Module compilation failed on L20 and H20

I ran the SDK provided by OptiX on L20 and H20 GPUs and obtained the following results:

Ubuntu 22.04

If I use a higher version of OptiX, such as 8.1, the following error occurs:

NVIDIA-OptiX-SDK-8.1.0-linux64-x86_64/SDK/build$ bin/optixHello
Caught exception: OPTIX_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_ABI_VERSION: Optix call 'optixInit()' failed: /home/zhengyulong/models/gaussian-raytracing/NVIDIA-OptiX-SDK-8.1.0-linux64-x86_64/SDK/optixHello/optixHello.cpp:125)

I have tried various methods but still cannot resolve this issue.
Looking forward to your assistance. Thanks!

The error you are seeing when trying to use 8.1 is due to a too-old driver. 8.1 requires an 555+ driver.

Optix 7.7 should work with 12.1, but it has only been tested with 12.0.

Thank you. However, I tested OptiX 7.7 with CUDA 12.0 and still got the same results. Is it an issue with my driver version, or do L20 and H20 not support OptiX?

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing similar issues with module compilation failures on an H200 GPU, while the same setup works fine on an H100 GPU. Here are the details of the environment:

  • Driver Version: 570.86.15
  • CUDA Driver Version / Runtime Version: 12.8 / 12.1
  • Optix Versions tried: 8.0.0, 9.0.0

When building and running the OptiX SDK sample optixHello, it works fine on an H100, while I encounter the following error on the H200 (very similar to the one reported above):

user@worker:/home/user/optix/SDK/build/bin$ ./optixHello

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
