I am trying to change default stack size to assign a big array.
I added nvcc linking option like the below.
-Xlinker -Wl,–stack,16600000

But I face the error message.
unrecognized option ‘-Wl’ linking error

How can I change the stack size option?

How about changing the stack size using setrlimit ?
