# CUDAVersion

Media Server can use a graphics card (GPU) to significantly increase the speed of some types of training and analysis. This parameter specifies whether to enable GPU support for analysis tasks and which CUDA version to use.

- To use Media Server in CPU mode, do not set this parameter.
- To enable GPU support with CUDA version 10, set this parameter to `10`.

TIP: Several requirements must be met before you can use a GPU. For information about how to use a GPU with Media Server, refer to the Media Server Administration Guide. Media Server does not start if you enable GPU support but the server has no GPU, or the requirements for using the GPU have not been met.
