Can we specify a CUDA core dump location? On my ubuntu 18.04 environment, setting /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern is not effective for CUDA core dump. The core dump just stored in my local directry.

CUDA-GDB :: CUDA Toolkit Documentation The user manual for CUDA-GDB, the NVIDIA tool for debugging CUDA applications on Linux and QNX systems.

Thank you for your pointing. Is there any plan to unify CUDA_COREDUMP_FILE to /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern?

Can we specify a CUDA core dump location?

Not that I know of. You can always file a bug to state your request.
