Does Quadro 6000 (6GB) imply CUDA 64-bit v3.2 ?

This might be a silly question. I am aware that its only a h/w requirement that you need a 64-bit arch
to address more than 4GB, be it the CPU or the GPU. Will Cuda 32-bit v3.2 SDK restrict me to only 4GB
of available memory ?

I’m developing on a Windows 7 Workstation 64-bit. I am currently uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 since NVCC.exe
doesn’t like it. I am reverting to Visual Studio 2008.

To Summarize my question. Which version of CUDA v3.2 (32-bit or 64-bit?) should I install if I want it to peacefully
coexist with a Win32 VS 2008 Build, and give me full access to 6GB of RAM ?

If you want access to 6GB of memory, you need

  • 64-bit Vista/Win7/Server08 or 64-bit Linux (basically not XP)
  • 64-bit CUDA 3.2
  • 64-bit host application

It is high time, NVIDIA works with MS Visual Studio team to make sure new versions of VC do NOT spoil developer’s time.

This is a bit unrelated, but I’m curious how WMI will report the Quadro 6000. The WMI documentation says it only has 32-bits for the size of video memory and the video memory is reported in number of bytes.

CUDA v3.2 RC says it supports Windows 7. Windows 7 requires Visual Studio 2010. But Cuda NVCC.exe requires Visual Studio 2008.

Just Great !

Interesting, I wonder why VS 2008 is working on my W7 64bit…

Win7 doesn’t require VS2010.
