bandwidthTest.cu(657) : cudaSafeCall() Runtime API error 2: out of memory.

I get the following error. Does anybody know what is wrong with my installation?

bandwidthTest by default tries to transfer 32MB of data, which might be more than fits on your GPU. Try smaller transfers with an invocation similar to this one, which will test 1MB to 16MB in 1MB increments:

[font=“Courier New”]./bandwidthTest --mode=range --start=1048576 --end=16777216 --increment=1048576[/font]

BTW, the 9400M is an integrated GPU that does not need any host<->device transfers at all. Use mapped memory to avoid the unnecessary copy.

hhm, why are the examples not tuned to use the smallest ammount of data or even better shouldn’t they detect the available amount of RAM like any other application?
