Hashcat NVRTC Error on AWS p2.16xlarge Instance with Nvidia Tesla K80
#1
Hello Everyone,
Before diving into the issue at hand, let me provide some context about my setup:
  • Cloud Platform: AWS
  • Instance Type: p2.16xlarge
  • Operating System: Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type (See attached image: config.png)
  • GPU: Nvidia Tesla K80 (16 GPUs)
  • Nvidia Driver: Version 470.199.02
  • CUDA Version: 11.4 (See attached image: my_drivers.png)
  • Hashcat Version: 6.2.4 (See attached image: output.png)

After considerable effort, I successfully installed both the Nvidia driver and the CUDA toolkit. However, I've been unable to get Hashcat to run properly on this setup. Despite multiple reboots and re-installations of the CUDA toolkit—both manually and via
apt
—I consistently encounter the following error:
Code:
hashcat nvrtc: error: invalid value for --gpu-architecture (-arch)


I also attempted to use an older version of Hashcat (6.2.3) but faced the same issue (See attached image:error.png ).
So far, I've tried various fixes, including:
  • Running apt remove libnvrtc*
  • Manually uninstalling all Nvidia drivers and reinstalling CUDA directly using the .run file

Unfortunately, none of these solutions have resolved the issue.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions you may have. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
