Correct version of cuda.jl for Quadro K4200

Specific Domains GPU
1

I’d like to learn how to use gpu computing with my pc, runs on ubuntu linux and has a Quadro K4200 gpu which only has a compute capability of 3.0. What version of cuda.jl should I be trying to install that will work with this? I do have nvidia’s cuda drivers version 10.1 installed already. Thx. J

CUDA.jl v1.3.0 is the last version to officially support CUDA 9.0 and higher.

Thank for that. I tried to install CUDA.jl version 1.3.0 into Julia 1.6 and got this error.

(@v1.6) pkg> add CUDA@1.3.0

I’ve googled and not found a solution, any thoughts? Thx.

You generally cannot use older versions of the package with recent versions of Julia, because of the tight integration between CUDA.jl and the Julia compiler.

So would I need to load a copy of Julia v1.3.0 and then install cuda into that to use my gpu? Thx. again.

1.3-1.5 should work, according to the CI runs on that version.
