CUDA applications hanging

This may be related to the pinned ‘Known Limitations’ thread, but I just wanted to report that CUDA applications appear to be hanging on my machine with an Intel Core i7-8850H CPU @ 2.60GHz with an NVIDIA GeForce MX130.

CUDA Applications in WSL 2 seem to detect the GPU properly, but hang, maxing out one of the logical processors in htop and showing nothing on the GPU in windows except for sometimes a small blip in Compute_0 at the start and a big spike when I kill it.

Thanks a lot for reaching out !

Your hang seems related to the initialization issue we have just fixed in this driver: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda/wsl/download (455.41)

Also most of the impacted systems were AMD Ryzen, we found that you could run into the same issue elsewhere (also these platforms are less common).

Let us know how it goes with the new driver. Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for reporting the issue with good details.
We just posted another driver with a good set of fixes. Would you mind to give it a try?

It works! Thanks for the prompt response and active development! Exciting stuff!
