Feature request: Running nvidia-docker on a system which has Intel (Power Saving Mode) enabled #612
Description
1. Issue or feature description
I usually have my computer running in the "Intel (Power Saving Mode)" (from NVIDIA X Server Settings). This means that I use my integrated Intel GPU, rather than my Nvidia GPU by default. Switching requires logging out and in (or simply rebooting), which is annoying when you have a lot of work open.
I understand that dynamic switching is still not supported under Linux (any progress there would be very welcome!), but I figured that especially when using docker, it should be somewhat straightforward to fire up to GPU just for exposing it to your docker container. From a technical point of view, would this be possible (seems much less complicated than transferring the frame buffer which is needed when dynamically switching GPUs as in macOS and Windows)? For me and my colleagues, it would be very valuable to have the GPU accessible (for CUDA/CuDNN, TensorFlow, etc.) via nvidia-docker, without compromising on battery time all the time.
