Inconsistency of IDs between 'nvidia-smi -L' and cuDeviceGetName()

Question

I\'m running this command into a shell and get:

C:\\Users\\me>nvidia-smi -L    
GPU 0: Quadro K2000 (UUID: GPU-b1ac50d1-019c-58e1-3598-4877fffffd3f17)    
G         


        

Answer 1

You can set the device order for CUDA environment in your shell to follow the bus ID instead of the default of fastest card. Requires CUDA 7 and up.

export CUDA_DEVICE_ORDER=PCI_BUS_ID
