1. NVIDIA CUDA Installation Guide for Mac OS X DU-05348-001v11.0 2 1.2. About This Document This document is intended for readers familiar with the Mac OS X environment and the compilation of C programs from the command line. You do not need previous experience with CUDA or experience with parallel computation.
2. General CUDA driver update to support macOS 10.12 and NVIDIA display driver 378.05.05.25f01; Recommended CUDA version(s): CUDA 8.0; Supported MAC OS X. 10.12.x; 10.11.x; An alternative method to download the latest CUDA driver is within Mac OS environment. Access the latest driver through System Preferences Other CUDA. Click 'Install CUDA.

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, only remote debugging to other CUDA enabled targets.

To install:
1. Create an installation directory
   INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/cuda-gdb-darwin-11.0
   mkdir $INSTALL_DIR
   cd $INSTALL_DIR
   
2. Download the cuda-gdb-darwin-11.0.tar.gz tar archive into $INSTALL_DIR above
3. Unpack the tar archive
   tar fxvz cuda-gdb-darwin-11.0.tar.gz
4. Add the bin directory to your path
   PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/bin:$PATH
5. Run cuda-gdb --version to confirm you're picking up the correct binaries
   cuda-gdb --version

You should see the following output:

Instructions for installing cuda-gdb on the macOS

This tar archive holds the distribution of the CUDA 11.1 Update 1 cuda-gdb 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.
Supported Mac platforms: macOS 10.13
To install:
1. Create an installation directory
   INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/cuda-gdb-darwin-11.1
mkdir $INSTALL_DIR
cd $INSTALL_DIR
   
2. Download the cuda-gdb-darwin-11.1.105.tar.gz tar archive into $INSTALL_DIR above
3. Unpack the tar archive
   tar fxvz cuda-gdb-darwin-11.1.105.tar.gz
4. Add the bin directory to your path
   PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/bin:$PATH
5. Run cuda-gdb --version to confirm you're picking up the correct binaries
   cuda-gdb --version

You should see the following output:

NVIDIA (R) CUDA Debugger
11.1 release

Steps to install:
1. Double click .dmg file to mount it and access it in finder.
2. Drag nvvp folder and drop it to any location you want (say <nvvp_mac>).
   Directory Structure:
   |--nvvp
   |--bin/
   |--lib64/
   |--libnvvp/
3. Download and install the required version of JDK.
   (Refer to the Notes about JRE Requirements when using Visual Profiler on the macOS section, below)
Steps to run:
1. Open terminal.
2. Change to the bin folder
   > cd <nvvp_mac>/nvvp/bin
3. Run nvvp script file in command line
   > ./nvvp -vm <path_to_java>
   <path_to_java> should point to the JRE update 151 version of Java (See Notes about JRE Requirements, below).
   
   For example:
   > ./nvvp -vm /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-8.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin/java

Cuda Driver For Mac Os 10.14

Summary of supported features:
1. Remote profiling
2. Import nvprof output files
Refer the 'Visual Profiler' section in the 'Profiler User's Guide'

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).

Cuda For Mac Os Mojave

The Bazel Build project also uses the Zulu builds of OpenJDK.

Download JDK 8.0.144 to get JRE update 151:
• 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
