The CUDA Development Tools require an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X v. 10.5.6 or later. For 64-bit CUDA applications, Mac OS X v. 10.6.3 or later is required. To check which version you have, go to the Apple menu on the desktop and select About This Mac. You should see a dialog box similar to Figure 1. NVIDIA CUDA Getting Started Guide for Mac OS X,developer.download.nvidia.com › compute › cuda › rel › docs › CUDAG After installing CUDA one can check the versions by: nvcc -V. I have installed both 5.0 and 5.5 so it gives. Cuda Compilation Tools,release 5.5,V5.5,0.
NVIDIA® CUDA Toolkit 11.0 no longer supports development or running applications on macOS. While there are no tools which use macOS as a target environment, NVIDIA is making macOS host versions of these tools that you can launch profiling and debugging sessions on supported target platforms.
- NVIDIA CUDA Installation Guide for Mac OS X DU-05348-001v11.0 1 Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION CUDA® is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). CUDA was developed with several design goals in mind.
- Uninstall the incompatible “native version” CUDA from my Mac. Download and install the latest “web version” of NVIDIA DRIVER and CUDA from nVIDIA’s website. Let’s go in a more detailed how to fix this tutorial: STEP 1. UNINSTALL THE MACOS CUDA DRIVER.
You may download all these tools here. Note that the Nsight tools provide the ability to download these macOS host versions on their respective product pages.
Please visit each tool's overview page for more information about the tool and its supported target platforms.
The macOS host tools provided are:
- Nsight Systems - a system profiler and timeline trace tool supporting Pascal and newer GPUs
- Nsight Compute - a CUDA kernel profiler supporting Volta and new GPUs
- Visual Profiler - a CUDA kernel and system profiler and timeline trace tool supporting older GPUs (see installation instructions, below)
- cuda-gdb - a GPU and CPU CUDA application debugger (see installation instructions, below)
Instructions for installing cuda-gdb on the macOS
- This tar archive holds the distribution of the CUDA 11.0 cuda-gdb debugger front-end for macOS.
Native macOS debugging is not supported in this release. Remote debugging from a macOS host to other CUDA enabled targets, however, is supported.
- To install:
- Create an installation directory
- INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/cuda-gdb-darwin-11.0
mkdir $INSTALL_DIR
cd $INSTALL_DIR - Download the cuda-gdb-darwin-11.0.tar.gz tar archive into $INSTALL_DIR above
- Unpack the tar archive
- tar fxvz cuda-gdb-darwin-11.0.tar.gz
- Add the bin directory to your path
- PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/bin:$PATH
- Run cuda-gdb --version to confirm you're picking up the correct binaries
- cuda-gdb --version
- Download version: 8u144-b01 (Zulu: 8.23.0.3) .dmg.zip.tar.gz
- Download version: Zulu 8.23.0.3 (build 1.8.0_144-b01 .zip
- Create a backup of your boot volume. For more information, see Back up your Mac with Time Machine.
- Identify your NVIDIA GPU make and model before downloading the appropriate driver.
- Close all running Adobe applications before proceeding.
- You must update the NVIDIA display driver before updating CUDA. Check your macOS build number and download the corresponding driver, using the following table.
macOS build numbers Driver versions macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra (17G8030) 387.10.10.10.40.130 macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra (17G7024) 387.10.10.10.40.128 macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra (17G6030) 387.10.10.10.40.127 macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra (17G6029) 387.10.10.10.40.123 macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra (17G5019) 387.10.10.10.40.122 macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra (17G4015) 387.10.10.10.40.113 macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra (17G3025) 387.10.10.10.40.108 macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra (17G65) 387.10.10.10.40.105 - Open the downloaded PKG file to begin installation.
- Restart your machine when installation is complete, even if the setup does not prompt you to do so.
- After the display driver is updated, use download the qualified CUDA installer DMG from this location.
- When installation completes, restart your machine even if the setup does not prompt you to do so.
You should see the following output:

Notes about JRE Requirements when using Visual Profiler on the macOS
- OpenJDK provides an open-source (and standards compliant) implementation of a Java compliant JVM.
Binaries are provided by various vendors such as Oracle, Azul Systems (Zulu), Amazon, Red Hat, IBM, etc.
- Visual Profiler needs to use an older version of Java, specifically JRE update 151, to work correctly.
This is currently not offered by Oracle JDK but is provided by Azul Systems (Zulu).
- The Bazel Build project also uses the Zulu builds of OpenJDK.
Nvidia Drivers For Mac Os
- Download JDK 8.0.144 to get JRE update 151:
The system compatibility report in Premiere Pro scans your system and lets you know if you need to update your drivers. Use the instructions in this document to update your Nvidia drivers for macOS.
Cuda Nvidia For Mac Os X64
Note:
If you are logged in as a Guest or Standard User, you cannot install the driver. Some organizations do not allow users to regulate what they install and manipulate system and application settings. Contact your system admin for help with installing the driver in such a situation.
