CUDA driver on Mac OS Mavericks

bgonzales · October 27, 2013, 10:15pm

Hi guys, I have a macbook with a GeForce 320M graphic card. I was programming using CUDA SDK with Mountain Lion and latest CUDA driver without any problems, but since I installed Mavericks OS the CUDA SDK and driver seems not to be working any more. I get the following error when I try to execute a cuda example:

cudaGetDeviceCount returned 38
→ no CUDA-capable device is detected

I searched on the web for a little bit of information and there is some people with the same problem after upgrade to Mavericks. I’m not quite sure if the problem is with the CUDA driver, the Mavericks OS or both. Hope anyone could help with this or give me more information about this subject. Thanks for your help!

Cheers

Exactly the same problem on Macbook Air 2010. I’m sure that bgonzales has either white Macbook or Macbook air 2010 model.

I posted this problem last week, but my post was deleted, I hope this one will not be deleted. Same problem here, GT330M, CUDA 5.5.28 and OS X Mavericks

I get the same issue on a late 2008 Macbook with 9400M graphic card.

In my case, I found it might be because my card is a 1.1 CUDA capability card and NVIDIA stated in latest release notes (http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html) :

Nevertheless, I didn’t check if your 320M or 330M are 1.x CUDA capability cards.

Hoooo, yes indeed our cards are something like 1.2 or 1.3 capable, so it explains the problems. I hope they will release the drivers soon.

Thanks

Yes, please release drivers soon. The Adobe forums are filled with people upgrading to Mavericks, just to find CUDA crippled. Lucky for me I attempted to upgrade on a fresh SSD and had my prior system intact.

This may be unrelated, I believe 10.9 also supports OpenGL 4.xx, will this have any positive impact?

Thanks!

Same Problem here with my 9400M/9600M GT… waiting for a release. (had a lot of searching till I found the answer…)

Same issue here with cuda-mac-5.5.28_10.9_64.pkg and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB. :-(

Same issue here:
OS X 10.9
CUDA Driver Version: 5.5.28
GPU Driver Version: 8.18.27 310.40.05f01

Will this be resolved any time soon?

bytefaber · December 5, 2013, 11:06am

Hi, I’ve just installed CUDA 5.5.28. Same problem.
OS X 10.9
CUDA Driver Version: 5.5.28
GPU Driver Version: 8.18.27 310.40.05f01

./deviceQuery Starting…

CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)

cudaGetDeviceCount returned 38
→ no CUDA-capable device is detected
Result = FAIL

any workaround until the new driver release ?

… so are we still waiting for a driver to be released? Just upgraded a 2010 Macbook Pro 13" to OSX 10.9, and CUDA is no longer recognized. Trying to decide if I should just go back to Mountain Lion?

mustardseed · January 8, 2014, 7:14am

Any updates on this?

djm1329 · January 9, 2014, 11:44pm

Same problem here. Please restore CUDA functionality for my GeForce GT 330M under OS X Mavericks.

i have a Late 2008 with Mavericks… and the same problem No Cuda Capable Device is found, please fix it. I need Cuda for my university thanks

hmlq · February 16, 2014, 10:23pm

Pls support your brend in our Macs . Pls restore power of rendering via GPU . Pls start harmony of CUDA and GeForce GT 330M and Mavericks . thx

Hi,

I had the same problem as in the previous posts, but I accidentally find something which might be the solution.

After downloading CUDA 5.5 the driver version on my system was 5.5.28. This is reported by ‘CUDA Preferences’ in ‘System Preferences’. The same dialog reports this driver version as the most up-to-date.

So I downloaded a really old driver (I picked 4.2.10 randomly from [url]https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-42-archive[/url], download driver only) and installed it on my system.

The I went back to the ‘CUDA Preferences’ in ‘System Preferences’ dialog, which reported the 4.2.10 driver version, and offered installing CUDA update. After installing, the version became 5.5.43!

And now deviceQuery works!

Let me know if you find this helpful.
Cheers
Albert
