2015-update2 has many big-changes on C++ language specification to catch-up C++11,14,17.
as nvcc separates a .cu to host and device code, nvcc should parse whole vc++ code.
it seems current nvcc can not guarantee full-support of 2015-update2.
Is there an update tool in CUDA, which I could periodically run to see if Nvidia has patched this problem?
I’ve just built a new system and purchased Visual Studio Pro for a variety of projects including CUDA work. I’d rather not jump through hoops to downgrade the entire system, and can postpone CUDA work for a little while. That in mind, is Nvidia fairly active, frequent updates? Is there a changelog somewhere to track these and stay up to date?
NVidia reps. indicated to me that they are actively trying to resolve the VS Update issue before release, and that the breakage it was untimely and unforeseen (no MS warning), but it’s not certain that they will be able to address it in the release version of 8.0.
After getting approval for a vision project we purchased, K40C, Quadro K5200, Visual Studio 2015 + MSDN subscription and twin USB3 4K cameras we got a rude surprise, nothing works as planned. We can not install software that has known security issues.
We were able to return the hardware (K40C, Quadro K5200) but I had to pay for the software out of my pocket, not returnable.
We purchased a Jetson TX1 for $600 or 10 times less than what we paid for the workstation hardware. Nvidia, Newegg, and HP lost money.
Why Nvida can not support two OS markets is beyond reason, this sounds like a management issue or lack thereof.
I have been coming back to this thread, this issue for weeks, months maybe. I have to say I’m really disappointed to not have a fix. I thought Nvidia was a fairly large, popular company and would have solved problems quickly. I guess I’ve gotten used to the open source community and more active projects. Is there an alternative to CUDA? How are other people accessing the GPU, doing intense machine learning development? Is there an open source solution that is getting more attention? I never really favored Visual Studio and totally open to just removing it from my tool stack.
Also, this is the only thread I’ve found about this blocking problem. Is there a more active community working with current releases of VS and CUDA?
ASP.NET Core 1.1 will be released at the Microsoft Ignite conference on 09/26-30/2016 along with Visual Studio 2015 Update 4. CUDA Toolkit 8 might be released at that time as well and the pain and the wait is over!
So my guess is that CUDA Toolkit 8 release date is 09/30/2016 :-)
