Run Basement simulation with virtual machine

Hello everyone,

i'm trying to run simulation (Basement v 3.2.0) from my laptop with a virtual machine; in particular VMware Horizon.
Both my computer and the virtual machine have windows 11 pro installed.

The simulation set-up is:  "GPU, single-threaded on CPU" and the error message was "N:\externalLibs\OP2\op2\c\src\cuda\op_cuda_rt_support.c(313) : cutilSafeCall() Runtime API error : CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version".

First of all I tried to install the updated cuda drivers but the problem is still there.
The GPU card is: NVIDIA grid p4-4q.

There are any solutions of that problem? Is it possible to run simulation via virtual machine using GPU card?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Giovanni
I think that the guest OS does not "see" the GPU card from the hosting computer.
Did you map correctly the GPU to your VM?

Hi Matteo

Thank you for your prompt reply.

The GPU is correctly mapped on my VM.
I can see it when the relative control panel is opened and i can monitored its activity into the task manager of my VM.

We tried to do several things:
   > install old driver Cuda supported by the GPU card;
   > install old driver Cuda and old operative system (windows 10);

but the problem has not been solved.

Could it be that the GPU card installed (NVIDIA grid p4-4q) is not compatible with the software Basement because it is a virtual GPU?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Run Basement simulation with virtual machine

Hi Giovanni

may I ask for the reason why you're running BASEMENT on a virtual machine instead of directly on your machine? I'd expect some major performance losses from this, no? Or are there any advantages of doing so?

In order to check compatibility with your graphics card I'd suggest you try to run the model directly on your machine instead of the VM.

Best, Sam
