# What requirements does the accelerator base image have?

For jobs utilizing an accelerator, provide a base image that includes the necessary accelerator components. Ensure the following requirements for the accelerator image:

* Compatibility with Debian (the Launch Dockerfile uses apt-get to install Python)
* Supported CPU and GPU hardware instruction set (confirm the CUDA version compatibility with the intended GPU)
* Compatibility between the supplied accelerator version and the packages in the machine learning algorithm
* Installation of packages that require additional steps for hardware compatibility
