Universe on Ubuntu Chef Cookbook

v0.2.0 (In Development)

The Universe on Ubuntu cookbook creates a virtual machine with Ubuntu 16.04LTS or 14.04LTS as operating system and configures all environment needed to make it possible to use OpenAI Universe as a software platform to measure and train Artificial Intelligence on an extremely wide range of real-time, complex and heterogeneous environments.

Attributes

default['universe']['gpu'] = false

The GPU attribute is set to false by default enabling only CPU processing.
In order to enable GPU processing you should change the GPU attribute to true.
When GPU attribute is enabled the recipe installs a different version of TensorFlow plus CUDA and CuDNN libraries.

TensorFlow GPU support requires having a GPU card with NVidia Compute Capability (>= 3.0). More info here: CUDA GPUs
