In this article, I will share some of my experience on installing NVIDIA driver and CUDA on Linux OS. Here I mainly use Ubuntu as example. Comments for CentOS/Fedora are also provided as much as I can.

Table of Contents

• Install NVIDIA Graphics Driver via apt-get
• Install NVIDIA Graphics Driver via runfile
  • Remove Previous Installations (Important)
  • Download the Driver
  • Install Dependencies
  • Creat Blacklist for Nouveau Driver

• Stop lightdm/gdm/kdm

FDW w/ PostGIS

The PostgreSQL native FDW (foreign data wrapper), postgres_fdw allows you to access tables from remote PostgreSQL servers very transparently, even doing thoughtful things like pushing restrictions to the remote server to reduce the amount of data transferred and ensure work is done close to the data.

Out of the box, the standard PostgreSQL FDW also allows PostGIS geometry to transit from remote to local hosts, which is pretty cool.

However, it will not push spatial restrictions from the local host to the remote host, only restrictions that relate to built-in types. I've done a rough and ready patch to the 9.4 branch to allow spatial restrictions to pass over FDW, and it is available here:

• https://github.com/pramsey/postgres/tree/9.3-postgres-fdw-postgis
• https://github.com/pramsey/postgres/tree/9.4-postgres-fdw-postgis
