SMP only supports training jobs using CUDA 11. When you define a PyTorch or TensorFlow
``Estimator`` with ``smdistributed`` ``enabled``,
it uses CUDA 11. When you extend or customize your own training image
you must use a CUDA 11 base image. See
`Extend or Adapt A Docker Container that Contains SMP
