Hi all,
I am new at cuda programming. I am working on a project for parallelizing a sequential program.
I began using the cuda 2.3 version on a GPU X295 card. Then I obtained an access to a server with a Fermi card with cuda 3.0 on it.
When I try to run my program on this server with Fermi on it, I have a segmentation fault on the first cudaMalloc of the program.
I have tried some simple programs and they run well on the Fermi.
The messages I have from cuda-gdb are:
Breakpoint 1, cuda_allocation () at kernel.cu:133
133
size_mat=mat_length_max*VProd(cells)*sizeof(int);
Current language: auto; currently c++
(cuda-gdb) n
134 size_site=nSites*sizeof(Site);
(cuda-gdb)
135 size_neigh=nebrTabMax*sizeof(int);
(cuda-gdb)
136 size_nebrEl=nSites*sizeof(int);
(cuda-gdb)
137 size_inertia = nTypes;
(cuda-gdb)
138 size_massDev = nTypes;
(cuda-gdb)
140 size_interactionTypeDev1 = nebrTabMax;
(cuda-gdb)
141 size_sigDev = nTypes*nTypes;
(cuda-gdb)
142 size_epsDev = nTypes*nTypes;
(cuda-gdb)
143 size_productElectroMomentsDev = nTypes*nTypes;
(cuda-gdb)
145 widthTex = ceil(sqrt(nSites));
(cuda-gdb)
147 channelDesc_V = cudaCreateChannelDesc();
(cuda-gdb)
149 cudaMalloc((void**)&mat, size_mat);
(cuda-gdb)
Segmentation fault
The program runs normally (I guess with an accentuated latency), only when I set the -G options te the nvcc Cuda compilator, otherwise it fails with a segmentation fault exactly in the lines I described above.
I paste here what is written in the core generated from the failure of the program:

Does anybody have any idea about how can I set right this kind of problem?
