So, I successfully installed the CUDA and GPU toolkit for calculating SDKs on Mac Pro with OS X version 10.6.6. Examples of CUDA programs provided by the SDK, as well as some programs of my own work. However, when I run any of these CUDA programs through the NVIDIA Visual Profiler (the executable is called computeprof), I always get the following error when starting:
"Failed to initialize profiling in start / stop mode"
The NVIDIA documentation does not mention this error, and Google Googling displays one message on the NVIDIA forums, in which several people have encountered this problem recently (since October 2010), but there are no solutions.
All information about this error message is welcome.
