This is using the CUDA 10.1 toolkit. Maybe the initialization flags have changed?
The issue is that there are new error codes. The values for cuResult are sparse and if the error is one that's not defined in cu/result.go, but less than 999, CUDA_ERROR_UNKNOWN, then cuResult.String() returns an empty string.
I tweaked cu/result.go to include the error code in the message and the one I'm getting is 804, CUDA_ERROR_COMPAT_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_DEVICE . Now that I know what the error is, I'll go from there, but I'll see about opening a PR to return a useful error message when result() encounters a code it doesn't know.
A reboot fixed the 804 error and cudatest runs fine now for me.
@LucaPaterlini Are you still having this issue? If so, take a look at my PR and see if that will give you an error code you can use.
