== GCC version issue ==
When using a later version of Fedora than what is supported by the NVIDIA CUDA Official repository, you might be unable to compile.
You can either:
* Tweak the /usr/local/cuda-8.0/targets/x86_64-linux/include/host_defines.h to accept the Fedora default compiler.
* Install the appropriate gcc version for CentOS developper toolset. Please see https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-4/

=== Which driver Package ===
Both "CUDA" and "RPM Fusion" repositories provide the nvidia driver packages. Usually, the package provided by RPM Fusion is higher. But in case you want to avoid the risk, add this:
{{{
#/etc/yum.repos.d/cuda.repo
[cuda]
name=cuda
...
exclude=xorg-x11-drv-nvidia*,akmod-nvidia*,kmod-nvidia*,nvidia-settings,nvidia-xconfig,nvidia-persistenced
}}}


=== NVIDIA provided libOpenCL ===
NVIDIA only advertise OpenCL 1.2 with the binary driver at this time. As a consequence, they provide an old version of libOpenCL.so.1 which works fine with their binary driver.
As most software in Fedora and RPM Fusion are built using a newer libOpenCL, the system linker detects that and issues the following message:
{{{
 /usr/local/cuda-9.2/targets/x86_64-linux/lib/libOpenCL.so.1: no version information available (required by ffmpeg)
}}}

You can either ignore the message or manually delete the libOpenCL.so.1 provided by NVIDIA (run sudo ldconfig once deleted). Please verify to not have other OpenCL providers that might interfere with NVIDIA OpenCL usage.
(looking at /etc/OpenCL/vendors ).

=== Running blender ===
Even when only running blender, you need a CUDA compatible compiler as described above. This is because blender will compile the "CUDA Kernels" optimized for your own GPU. You can run blender with:
{{{
 scl run devtoolset-7 blender
}}}
Once the "CUDA kernels" are compiled, you can run blender normally
