GPU compute now supported in WSL2. With the new GPU compute support, Windows Subsystem for Linux users will be able to use NVIDIA CUDA and DirectML to perform machine learning and AI development.
"This feature allows Windows users to use their graphics card to"to accelerate math-heavy workloads and uses its parallel processing to complete the required calculations faster, in many cases, than utilizing only a CPU. This support includes running popular frameworks, such as PyTorch and TensorFlow, directly within WSL2.
