I am about ready to take the plunge and upgrade from Deepstack to CP.AI. I'd appreciate any advice or comments on the proper approach.
Currently running an I5 Windows 10 system with a Quadro P400/2GB DDR5. BI is 5.5.7.11. (I installed an older version of CP.AI but it didn't work right and I backed down until I could focus on the project. BI is older because I had Deepstack issues with newer versions of BI.) CUDA is v10.1.243.
I have downloaded the CP.AI script "install-CUDnn.bat" and CUDA Toolkit 11.8 and CP.AI 1.6.7.0. I also made a complete C: drive image backup so I can revert if it all goes badly.
My plan is to:
1. Upgrade the P400 drivers to Release 515 (following the instructions in the script to upgrade to 11.7 drivers, 11.8 is the latest version that nVidia shows).
2. Upgrade the CUDA Toolkit to 11.8. Is there any reason to upgrade specifically to 11.7 even though 11.8 is available?
3. Run the "install-CUDnn.bat" script
4. Install CP.AI v1.6.7.
5. Test to see if anything yet has broken the current Deepstack just so I know have a still working system to which I can return if needed. Probably do another C: image backup.
6. Update BI. Choices are stable 5.6.1.3 or beta 5.6.2.9. Is the latter needed for CP.AI?
7. Point BI to CP.AI instead of Deepstack. Do more research into custom models (Thanks
@MikeLud1 !) and fine-tune.
Please tell me if there's something stupid in the above.
