I know this is a really stupid question but i am just about to start on my CUDA journey so bear with me.
What is the name of the compiler executable?
Ie what do you type in to compile your CUDA files?
Also i am running temporarily off a machine that doesnt have a nvidia graphics card but i still want to run CUDA for the sake of things, will this work?, ie will the CPU do all the work for me?
We include make files that call the nvcc front-end and work with gcc on linux and provide visual studio project files for use with nvcc integrated into dev studio 2005.
Install the toolkit and then the SDK. The SDK has the make files and visual studio projects for about 50 source code examples
the problem i have now is that it says that it ‘cannot find a cuda supported device’ which is weird cause i have a 8500 GT and have installed the device driver from the cuda download area.
