## What it is
NVIDIA container runtime that allowed Docker and other container engines to run GPU-accelerated containers with CUDA support. This repository is archived and superseded by the NVIDIA Container Toolkit.

## Use cases
- run GPU-accelerated containers with Docker
- expose NVIDIA GPUs to containerized workloads
- run CUDA applications inside containers
- set up GPU support for containerized machine learning

## When to choose
- you need historical reference for the legacy nvidia-container-runtime
- you are researching how GPU container runtimes evolved

## When to avoid
- you want to run GPU containers today - use NVIDIA Container Toolkit instead
- you need support or bug fixes - the repository is archived

## Facets
