Hello,
I am trying to get the latest binaries of NAMD (2014-08-22) for Windows-64
with CUDA to run on my laptop running Windows 8.1. When I started to run a
simulation under VEGA ZZ, it gave me the following error:
FATAL ERROR: CUDA error on Pe 2 (Kaori device 0): All CUDA devices are in
prohibited mode, of compute capability 1.0, unable to map host memory, too
small, or otherwise unusable.
I checked the drivers and they are up to date. I ran samples from the most
recent CUDA toolkit (v 6.5) that I installed. The GPU was available and
communicating with the computer. But when tried to run the sample program,
it failed. I discovered that in my laptop, I had to set for programs to
have access to the GPU. After adjusting the setting, the sample program
worked. But NAMD still gives me the same error.
I was reading in the manual about ld_library_path variable. Is this part of
the problem? And if so, how would I go about setting it in Windows 8.1? I
have set environment variables in WinXP and IRIX before but not in 8.1.
Thank you.
Justin
