Summary: In this article, we help you to learn How To Completely Uninstall Nvidia CUDA driver on Mac by using our best Nvidia CUDA Uninstaller software - Omni Remover. Make sure you have downloaded the latest version here before continuing.
What Is Nvidia CUDA Software? CUDA is a parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) model created by Nvidia. Nvidia CUDA allows software developers and software engineers to use a CUDA-enabled graphics processing unit (GPU) for general purpose processing. The CUDA platform is a software layer that gives direct access to the GPU's virtual instruction set and parallel computational elements, for the execution of compute kernels (How To Uninstall VMware Fusion 11 on Mac).
Why uninstalling Nvidia CUDA Music Making Software on Mac? Users using Macs with NVIDIA graphics cards recently are reporting that after upgrading from macOS 10.13 to 10.14 (Mojave) they are experiencing rendering regressions and slow performance. Apple has officially announced the incompatibility with NVIDIA CUDA in macOS 10.14 (Mojave) so if you have upgraded your macOS, then it's suggested to remove NVIDIA CUDA driver before it gets fully supported (How To Uninstall VirtualBox on Mac).

A more recent release is available see the CUDA Toolkit and GPU Computing SDK home page
For older releases, see theCUDA Toolkit Release Archive
Release Highlights
- Support for the new Fermi architecture, with:
- Native 64-bit GPU support
- Multiple Copy Engine support
- ECC reporting
- Concurrent Kernel Execution
- Fermi HW debugging support in cuda-gdb
- Fermi HW profiling support for CUDA C and OpenCL in Visual Profiler
- C++ Class Inheritance and Template Inheritance support for increased programmer productivity
- A new unified interoperability API for Direct3D and OpenGL, with support for:
- OpenGL texture interop
- Direct3D 11 interop support
- CUDA Driver / Runtime Buffer Interoperability, which allows applications using the CUDA Driver API to also use libraries implemented using the CUDA C Runtime such as CUFFT and CUBLAS.
- CUBLAS now supports all BLAS1, 2, and 3 routines including those for single and double precision complex numbers
- Up to 100x performance improvement while debugging applications with cuda-gdb
- cuda-gdb hardware debugging support for applications that use the CUDA Driver API
- cuda-gdb support for JIT-compiled kernels
- New CUDA Memory Checker reports misalignment and out of bounds errors, available as a stand-alone utility and debugging mode within cuda-gdb
- CUDA Toolkit libraries are now versioned, enabling applications to require a specific version, support multiple versions explicitly, etc.
- CUDA C/C++ kernels are now compiled to standard ELF format
- Support for device emulation mode has been packaged in a separate version of the CUDA C Runtime (CUDART), and is deprecated in this release. Now that more sophisticated hardware debugging tools are available and more are on the way, NVIDIA will be focusing on supporting these tools instead of the legacy device emulation functionality.
- On Windows, use the new Parallel Nsight development environment for Visual Studio, with integrated GPU debugging and profiling tools (was code-named 'Nexus'). Please seewww.nvidia.com/nsightfor details.
- On Linux, use cuda-gdb and cuda-memcheck, and check out the solutions from Allinea and TotalView that will be available soon.
- Support for all the OpenCL features in the latest R195 production driver package:
- Double Precision
- Graphics Interoperability with OpenCL, Direc3D9, Direct3D10, and Direct3D11 for high performance visualization
- Query for Compute Capability, so you can target optimizations for GPU architectures (cl_nv_device_attribute_query)
- Ability to control compiler optimization settings via support for pragma unroll in OpenCL kernels and an extension that allows programmers to set compiler flags. (cl_nv_compiler_options)
- OpenCL Images support, for better/faster image filtering
- 32-bit global and local atomics for fast, convenient data manipulation
- Byte Addressable Stores, for faster video/image processing and compression algorithms
- Support for the latest OpenCL spec revision 1.0.48 and latest official Khronos OpenCL headers as of 2010-02-17
Note: The developer driver packages below provide baseline support for the widest number of NVIDIA products in the smallest number of installers. More recent production driver packages for developers and end users may be available atwww.nvidia.com/drivers.
