machine image that can work on 2 machines with different graphics cards












1














My scenario:




  • I have two different Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machines.

  • Both have NVidia GPUs.

  • Both are Tesla cards with different architectures and require
    different drivers.

  • Both have all drivers installed and working
    properly using a debian package.


My question:



Is there a way to create a single image containing both sets of drivers? If so, how would I point the machine to the correct driver, or would I need to at all?
