I hoped to get this up and running. Hopefully I’m doing something else wrong other than using an out-of-date laptop.
I’m on a Lenovo T540p which has a GeForce GT 730M and a whopping 384 CUDA cores. I’m on Windows 10 Pro 1909.
I downloaded and installed cuda_10.2.89_441.22_win10.exe. I built and ran nbody in Visual Studio 2017, and it gave the message, “Error: only 0 Devices available, 1 requested. Exiting.”
I downloaded and installed the latest driver (425.31) and received the same result.
A little poking around the nbody code revealed that on line 1107, cudaGetDeviceCount(&numDevsAvailable); failed with a cudaErrorInsufficientDriver error.
According to driver_types.h, cudaErrorInsufficientDriver indicates “that the installed NVIDIA CUDA driver is older than the CUDA runtime library. This is not a supported configuration. Users should install an updated NVIDIA display driver to allow the application to run.”
Is there something else I can try to get this up and running? Or is this laptop just not able to run CUDA 10?
