Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

Hi all !

I am a new with cuda, i have a GeForce 6200 card (with opensuse10.2).
I installed the driver NVIDIA_CUDA_NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.09-pkg2.run
and
Toolkit_1.1_Suse10.2_x86_64.run
NVIDIA_CUDA_SDK_1.1_Linux.run

  • when I run any example, I get:
    There is no device supporting CUDA.

  • and deviceQuery gives:
    There is no device supporting CUDA.

Device 0: “Device Emulation (CPU)”

Test PASSED

Press ENTER to exit…

so, if anyone has an idea ;) ! (my global memory set to 0 is at least one problem i guess …)
thanks

Probably, you just need to do a reboot.

Are you sure your video card is recognized by the kernel? CHeck “dmesg” output to see if NVIDIA card is detected.

btw, Are you sure GEforce 6200 is CUDA capable? I have no idea. But please do a check

You need GeForce8-ased card, i.e. GeForce 8xxx.

CUDA won’t work on 6200.

you are right, with my card i only can need use the emulation mode …
so i compiled with the option emu=1 and it s running !

thanks
