Step 2: Make sure your machine supports CUDA
The following machines support CUDA
NVIDIA GeForce 8, 9,200,400, and 500 series GPUs
NVIDIA TeslaTM computing solutions
Category of the NVIDIA Quadro products
Run the command to bring up the dialog box:
$ Nvidia-settings
NOTE: If your machine does not display a dialog box similar to the preceding one after running the nvidia-settings command, it means that you have not correctly installed the nvidia driver. See my article Ubuntu 11.10 ultimate solution for nvidia graphics Driver Installation: http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2012-04/58914.htm
Step 2: Install CUDA Toolkit
Download to the address below: http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit
1) cudatoolkit_4.1.28_linux_64_ubuntu11.04.run
And
2) gpucomputingsdk_4.1.28_linux.run
Go to the directory of cudatoolkit_4.1.28_linux_64_ubuntu11.04.run and run the following command to install Toolkit:
$ Sudo sh./cudatoolkit_4.1.28_linux_64_ubuntu11.04.run
By default. Prompt that the installation is complete, set the environment variables, and execute the following two commands:
$ Export PATH =/usr/local/cuda/bin: $ PATH
$ ExportLD_LIBRARY_PATH =/usr/local/cuda/lib: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH
In particular, if it is a 64-bit system, you need to add one more sentence:
$ ExportLD_LIBRARY_PATH =/usr/local/cuda/lib64: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Of course, we can write the above command ~ /. In bashrc, environment variables are automatically added when the system starts.
$ Gedit ~ /. Bashrc
Add the following three sentences ~ /. Save the last part of bashrc and log out again.
Export PATH =/usr/local/cuda/bin: $ PATH
Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH =/usr/local/cuda/lib: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ExportLD_LIBRARY_PATH =/usr/local/cuda/lib64: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Verify installation:
Run $ nvcc-V to obtain the CUDAToolkit version to verify whether the installation is successful.
Nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cudacompiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2011 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Thu_Jan_12_14: 41: 45_PST_2012
Cuda compilation tools, release 4.1, V0.2.1221
Step 2: Install the GPU Computing SDK
For future development convenience, the SDK should not be installed as a root user. Run
$ Sh./cuda_installation/gpucomputingsdk_4.0.17_linux.run
Follow the prompts to complete the installation. Installed in the current user's Home by default.
