We are beginning to deploy GPU enabled code and would like to tie this into our container deployment methods using rancher. Nvidia is distributing a thin-layer over docker called nvidia-docker which appears to smooth some of the hiccups between CUDA versions in containers and nvidia drivers residing on the physical hosts. I am wondering if I can specify control how rancher launches containers on the my hosts and whether I can can set it up to use nvidia-docker instead of launching with docker? I may going about this in a completely incorrect way as [https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/wiki/NVIDIA-driver](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/wiki/NVIDIA-driver) implies you can do most without but with a lot poking around. Other suggestions welcome! ---

We are preparing for the same. the usage of CUDA is way forward for machine learning and other applications. Is this currently supported by Rancher? Any suggestion would be appreciated. ---
