Join us online Oct. 5-9 for the GPU Technology Conference (GTC), featuring live and on-demand sessions, discounted NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute training, and the opportunity to connect with industry experts. Offerings this year include: GPU-Accelerated End-to-End Signal Processing with Python DLI Instructor-Led Workshop - Fundamentals of Accelerated Computing with CUDA C/C. CUDA 5.0 isn't compatible with Yosemite, and neither are the Xcode/SDK versions that provide the host toolchain CUDA 5.0 needs. – talonmies Dec 23 '14 at 8:03 NVIDIA says that driver support for older generation GPUs with SM1.x has been deprecated.

HI,
I have upgraded my OS to Mac Yosemite. Now all of my CUDA gPU WUs are not running.
From the log:

How do I fix this?Thanks,

Does Yosemite have an (updated) Nvidia GPU driver with CUDA?
If not, see http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/78853/en-usPlease do not private message me for tech support, these will be ignored!

Jord,
It was a good idea but the update is for Windows. Thanks for the answer as my chat with nVidia has pointed me in another direction.

??? that link I gave points for me to:
Quadro & GeForce Mac OS X Driver Release 343.01.01
Version: 343.01
Release Date: 2014.10.18
Operating System: Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.0
Language: English (US)
File Size: 50.00 MB

You said in your first post that you upgraded to Yosemite and since that time had that problem, so I don't see where Windows gets into it.Please do not private message me for tech support, these will be ignored!

Sorry..
That reference that you gave me was for MacPro machines. I have an iMac which is has a different architecture. My graphics card is an nVidia GTX 780M. I found a drive update for an nVidia GTX 780 which is for PCs with Windows.
I talked to nVidia and they stated that they do not have an updated driver for my card and they pointed me to the Apple Update app. Of course, that app doesn't have an update either. I suspect that in a future update to Yosemite for iMac it will just show up.
JimThanks,
Jim

Have you try installing an older version of Cuda?

http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-6.0.51-driver.html
just a thought

One thing the developer pointed out to me: If you updated to CUDA 6.5, then do know that none of the present recommended BOINC versions will recognize your Nvidia GPU because the new drivers are 64bit only. Previous drivers may work on Yosemite, but perhaps also not.
Charlie Fenton, BOINC Developer for the Mac wrote:
Hi Jord,
If he has 'upgraded' to CUDA driver 6.5.x, then current versions of BOINC won't recognize it because it is 64-bit only.
We were about to release a new version of BOINC with a 64-bit client which will recognize the new CUDA drivers, but found that it causes kernel panics (crashes the OS!), at least when used with older NVIDIA GPUs with compute capabilities less than 2.0. His GTX 780 should work fine with it, though; at least we hope so. We are working on getting a fix for this major issue before releasing a new BOINC for the Mac.
He can try downgrading to CUDA 6.0.51 or 6.0.54 in the meantime, but i don't know if they will work with Yosemite. I suspect they probably will, but have not tested it.
Cheers,

I am running on 6.5.18. I'll just wait for the BOINC update. I have de-CUDAed my programs.
Thanks for all the discussion and help.

  1. Mac Nvidia graphics card drivers and CUDA downloads for MacOS High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks and Mountain Lion - later released drivers first. Download Mac Nvidia drivers for macOS 10.13.6 all the way back to OS X 10.8.5.
  2. On Monday Nvidia published the release notes for the next update of its CUDA platform and noted that “CUDA 10.2 (Toolkit and NVIDIA driver) is the last release to support macOS for developing.
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 For Mac

Note: Video conversion for mac.

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.

Versions
Operating system

macOS 10.13.6 (most recent version of High Sierra)

macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and later does not currently support CUDA so do not upgrade beyond macOS 10.13.6 if CUDA support is required.

Blackberry

Premiere Pro version

Premiere Pro version 13.1.x or earlier.

Starting with Premiere Pro 14.0, CUDA is no longer supported. If you have an Apple supplied NVIDIA GPU, you can use the Metal Renderer. For more information, see Changes to GPU and DV/HDV support in Premiere Pro on macOS.

  • 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.

  1. Close all running Adobe applications before proceeding.

  2. You must update the NVIDIA display driver before updating CUDA. Check your macOS build number and download the corresponding driver, using the following table.

  3. Open the downloaded PKG file to begin installation.

  4. Restart your machine when installation is complete, even if the setup does not prompt you to do so.

  5. After the display driver is updated, use download the qualified CUDA installer DMG from this location.

  6. Open the downloaded DMG and double click the CUDADriver.pkg file to begin installation.

  7. When installation completes, restart your machine even if the setup does not prompt you to do so.
