- CUDA Mac Driver Latest Version: CUDA 418.163 driver for MAC Release Date: Previous Releases: CUDA 418.105 driver for MAC Release Date: CUDA 410.130 driver for MAC.
- For CUDA developers who are on macOS 10.13, it is recommended to not upgrade to Mojave. Developers may not be able to use Xcode 10 to build GPU applications or run CUDA applications. Both macOS 10.13.6 and Xcode 9.4 support CUDA and work great with CUDA 10. NVIDIA is working with Apple to get Mojave to support CUDA.
NVIDIA® CUDA Toolkit 11.1 Update 1 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.
Cuda For Mac Nvidia Geforce
Once you have verified that you have a supported NVIDIA GPU, a supported version the MAC OS, and clang, you need to download the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit. The NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit is available at no cost from the main CUDA Downloads page. The installer is available in two formats: 1. NVIDIA just released its GPGPU technology i.e. The infrastructure for performing general purpose computing on its graphics cards, for Mac OS X. This technology is called “Compute Unified Device Architecture” or simply CUDA and it essentially provides a programmer with a C-compiler that creates executables that run on their GPUs. CUDA also includes some common optimized libraries like BLAS. CUDA Toolkit 9.0 Downloads. Select Target Platform. Click on the green buttons that describe your target platform. Only supported platforms will be shown. Operating System. Thank you for being an NVIDIA Developer 2,000,000 Strong, and Growing.
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 11.1 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:
- Create an installation directory
INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/cuda-gdb-darwin-11.1
mkdir $INSTALL_DIR
cd $INSTALL_DIR
- Download the cuda-gdb-darwin-11.1.105.tar.gz tar archive into
$INSTALL_DIR
above - Unpack the tar archive
tar fxvz cuda-gdb-darwin-11.1.105.tar.gz
- Add the bin directory to your path
PATH=$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

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.

- Download JDK 8.0.144 to get JRE update 151:
