Matlab 2007b and CUDA Can't compile CUDA example with Matlab

jbv · December 13, 2007, 4:07pm

Hi,

If I compile an example with Visual C++ Express from the SDK I don’t have any problems, I can run it…

Now, I’m trying to use the CUDA plugin for Matlab ith Matlab2007b and Visual C++2005 Express edition, I can compile a mex file with no problem, but I can’t compile the example :

nvmex -f nvmexopts.bat Szeta.cu -IC:\cuda\include -LC:\cuda\lib -lcufft -lcudart

The result is

Szeta.cu 

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\INCLUDE\crtdefs.h", line 472: error:  

          invalid combination of type specifiers 

  typedef unsigned short wchar_t; 

  ^ 

"c:\cuda\include\common_functions.h", line 55: warning: dllexport/dllimport 

          conflict with "clock" (declared at line 176 of "C:\Program 

          Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\INCLUDE\time.h"); 

          dllimport/dllexport dropped 

  extern __declspec(__host__) __declspec(__device__) clock_t clock(void); 

                                                             ^ 

1 error detected in the compilation of "C:\DOCUME~1\JEAN-B~1\LOCALS~1\Temp/tmpxft_00000f00_00000000-5.ii". 

 F:\MATLAB~1\BIN\NVMEX.PL: Error: Compile of 'Szeta.cu' failed.

I don’t know this kind of error…

Does anybody have an idea ?

Thanks,

JB

Have you downloaded the new Matlab plugin for 1.1?

The nvmexopts.bat is slightly different.

jbv · December 13, 2007, 4:44pm

Yes I’m using v1.1

I see, the package updated is missing the new nvmexopts.bat needed for 1.1.

I will post the modified version later on the forum and update the whole package.

jbv · December 13, 2007, 5:13pm

OK, thank you very much !

mfatica · December 13, 2007, 6:40pm

This nvmexopts.bat will fix the error.

The compiler flags need an additional -D_WCHAR_T_DEFINED

I have a similar problem with Matlab R2007b and plugin 1.1…

I can correctly execute the code mentioned below:

…but when I try to compile CUDA code like the one in the example:

I receive this message:

I’ve already done the setup of “nvmex” choosing M$ Visual Studio 8 but I always receive the same message. I don’t know how to use the plugin with Matlab. I don’t understand if compiling those programs is mandatory or I just need to replace fft2 and ifft2 files in mathlab with the ones i just created :D

On the pc I have:

CUDA SDK 1.1

CUDA 1.1 Toolkit

Microsoft Visual Studio 8 Express

Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2

Matlab R2007b

Thanks

have you an updated include file?

Your card does not support CUDA.
You need a G8x based card.

I was responding to DS.Will, but it applies to you too. You cannot run CUDA on a 7300GT.

how do you get to be a hardware alpha/beta tester? we’re going to be doing image processing with a Red One camera which throws out 4k compressed frames and 2k uncompressed data. i’d like to see what kind of cutting edge stuff you got.

gchantas · April 16, 2009, 5:45pm

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot

I have found the solution (at least for my machine, Matlab 2009a, Visual Studio 2008 (9.0) )

1st: The linker searches for some libraries, such as kernel32.lib, in %MATLAB%\extern\lib\win32\microsoft% (see nvmexopt.bat)
The libraries are in the MSVC SDK path in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin”
Copy all the files (*.lib) of the second (MSVC) to the first directory (MATLAB).

2nd: After that I encountered a problem with the mt command in the pre-last line of the nvmexopts.bat file
set POSTLINK_CMDS2=mt … bla bla
replace it with
set POSTLINK_CMDS2=“C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\mt.exe” … bla bla

3rd: One minor change is the path of the visual studio:
set VSINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0
instead of Visual Studio 8.0
Of course, maybe somebody can give a more efficient solution.

I hope it will work for you!

I did what you say and it works, I can compile with Matlab 2007b and Visual Studio 9.0
and I run the exemple to solve the Euler equation and I obtain the same results, therefore, It works.

Although the fft2_cuda.mex32 is created in any case.
Is it something about the mex file?. About Matlab?
