Hi everyone. I’m encountering a very strange problem: Mu 9800GT doesnt seem to calculate at all.
I’ve tried all hello-worlds i’ve found in the internet, here’s one of them:
this program creates 1…100 array on hosts, sends it to device, calculates a square of each value, returns it to host, prints the results.
[indent]
#include “stdafx.h”
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cuda.h>
__global__ void square_array(float *a, int N)
{
int idx = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
if (idx<N) a[idx] = a[idx] * a[idx];
}
// main routine that executes on the host
int main(void)
{
float *a_h, *a_d; // Pointer to host & device arrays
const int N = 100; // Number of elements in arrays
size_t size = N * sizeof(float);
a_h = (float *)malloc(size); // Allocate array on host
cudaMalloc((void **) &a_d, size); // Allocate array on device
// Initialize host array and copy it to CUDA device
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) a_h[i] = (float)i;
cudaMemcpy(a_d, a_h, size, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
// Do calculation on device:
int block_size = 4;
int n_blocks = N/block_size + (N%block_size == 0 ? 0:1);
square_array <<< n_blocks, block_size >>> (a_d, N);
// Retrieve result from device and store it in host array
cudaMemcpy(a_h, a_d, sizeof(float)*N, cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost);
// Print results
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) printf("%d %f\n", i, a_h[i]);
// Cleanup
free(a_h); cudaFree(a_d);
}[/indent]
so the output is expected to be:
1 1.000
2 4.000
3 9.000
4 16.000
…
I swear back in 2009 it worked perfectly (vista 32, deviceemu)
now i get output:
1 1.000
2 2.000
3 3.000
4 4.000
so my card doesnt do anything. What can be the problem?
Configuration is:
win7x64
visual studio 2010 32bit
cuda toolkit 3.2 64bit
compilation settings: cuda 3.2 toolkit, 32-bit target platform, deviceemu or not - doesnt matter, the results are the same.
i also tried it on my vmware xp(32bit) visual studio 2008. the result is the same.
Please help me, i barely made the programe to compile, now i need it to work.
Sample solution project and .cu file are attached.
Thanks, Ilya.
