Implementing CUDA with ROS/Gazebo
Hi! I'm currently trying to configure CUDA with ROS/Gazebo because it looks like when my simulation is running, the graphics card is hardly utilized. (I'm not really sure if CUDA would help but I'm thinking at the very least it would help increase the simulation speed). My system is currently running ROS Melodic and Gazebo 9 on Ubuntu 18.04.
Anyways, after some digging, I found this wiki page with instructions on how to install parallel_quickstep: https://wiki.ros.org/parallel_quickstep. However, from the site it seems like ROS Melodic is not supported. Moreover, this post https://answers.ros.org/question/2451... seems to indicate that the svn uris indicated in the rosinstall that the wiki page tells you to download are no longer being maintained. Sure enough, when I tried to use rosinstall on the file, it timed out with these errors:
svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/stacks/pr2_simulator/tags/diamondback'
svn: E000110: Error running context: Connection timed out
Any ideas on how to work around this problem/implement CUDA with my system would be greatly appreciated!
In my experience, unless a tool/program/framework has added explicit support for something like CUDA (or OpenCL, etc), nothing will change if you "enable" it (how would you do that in any case, if there is no support built-in?).
