Problems with CUDA on Linux Mint 17.2 "Rafaela" with Tesla C2070

[i]Hi,

I have problem with CUDA memory allocation. When I run[/i] deviceQuery I get the response:

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

Detected 1 CUDA Capable device(s)

Device 0: “Tesla C2070”
CUDA Driver Version / Runtime Version 7.5 / 7.5

Compute Mode:
< Default (multiple host threads can use ::cudaSetDevice() with device simultaneously) >

deviceQuery, CUDA Driver = CUDART, CUDA Driver Version = 7.5, CUDA Runtime Version = 7.5, NumDevs = 1, Device0 = Tesla C2070
Result = PASS

However when I try bandwidthTest:

$ ./bandwidthTest
[CUDA Bandwidth Test] - Starting…
Running on…

Device 0: Tesla C2070
Quick Mode

CUDA error at bandwidthTest.cu:756 code=2(cudaErrorMemoryAllocation) “cudaEventCreate(&start)”

I also get code 2 whenever I run cudaMalloc every time.
Please help!

I don’t think Linux Mint 17.2 is an officially supported linux distro for CUDA.

Try rebooting the machine.

Linux Mint 17.2 is Ubuntu 14.04 derivate so it should probably work.
Tried rebooting, tried installing 7.0 CUDA driver, but still the same error…
