Is is possible for me to download older version of HPC SDK (for example 2018 version)? Because, I currently checked and found that NVIDIA only allow to download version 2020 onward. Thank for helping me!
Hi dat.ts2701.hust,
The PGI compilers were re-branded in 2020 to be the NVHPC Compilers included with the NVHPC SDK. No versions of the NVHPC SDK existed before then.
Given the old PGI compilers had a fee, to access the archived releases you need to have had a purchased license. If you do, then you or or organization would have received instructions on accessing the online portal.

Hi Mat,
Thanks for responding. Could you answer me one more question, please? I found that some coders use “pgcpp” compiler to compile their code with CMake for years ago. However, I could not find this compiler anymore in the current SDK versions (available compilers are: g++, nvc++, nvc, gfortran, c++, gcc, pgc++, pgccc, etc. ). So is this also a problem of current versions and I should had a purchased license of older versions?

pgcpp is a very old name for the PGI C++ compiler. The “pgcpp” compiler was renamed back in early 2015 to “pgc++” and removed for the distribution package in 2016. I’m surprised that any cmake would still use it, given it’s not been available for 8 years.
You should be able to simply set the CMake CXX to use “nvc++” instead.
