cuda

If set to True all host with this attribute will have the CUDA toolkit included int the packages installed on the machine. If the host is already installed this will take affect on the next re-installation. Enabling this does not automatically set the nVidia driver to be the CUDA driver, and may required the viz_nvidia_driver attribute to also be changed.

viz_nvidia_driver_options

The command line arguments passed to the nVidia driver installation script. The default values work for all drivers included in the Viz Roll, and the attribute should not be modified unless needed.

viz_nvidia_driver

The full pathname of the nVidia driver installation script. The Viz Roll installs both the production nVidia driver and beta-CUDA driver installation script. This attribute is used to select which driver is installed on first boot after a tile node is first installed (or re-installed).

viz_tile_bottom_bezel

The size in pixels of the tile's bottom edge bezel (mullion).

viz_tile_left_bezel

The size in pixels of the tile's left edge bezel (mullion).

viz_tile_resolution

The pixel resolution of the tile in the standard X11 format of COLxROW.

viz_tile_right_bezel

The size in pixels of the tile's right edge bezel (mullion).

viz_tile_top_bezel

The size in pixels of the tile's top edge bezel (mullion).
