Issues with cryosparc2 compiled with cuda version 8

ok, next problem… running cryosparc compiled with cuda 8 actually is causing problems.

In running 2D classification, I get this error

Looks like there are flags incompatible with cuda8, i.e. sm_70?
Where are compiler options set for cuda libraries?
Thanks

I found a previous topic that addresses this:

However, I followed all the instructions to point cryosparc to the right cuda libraries, I check that the paths were correct, uninstalled pycuda and resinstalled with the appropriate paths, but still… same error.

config file in cryosparc2_worker/config.sh also points to cuda 8 libraries. So where is conflict? I can’t find it.

Hi @ekellogg,

This error arises when new GPU’s are used with older versions of CUDA.

Is there a way around this? I have other programmes which have CUDA 8 dependencies and so don’t want to install a later version.

(I am trying to use version 2.14.2 with CUDA8.0 and 3 2080Ti GPUs)

I get this

nvcc fatal : Value ‘sm_75’ is not defined for option ‘gpu-architecture’
