driver

Four minutes is a 15 GB image pulled through one registry connection; the CUDA error is a container runtime newer than the host driver. The pull arithmetic layer by layer, what a cache hit actually saves, the compatibility rule with its two exceptions, and the image layout that makes both problems go away.

The driver logs a numbered code when something goes wrong on a GPU, and the number tells you whether to retry the job, drain the node or file a hardware return. The codes worth memorizing in three groups, the action each implies, and the automation that turns a log line into a drained node.
