 Log of platform setup and configuration
+===== Base =====
+===== NVIDIA Driver =====
+This is probably not required as a driver is included with CUDA.
+<code>
+chmod 770 NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.26.run
+/etc/init.d/lightdm stop
+./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.26.run
+reboot
+</code>
+===== CUDA ====
+Installation of CUDA from debian package
+==== Confirm GPU ====
+<code>
+lspci | grep -i nvidia
+</code>
+Output example
+<code>
+:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1b06 (rev a1)
+:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 10ef (rev a1)
+:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1b06 (rev a1)

+</code>
+==== gcc version ====
+<code>
+gcc --version
+</code>
+<code>
+gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0 20160609

+==== ensure for headers ====
+<code>
+sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
+</code>
+==== Download CUDA Toolkit ====
+<code>
+wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/8.0/Prod2/local_installers/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb
+</code>
+==== Confirm checksum ====
+<code>
+wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/8.0/Prod2/docs/sidebar/md5sum-txt
+</code>
+<code>
+md5sum cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb
+cat md5sum-txt | grep cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64
+</code>
+==== Install ====
+<code>
+mv cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb
+sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install cuda
+</code>
+Reboot system.
+==== Environment Setup ====
+=== Add CUDA bin path ===
+</code>
+export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:${PATH}
+echo $PATH
+<code>
+=== Ensure for LD_LIBRARY_PATH ===
+Ensure LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes `/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64`
+<code>
+echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+</code>
+If not set set using:
+<code>
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64
+</code>
+otherwise something like this:
+<code>
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+</code>
+==== /etc/skel ====
+Configure `/etc/skel` so that new users have the proper environment configuration
+<code>
+nano /etc/skel/.profile
+</code>
+Content example
+<code>
+# set user PATH to include /usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin
+if [ -d "/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin" ]; then
+    PATH="/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:$PATH"
+fi
+# set user LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64
+if [ -d "/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64" ]; then
+    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
+</code>
+<code>
+</code>
+<code>
+</code>
+=== GPU Accounting Setup and Configuration ===
+The CUDA nvidia-persistenced needs to be configured for the target OS's startup system. In the case of Ubuntu 16.04 this would be systemd.
+== Confirm Driver Version ==
+<code>
+nvidia-smi
+</code>
+Output example

+== Download and uncompress ==
+Download nvidia-persistenced version that matches your driver version (see output example above)
+<code>
+mkdir -p ~/src/ubuntu/16.04/nvidia
+cd ~/src/ubuntu/16.04/nvidia
+wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-persistenced/nvidia-persistenced-375.39.tar.bz2
+tar xvjf nvidia-persistenced-375.39.tar.bz2

+== Edit the nvidia-persistenced.conf.template ==
+= Confirm creation of the nvidia-persistenced user =
+<code>
+sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep nvidia
+</code>
+Output example:
+<code>
+nvidia-persistenced:x:126:132:NVIDIA Persistence Daemon,,,:/:/sbin/nologin
+</code>
+== Edit the systemd template ==
+<code>
+cd nvidia-persistenced-375.39/init/systemd
+nano nvidia-persistenced.service.template
+</code>
+Replace __USER__ with the nvidia-persistence users name `nvidia-persistenced`
+== Run the installer ==
+<code>
+cd ~/sys/sw/ubuntu/16.04/nvidia/nvidia-persistenced-375.39/init
+sudo ./install.sh
