Error: Break in Vector Addition program Program hanging

Hello,

I wrote the following program to add two vectors a_h and b_h and store the result in c_h after computation in emulation mode. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and running the program in emulation mode. The compilation do not

show any error. However, when the program executes, it stops responding after accepting the inputs from the user (i.e after printf("enter

second vector"); for(i=0;i<10;i++) { scanf(“%f”,&b_h[i]); } ). After this nothing happens and the program hangs (please see the attached image of the output). Ideally it should display the content of c (i.e. the sum of a and b ).Moreover sometime I even get an error message while running the program saying that there is a break in the program or a new window opens displaying the content of free() that I have used in the program. Please see the various out puts shown below.

Why is this happening even though the compilar is not showing any error?I would be thankful to you for your valuable information in this regard.

}

for(i=0;i<10;i++)

You forgot to allocate both host and device storage for the c-vector + you probably want to use cudaMemcpy(c_h,c_d,size,cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost) instead.

Thanks Nico for the help! :)
