CUDA-Z is GPU tool like GPU-Z or GPU Caps Viewer that gives you information about your GPU(s). And as its name says it, CUDA-Z is focused on NVIDIA CUDA GPU computing API. NVIDIA CUDA being available under Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, CUDA-Z is also available under the three operating systems thanks. Check you have a CUDA GPU card with CUDA Compute Capability 3.0 or higher. First, you need to know your video card. Go to 'About This Mac,' and get from there: In my case, it is NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M. Then you need to see if the card is supported by CUDA by finding you card here. As far as CUDA 6.0+ supports only Mac OSX 10.8 and later the new version of CUDA-Z is not able to run under Mac OSX 10.6. For those who runs earlier versions on their Mac's it's recommended to use CUDA-Z 0.6.163 instead. Please note that CUDA-Z for Mac OSX is in bata stage now and is. General CUDA driver update to support macOS 10.12 and NVIDIA display driver 378.05.05.25f01; Recommended CUDA version(s): CUDA 8.0; Supported MAC OS X. 10.12.x; 10.11.x; An alternative method to download the latest CUDA driver is within Mac OS environment. Access the latest driver through System Preferences Other CUDA. Click 'Install CUDA. In the past I would have stopped there but with the increasing number of external GPU and a NVIDIA CUDA Installation Guide for Mac OS X I'm wondering if there might be a path forward. I'd be very interested to hear about experiences with external GPU with NVIDIA graphics cards and using the CUDA toolkit on a Mac.

This blog post describes how to install the CUDA Toolkit (i.e., thedevelopment tools, including shared libraries, the compiler, thenvidia visual profiler, the handytools/CUDA_Occupancy_Calculator.xls, and so on) on a Mac without anNVIDIA GPU.
Macs with an NVIDIA GPU are now a dying species, with the latestMacbook Pros having switched to AMD discrete graphics cards for thepast few years. This means that even if you install the CUDAdevelopment tools, you probably won't be able to execute any CUDAcode.
However, there are a few reasons why this is useful:
Development of code without having to access a remote machine. Ibasically work exclusively through an ssh connection to a linuxmachine from a mac laptop for my day-to-day work.
Use of CUDA's GUI tools without suffering the lag of a remoteconnection. In particular, the NVIDIA Visual Profiler allows you toload the output of nvprof for analysis, allowing you to profile on aremote machine, but analyze locally. This is the number one reasonwhy I figured out how to do this.
For example, you can dump statistics like this with nvprof:
scp it to your local machine, then open it with
nvvp warp-ctc.nvprof
. Thanks to this blog post for telling me about this.
Installation Steps
Download one of the disk images fromthe install site. Openit up. This will mount it under the directory /Volumes.
Cuda Z For Mac Osx

Then do:
Once it is done, your installation should sit in /Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA-*.*/
.
Cuda For Mac Catalina
To be clear here,specifically you are installing only the 'toolkit',which doesn't contain the drivers. Hopefully this dispells the myththat you need an NVIDIA GPU to even have the CUDA developmentlibraries on a Mac.
