Last week.
Nvidia releases drivers for cards that the drivers which ship with macos don't support. I would also guess that the nvidia drivers which ship with macos are written by nvidia under some agreement with apple, same is likely true of AMD and intel.
- waynecochran 8y agoYes, but you need to switch to an older version of of Xcode/ developers tools if you want to program CUDA on a Mac. Specifically I have to switch back to last Decembers release when I want to do any CUDA development on my 2015 MacBook (I don't think there is any later Mac's that even support nVidia).
- rockdoe 8y agoThat is not a macOS specific problem. Because CUDA interacts with the compiler, you can have exactly the same problems on Linux with gcc. (Ironically, using OpenCL avoids this problem)
