  1. doesn’t matter, can have one file containing both C and cuda code, or have separate files
  2. a call to cudaThreadSynchronize(); after the call to the kernel will do this for you
    see Cuda toolkit reference manual
  3. done automatically for you ( i.e. compiler adds necessary code and it becomes part of your .exe )
