Mac installation

[Kubiczek36]

Hey hey,
I am trying to install this package on mac to run it just on CPU. However I don't know which NVIDIA toolkit should I install, so that I can compile the Gpufit using cmake.

• [ ] Is there any option (flag) how to compile without the CUDA toolkit?
• [ ] Eventually, can you help me choose the right NVIDIA toolkit?

Here is the error cmake gives me:

CMake Error at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cmake/3.26.3/share/cmake/Modules/FindCUDA.cmake:861 (message):
  Specify CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:37 (find_package)

Thank you in advance.

hi Jakub. You should be able to use any of CUDA toolkit 8.0 - 11.3. I'm assuming you don't have an Nvidia graphics driver on your Mac, so there should be no compatibility issue there. I haven't tried building on a machine with no GPU, personally.

If you run into trouble get in touch with me directly. cheers -Mark

If anyone else searches for this, I'm posting mac binaries on my fork
https://github.com/ironictoo/Gpufit/releases/tag/v1.4.1
These of course are CPU only since mac walked away from nvidia years ago. My binaries don't include a lot of the default models, but my fork will easily build on macs now, so you can add in whatever models you want and compile yourself. I modified the build process so CUDA is optional and selectable with CMake, so you can just unclick the box and it will build.
