Could I install Caffe framework on my laptop? - caffe

My graphics card
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV620/M82 [Mobility Radeon HD 3410/3430] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 30e9
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 33
Memory at 80000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
I/O ports at 7000 [size=256]

Expansion ROM at 98420000 [disabled] [size=128K]

Kernel driver in use: radeon
So i do not have NVIDIA card,does this mean I can not install it?

No, it does not. You can install it with CPU_ONLY=ON variable in cmake. Of course, CUDA will be unavailable for you, but you still can use caffe on CPU.
Moreover, you can try to checkout opencl caffe branch to utilize your AMD hardware (but I didn't try it yet).

Autolykos GPU Miner software no longer recognizing NVIDIA GPU on Ubuntu 18.04

A month or so ago, Autolykos miner (https://github.com/ergoplatform/Autolykos-GPU-miner) compiled and ran. Now suddenly it doesn't work because the .cu files don't recognize any installed NVIDIA GPU. I made NO changes to the Autolykos code--it just stopped working. I merely dropped into the source folder (as described by the README) and typed make. But when I install and make all of the CUDA examples, THOSE run just fine. Running on UBUNTU 18.04 with a GeForce TITAN X. For example, the utility "deviceQuery" returns the following:
./deviceQuery Starting...
CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)
Detected 1 CUDA Capable device(s)
Device 0: "GeForce GTX TITAN X"
CUDA Driver Version / Runtime Version 10.1 / 10.1
CUDA Capability Major/Minor version number: 5.2
...
Whereas the output at startup of the mining binary spits out ONE line and quits:
Error Checking GPU: Using 0 GPU devices
Any suggestions would be welcome...
SOLVED: After re-compiling the CUDA code from NVIDIA, the miner is working. I suspect that a system update broke something

Ethminer Ubuntu 16 not using NVIDIA GPU

I have followed instructions here and successfully build and setup geth.
Ethminer seems to work except it doesn't use the Titan X GPU and the mining rate is only 341022 H/s.
Also when I try to use the -G option ethminer says it is an invalid argument; the -G flag also doesn't appear in the ethminer help command.
Your GPU must have a minimum memory to perform mining. Upgrade to GPU you with higher memories (minimum 4GB is preferable)
The current DAG size is above (2GB). That means you cant mine with GPU with memory less than 2GB.

CUDA Installation for NVidia Quadro FX 3800

I'm having trouble installing CUDA 7.0 (to use with TensorFlow) on a workstation with the Nvidia Quadro FX 3800. I'm wondering if this is because the GPU is no longer supported.
Installation of the driver (340.96) seems to work fine:
$ sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96.run
Installation of the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64
(version: 340.96) is now complete. Please update your XF86Config or
xorg.conf file as appropriate; see the file
/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README.txt for details.
However, I think I may be having trouble with the following:
$ ./cuda_7.0.28_linux.run --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-76-generic
The driver installation is unable to locate the kernel source. Please make sure
that the kernel source packages are installed and set up correctly. If you know
that the kernel source packages are installed and set up correctly, you may pass
the location of the kernel source with the '--kernel-source-path' flag.

Is the installation failure due to CUDA dropping support for this graphics card?
I followed the link trail: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus > https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-legacy-gpus > http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_3800_us.html and I would have thought the Quadro FX 3800 supported CUDA (at least at the beginning).
Yes, the Quadro FX 3800 GPU is no longer supported by CUDA 7.0 and beyond.
The last CUDA version that supported that GPU was CUDA 6.5.
This answer and this answer may be of interest. Your QFX 3800 is a compute capability 1.3 device.
If you review the release notes that come with CUDA 7, you will find a notice of the elimination of support for these earlier GPUs. Likewise, the newer CUDA driver versions also don't support those GPUs.

cuda-gdb run error:"Failed to read the valid warps mask(dev=0,sm=0,error=16)" [duplicate]

I tried to debug my CUDA application with cuda-gdb but got some weird error.
I set option -g -G -O0 to build my application. I could run my program without cuda-gdb, but didn't get correct result. Hence I decided to use cuda-gdb, however, I got following error message while running program with cuda-gdb
Error: Failed to read the valid warps mask (dev=1, sm=0, error=16).
What does it means? Why sm=0 and what's the meaning of error=16?
Update 1: I tried to use cuda-gdb to CUDA samples, but it fails with same problem. I just installed CUDA 6.0 Toolkit followed by instruction of NVIDIA. Is it a problem of my system?
Update 2:
OS - CentOS 6.5
GPU
1 Quadro 400
2 Tesla C2070
I'm using only 1 GPU for my program, but I've got same bug message from any GPU that I selected

Update 3:
I tried to get more information in cuda-gdb, but I got following results
(cuda-gdb) info cuda devices
Error: Failed to read the valid warps mask (dev=1, sm=0, error=16).
(cuda-gdb) info cuda sms

No CUDA kernels.
(cuda-gdb) info cuda contexts
No CUDA contexts.
Actually, this issue is only specific to some old NVIDIA GPUs(like "Quadro 400", "GeForce GT220", or "GeForce GT 330M", etc).
On Liam Kim's setup, cuda-gdb should work fine by set environment variable "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES", and let cuda-gdb running on Tesla C2070 GPUs specifically.
I.e
$export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 (or 2)
- the exact CUDA devices index could be found by running cuda sample - "deviceQuery".
And now, this issue has been fixed, the fix would be availble for CUDA developers in the next CUDA release(it will be posted out around early July, 2014).
This is internal cuda-gdb bug. You should report a bug.
Can you try installing CUDA toolkit from the package on NVIDIA site?

Cuda compilation tools, release 3.2, V0.2.1221

and when i try to make sdk samples i get second problem:

nvcc fatal : Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_20'
i've tried to edit common.mk, but i don't know what exactly i should edit
Thanks for help
Verify if you have a /dev/nvidia0. If you do not, you may need to restart your X.
I don't see the error where it says you have no CUDA devices.
In answer to your second question:
GeForce GTS 250 supports CUDA 1.1 not 2.0. You need to edit the compilation flags to replace compute_20 with compute_11.
As I had the same problem, the only solution that worked for me was to reinstall the driver. Notice that the driver is not included in the SDK.
