Root Cause:

The NVIDIA drivers and/or Cuda 8 are not installed.
 
Resolution:
For the GPU configuration, both the NVIDIA drivers and Cuda need to installed if they haven’t already:
.Cuda 8
.Drivers (v384.66)

Once installed verify the GPU is detected by running the 'nvidia-smi' command and verifying it lists the K80 GPU as detected.
