RuntimeError: CUDA error: No kernel image available for execution on the device

 RuntimeError: CUDA error: No kernel image available for execution on the device. CUDA kernel errors may be reported asynchronously in another API call, so the stack trace below may be incorrect. For debugging, consider passing CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1. Compile with TORCH_USE_CUDA_DSA to enable device-side assertions. 

Troubleshooting: "RuntimeError: CUDA error: No kernel image available for execution on the device" 

This error message indicates a problem with your CUDA setup, specifically that the CUDA driver on your system is incompatible with the CUDA toolkit version that PyTorch (or another CUDA-enabled library) was compiled against. It's a common issue, especially after driver updates or when using different versions of CUDA and PyTorch. Here's a breakdown of potential causes and solutions: 

1. CUDA Driver and Toolkit Version Mismatch: 

  • Problem: The most frequent cause. Your NVIDIA driver is either too old or too new for the CUDA toolkit version that PyTorch expects. 

  • Solution: 

  • Check CUDA Version: Determine the CUDA version PyTorch was built with. You can find this information on the PyTorch website (https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/). Look for the "CUDA" version in the installation command. 

  • Check Driver Version: Find your current NVIDIA driver version. 

  • Windows: Open NVIDIA Control Panel > System Information. 

  • Linux: nvidia-smi (in the terminal) 

  • Update/Downgrade Driver: 

  • If Driver is Too Old: Update your NVIDIA driver to a version compatible with the CUDA toolkit PyTorch requires. Download the latest driver from the NVIDIA website: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx 

  • If Driver is Too New: This is trickier. Sometimes, downgrading the driver is necessary. However, this can be complex and may cause issues with other applications. Consider creating a virtual machine with an older driver. 

2. Incorrect PyTorch Installation: 

  • Problem: You might have installed a PyTorch version that wasn't compiled with the correct CUDA support. 

  • Solution: 

  • Reinstall PyTorch: Carefully reinstall PyTorch, ensuring you specify the correct CUDA version during installation. Use the command from the PyTorch website (https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/). For example: 

 


pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

-

  • (Replace cu118 with the appropriate CUDA version.) 

3. CUDA Toolkit Not Installed or Incorrectly Configured: 

  • Problem: The CUDA toolkit itself might not be installed, or it's not properly configured in your system's PATH. 

  • Solution: 

  • Set Environment Variables: Ensure the CUDA toolkit's bin and libnvvp directories are added to your system's PATH environment variable. 

4. Device-Side Assertions (Debugging): 

  • Problem: The error message suggests enabling device-side assertions for debugging. 

  • Solution: 

  • Compile with TORCH_USE_CUDA_DSA: This is more relevant if you're building PyTorch from source. It adds runtime checks to help identify issues. It's unlikely to be the solution if you're using a pre-built PyTorch package. 

5. Blocking Launch (Debugging): 

  • Problem: The error message suggests setting CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1. 

  • Solution: 

  • Set Environment Variable: Set the CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING environment variable to 1 before running your code. This forces CUDA to execute kernels synchronously, which can help pinpoint the source of the error. 

  • Linux/macOS: export CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 

  • Windows: set CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 

6. Insufficient GPU Memory: 

  • Problem: Although less common with this specific error message, insufficient GPU memory can sometimes manifest in similar ways. 

  • Solution: 

  • Reduce Batch Size: If you're training a model, try reducing the batch size. 

  • Free GPU Memory: Close other applications that are using the GPU. 

Troubleshooting Steps: 

  1. Restart Your Computer: A simple restart can sometimes resolve temporary issues. 

  1. Check PyTorch CUDA Availability: In a Python interpreter, run: 

 


import torch
print(torch.cuda.is_available())
print(torch.cuda.get_device_name(0))

-
  • If torch.cuda.is_available() returns False, PyTorch isn't detecting your GPU. 

  • Simplify Your Code: Try running a very simple CUDA-enabled PyTorch program to isolate the problem. 

  • Search Online: Search for the exact error message and your specific CUDA/PyTorch versions online. 

  • To help me provide more specific advice, please tell me: 

  • Your operating system: (Windows, Linux, macOS) 

  • Your NVIDIA driver version: (e.g., 535.104.05) 

  • Your CUDA toolkit version: (if installed) 

  • Your PyTorch version: (e.g., 2.0.1) 

  • How you installed PyTorch: (pip, conda, from source) 

  • The code snippet that's causing the error: (if possible)
