If you have nVidia display card that have several CUDAs on it, you will interested in this tutorial. This time, I would like to show you how to install CUDA 4.0 RC on Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop.
You will experience a faster desktop after the installation of CUDA 4.0. Meanwhile, if you installed SMPlayer, you can playback 1080p videos with the help of vdpau.
Step 1 :
Add the CUDA 4.0 PPA.
Step 2 :
64-bit :
32-bit :
Step 2a :
If you do not have any nVidia driver installed before, you need to do the following command. Otherwise, this step is not required at all.
Step 3 :
Reboot your system.
Step 4 (Optional) :
To install SMPlayer.
Then set it to use "
Known issue
Sample codes cannot be compiled successful due to newer C compiler. However, you can download the sample programs which are compiled with C compiler of Ubuntu 10.10. The compiled sample programs are in 64-bit.
That's all! See you.
