[llvm-dev] Compiling CUDA with clang on Windows (original) (raw)

I can obtain axpy.exe correctly. However, the results are "y[0] = 0, y[1] = 0, y[2] = 0, y[3] = 0", which are not correct. I will be very glad to have comments from you.

It probably is not launching the kernel successfully. You'll need to add error checking and then figure out why you're getting an error from CUDA.

By the way, is it also possible to have a pre-built binary for msys2 (64bits) on windows?

All of these things are community-driven, so if it's not there already, you may be the best person to provide it. :)

Dear llvm friends and Justin: I tried clang 7.0.1 from the pre-built binariy of windows (64bit) <http://releases.llvm.org/download.html#7.0.1> and cuda 8.0 to build axpy.cu in the website <https://llvm.org/docs/CompileCudaWithLLVM.html>. I use the following command: clang++ axpy.cu -o axpy.exe --cuda-gpu-arch=sm35 -L"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0\lib\x64" -lcudartstatic. The compiler indicated two types of bugs as "undefined FPNAN, FPINFINITE, FPZERO, FPSUBNORMAL, & FPNORMAL" and "conflicts of isnan, isfinite, & isinf". I patched them by the attached files. Then, I can obtain axpy.exe correctly. However, the results are "y[0] = 0, y[1] = 0, y[2] = 0, y[3] = 0", which are not correct. I will be very glad to have comments from you. By the way, is it also possible to have a pre-built binary for msys2 (64bits) on windows? I suppose that it should be very similar to a linux system except reimp should be used to convert the cuda .lib files to the corresponding .a files. I have used the method to obtain libopencl.a, and it works perfectly well on my Nvidia GPU + msys2/mingw64/clang5 + opencl system as I tested all the examples from viennaCL <http://viennacl.sourceforge.net/>. best regard Tsai On Fri, May 4, 2018 at 6:11 AM Justin Lebar <jlebar at google.com> wrote: Hi, Tsai,

Can you try a newer version of clang and CUDA? -Justin On Thu, May 3, 2018 at 1:20 AM Finite Tsai <tsaichiacheng at gmail.com> wrote:
