Dear Paul,
> I've been trying to run eddy on a GPU so that I may perform slice-to-volume correction. I'm working on NITRC's computing environment using an Amazon Web Services (AWS) g3.4xlarge instance (supports CUDA 8.0) and running the following from the command line:

I am afraid I am equally stumped by that message. The message comes from this, very simple, bit of code
void EddyGpuUtils::InitGpu(bool verbose) EddyTry
{
static bool initialized=false;
if (!initialized) {
initialized=true;
int device;
cudaError_t ce;
if ((ce = cudaGetDevice(&device)) != cudaSuccess) {
if (ce == cudaErrorInvalidValue) throw EddyException("EddyGpuUtils::InitGpu: cudeGetDevice returned an error code cudaErrorInvalidValue");
else throw EddyException("EddyGpuUtils::InitGpu: cudeGetDevice returned an unknown error code");
}
if (verbose) printf("\n...................Allocated GPU # %d...................\n", device);
int *q;
if ((ce = cudaMalloc((void **)&q, sizeof(int))) != cudaSuccess) {
throw EddyException("EddyGpuUtils::InitGpu: cudeMalloc returned an error when trying to allocate device memory");
}
cudaFree(q);
EddyKernels::CudaSync("EddyGpuUtils::InitGpu");
}
} EddyCatch
This routine is called by eddy before attempting to use a GPU. It just ensures that there is a GPU available for it, and also attempts to allocate a tiny snippet of on-chip memory to check that that works. It is particularly vexing that it returns an error code that is not cudaErrorInvalidValue, since my understanding is that it is the only possible error code from cudaGetDevice.
I have seen this error a few times myself, and I have always been able to resolve it by re-booting the GPU. But that is clearly not an option if your are using Amazon services.
Maybe someone who reads this has more experience of CUDA programming and can suggest something?
