In order to take advantage of extra computational power from nVidia GPUs like Tesla, we need to install proper CUDA drivers on the system. The best choice is to use docker with nvidia-docker enabled GPU containers. The problem is, you can't install docker on older Linux systems like Fedora 17 ... In order to install docker, you need at least a Fedora version of 24. Sadly, sometimes upgrading the Linux OS for the server is not a viable option.
