SUSE in partnership with NVIDIA today announced making the NVIDIA CUDA TOolkit officially available on all SUSE platforms.

Similar to [1]Canonical's recent announcement of official support for NVIDIA CUDA within Ubuntu Linux archives , SUSE today announced formal CUDA support on SUSE Linux operating systems.

This evolved support for NVIDIA CUDA on SUSE Enterprise Linux includes simplified installation support via the SUSE repositories, continuous updates for new CUDA packages that align with the latest NVIDIA official releases, and is available to all SUSE users.

SUSE wrote in today's [2]announcement :

"Following a close collaboration with NVIDIA, SUSE can now distribute the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit directly within our products. You might have already seen the news from NVIDIA about this; we’re excited to share what this means for you, our developer community. Our goal is simple: to make deploying CUDA on SUSE platforms radically easier, helping you accelerate your work in AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and beyond.

...

We’ve teamed with NVIDIA to bring the CUDA software stack directly into SUSE products.

This means you can now get the essential CUDA components right alongside your other SUSE packages, which will streamline your entire setup and dependency management. This is a game-changer, especially for complex AI frameworks like PyTorch and essential libraries like OpenCV."
