How can i set up CUDA, to use in device emulation mode on a windows based box with no CUDA capable device.

I tried installing CUDA toolkit but it came out saying that no CUDA driver, which i can;t install since i have no CUDA capable device.
I needed this setup CUDA to (atleast debug) on my notebook, any help/suggestions for is greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

peace

You need these main steps to run CUDA using emulation mode on windows:

  1. Install CUDA toolkit

  2. Install CUDA SDK

  3. Install Visual Studio 2005 Express or Full edition( I didn’t try Visual Studio 2008 )

  4. Add cuda/bin in the path env variable

  5. make sure you have these environment variables based on your installation directories

CUDA_BIN_PATH: i.e. C:\CUDA\bin

CUDA_COMMON_INC_PATH: i.e. C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA CUDA SDK\common\inc

CUDA_COMMON_LIB_PATH: i.e. C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA CUDA SDK\common\lib

CUDA_INC_PATH: i.e. C:\CUDA\include

CUDA_LIB_PATH: i.e. C:\CUDA\lib

NVSDKCUDA_ROOT: i.e. C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA CUDA SDK

  1. Install CUDA_VS2005 plugin to Integrate CUDA with Visual C++

  1. Enable Syntax Highlighting for CUDA in Visual Studio

The other thing, when you try to run your code make sure you are using Emudebug if you do the integration using CUDA_VS2005 plugin.

I hope that helps!

Hello,

I downloaded and installed everything, but the folder (NVIDIA CUDA SDK) does not and instead I get this folder, I get “NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK Browser”

Who can help me further or give a link where everything is explained step by step???

I need it urgently …

Merci :)

I am a beginner, but my guess is that the folder name changes with the CUDA SDK version you install. That should not have any problems.
