cudalink - Are you able to use CUDA on Linux?


I am using Mathematica 10.2 on Ubuntu 15.04 x64. At first, I try to use CUDALink:


Needs["CUDALink`"];

CUDAQ[]

It returns False.


The reason why it returns False is that the default paths for NVidia Driver and CUDA are



/usr/lib64/libnvidia-tls.so 

and


/usr/lib64/libcuda.so

But these two libraries on my system are located at


/usr/lib/nvidia-346/libnvidia-tls.so.346.59

and


/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcuda.so


According to the documentation provided by Mathematica, to resolve this issue I have to set the system environment for NVIDIA_DRIVER_LIBRARY_PATH and CUDA_LIBRARY_PATH.


So, I export these two variables and run Mathematica on a terminal:


$ export NVIDIA_DRIVER_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32/nvidia-346/libnvidia-tls.so.346.59

$ export CUDA_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcuda.so

$ mathematica

and try to use CUDALink again. This time, CUDAQ[] does not return False. Instead, all functions are colored blue (The same effect as calling Exit[]). The kernel may crash but there are no information about it.



My graphics card is NVidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti, so it should have already support CUDA.


I also tested CUDALink on another PC (Ubuntu 14.04 x64, Mathematica 10.0, NVidia Geforce GTX980), and I got the same issue.


Are you able to use CUDALink on Linux?



Answer



Finally I got a solution. The libcuda.so which is originally from Ubuntu cannot be used.


I follow this instructions to install CUDA and it works!

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
