NVIDIA® CUDA Toolkit 11.1 Update 1 no longer supports development or running applications on macOS. While there are no tools which use macOS as a target environment, NVIDIA is making macOS host versions of these tools that you can launch profiling and debugging sessions on supported target platforms.
Table 1 Mac Operating System Support in CUDA 6.0 Operating System Native x8664 GCC Clang Mac OS X 10.9.x YES 5.0, 4.2 Mac OS X 10.8.x YES 4.2.1 5.0 Before installing the CUDA Toolkit, you should read the Release Notes, as they provide important details on installation and software functionality. About This Document This document is. Improve Diablo 3 Performance in Mac OS X. Install Java (JRE) Mac OS 10.7 Lion Intel Xeon Phi. IPad inside Windows. This release of the CUDA Toolkit enables development using GPUs using the Kepler architecture, such as the GeForce GTX680.
You may download all these tools here. Note that the Nsight tools provide the ability to download these macOS host versions on their respective product pages.
Please visit each tool's overview page for more information about the tool and its supported target platforms.
The macOS host tools provided are:
- Nsight Systems - a system profiler and timeline trace tool supporting Pascal and newer GPUs
- Nsight Compute - a CUDA kernel profiler supporting Volta and new GPUs
- Visual Profiler - a CUDA kernel and system profiler and timeline trace tool supporting older GPUs (see installation instructions, below)
- cuda-gdb - a GPU and CPU CUDA application debugger (see installation instructions, below)

Instructions for installing cuda-gdb on the macOS
- This tar archive holds the distribution of the CUDA 11.1 Update 1 cuda-gdb cuda-gdb debugger front-end for macOS.
Native macOS debugging is not supported in this release. Remote debugging from a macOS host to other CUDA enabled targets, however, is supported.
Supported Mac platforms: macOS 10.13
- To install:
- Create an installation directory
INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/cuda-gdb-darwin-11.1
mkdir $INSTALL_DIR
cd $INSTALL_DIR
- Download the cuda-gdb-darwin-11.1.105.tar.gz tar archive into
$INSTALL_DIR
above - Unpack the tar archive
tar fxvz cuda-gdb-darwin-11.1.105.tar.gz
- Add the bin directory to your path
PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/bin:$PATH
- Run cuda-gdb --version to confirm you're picking up the correct binaries
cuda-gdb --version
- Download version: 8u144-b01 (Zulu: 8.23.0.3) .dmg.zip.tar.gz

Notes about JRE Requirements when using Visual Profiler on the macOS
- OpenJDK provides an open-source (and standards compliant) implementation of a Java compliant JVM.
Binaries are provided by various vendors such as Oracle, Azul Systems (Zulu), Amazon, Red Hat, IBM, etc.
- Visual Profiler needs to use an older version of Java, specifically JRE update 151, to work correctly.
This is currently not offered by Oracle JDK but is provided by Azul Systems (Zulu).
- The Bazel Build project also uses the Zulu builds of OpenJDK.
- Download JDK 8.0.144 to get JRE update 151:
