OMEGA ERROR: CUDA device not found! !
Hi, I followed all the instruction . Then I got a message from Houdini Console said OMEGA ERROR: CUDA device not found! ! nvFlex is not loaded.
What did I do wrong ?
I heard from a couple of people with the same error.
the error is caused by
NvFlexDeviceGetSuggestedOrdinal ()
from NvFlexDevice.h
for some reason it states that there's no CUDA device available, even though other CUDA applications seem to be working on that system
The problem has to be somewhere in the system, but i'm not sure where: old drivers? wrong cudart dll linking? i don't have access to a system with this bug, so i cannot debug it...
Maybe someone has experience with such flex/CUDA error?
P/S you can run deviceQuerry.exe (windows) (part of cuda toolkit) from the console and see the information it provides: like does you device support CUDA 8.0 or higher, just to be sure
if you are sure u have nvidia GPU that supports cuda with CC 3 or more, and you have the latest graphics drivers - you can try launching from wip branch, some launch issues were fixed there: https://github.com/pedohorse/Houdini-NvFlex/tree/work-in-progress/x64
Yep I get the same using the wip branch.
FlexDevice: No Cuda device found ! OMEGA ERROR: Failed to initialize Cuda Context ! nvFlex is not loaded!
Below is a dump from deviceQuerry.exe. I haven't updated my drivers for a while so I will go and do that now and report back if it fixes the problem.
