The error message indicates a mismatch between the driver and kernel. This can happen due to incompatibility, unsigned modules due to Secure Boot, or a failed DKMS build. Installing a compatible version, MOK signing, and rebuilding DKMS are valid solutions. While nouveau can interfere, the error message points specifically to a module loading problem, making the other options more likely. Lack of disk space is a less common, but possible, issue.

The NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit provides the necessary libraries and tools for GPU-accelerated computing. A deep learning framework (TensorFlow or PyTorch) is required to build and train deep learning models that leverage the GPUs. While a web browser and text editor might be useful, they are not mandatory. Spreadsheet applications have no purpose here.

The primary benefit of a dedicated storage network like InfiniBand or RoCE is the significant improvement in latency and bandwidth (option B) compared to Ethernet. These technologies are designed for high-performance computing and can handle the intense 1/0 demands of AI/ML workloads. While security (A) can be improved through isolation, and QOS (E) is possible, the performance advantage is the most crucial factor. Cost (D) is generally higher, and management (C) can be more complex.

The number of PCIe lanes directly impacts bandwidth. Direct CPU connection minimizes latency. Slot color and numbering are usually irrelevant. Same PCIe Gen isn't critical as long as minimum requirements are met.

The 'ibroute add dest Ox1a dev ibC command creates a static route for traffic destined for the InfiniBand LID (Local Identifier) Ox1a, using the InfiniBand interface named 'ib0'. InfiniBand routing is primarily based on LIDS, not IP addresses directly (though IP over 1B is possible). The 'dest' parameter specifies the destination LID.
