Same code works in VS, but not from command prompt?

Hey all,

I have been trying to debug a code for hours now, but it doesn’t work when I compile it with nvcc in command line. However, it works fine when I copy it in Visual studio and compile it there.

I prefer the command line version, because VS IntelliSense “red line” every CUDA functions.

Maybe the VS compile it with a special flag?

I’ve found that VS 2010 adds some commands that aren’t shown in the logs
I use the below for compiling from command prompt, try make some changes to this and see if it works

“C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v5.0\bin\nvcc.exe” -gencode=arch=compute_35,code="sm_35,compute_35" --cl-version 2010 -ccbin “c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64” -link -I"./" -I"./common/inc" -I"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v5.0\include" -I"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v5.0\include" -maxrregcount=0 --ptxas-options=“-v” --machine 64 --compile -use_fast_math -DWIN32 -D_MBCS -Xcompiler “/EHsc /W3 /nologo /O2 /Zi /MT”

I’ve tried it, it still doesn’t work.

Here it is, if it helps: Dropbox - Error

Basically if ARRAY_SIZE is bigger than 497, the results (hOutInf and hOutSup arrays) are always 0;

This is the output I got using that command line. The first few numbers have blown up. Not sure what to make of the rest

etc etc.

Try running the code with cuda-memcheck, and also wrap your kernel and CUDA calls with error checkers to see if any are failing – like so: [url]Loading...

Your earlier mention that it doesn’t work when you increase array size suggests you have a problem with how you’re defining your kernel’s gridsize and blocksize arguments. For that last run you posted, it suggests you’re indexing into something bogus that’s giving you the wrong output.
