[Notes] 为什么目前无法再docker for windows中调用GPU

Well you need to understand that direct access to the graphics card is done by a driver. If your host system is windows there is no way for the Linux environment inside your docker container to communicate with this windows driver. It's like trying to run a MacOs executeable in Windows. It simply won't work. If the host system is linux you can bypass the graphics card to the docker container.
简单来说调用GPU的是GPU的驱动,而windows安装的是windows版本的驱动程序,使用docker安装的是linux的系统,linux的系统无法使用windows的驱动程序,故此无法调用GPU。docker中的容器调用驱动,都是要使用宿主机中内核里的驱动,因此当宿主机是windows时,所有需要借助驱动的docker镜像都用不了了。
