## Quick Reference

### Essential Commands

**Check CUDA Version**:
```bash
nvcc --version
ls -la /usr/local/cuda
```

**Switch to CUDA 12.9**:
```bash
sudo rm /etc/alternatives/cuda
sudo ln -s /usr/local/cuda-12.9 /etc/alternatives/cuda
nvcc --version  # Verify
```

**Validate Environment**:
```bash
./scripts/validate_cuda_env.sh
```

**Build with Validation**:
```bash
cargo clean
cargo build -p ml --release --features cuda
```

**Verify Binary**:
```bash
ldd target/release/examples/train_tft_parquet | grep cublas
# Expected: libcublas.so.12
```

**Deploy to Runpod**:
```bash
python3 scripts/runpod_deploy.py --gpu-type "RTX A4000"
```
