CUDA® is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by NVIDIA for general computing on graphical processing units (GPUs). With CUDA, developers are able to dramatically speed up computing applications by harnessing the power of GPUs. In GPU-accelerated applications, the sequential part of the workload runs on the CPU – which is optimized for single-threaded. CUDA Application Support: In order to run macOS Applications that leverage the CUDA architecture of certain NVIDIA graphics cards, users will need to download and install the driver for Mac.
- Create a backup of your boot volume. For more information, see Back up your Mac with Time Machine.
- Identify your NVIDIA GPU make and model before downloading the appropriate driver.
Note:
mac0S 10.14 (Mojave) and later does not currently support CUDA so do not upgrade beyond macOS 10.13.6 if CUDA support is required.

Reboot your machine when installation is complete, even if the setup does not prompt you to do so.
After the display driver is updated, use download the qualified CUDA installer DMG from this location.
Open the downloaded DMG and double click the CUDADriver.pkg file to begin installation.
When installation completes, reboot your machine even if the setup does not prompt you to do so.
