Windows7 64-bit CUDA7.0 configuration and simple use example in VS2010

1. Check the native configuration to see if the graphics card type supports NVIDIA GPUs, select Computer-Right-click Properties--Device Manager--Display adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GT 610, from Https://developer. Nvidia.com/cuda-gpus can find the corresponding graphics card compute capability;

2. From http://www.nvidia.cn/Download/index.aspx?lang= CN download the appropriate driver 347.88-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe and install;

3. Download the appropriate latest version CUDA7.0 installation from Https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit according to the native type;

4. Follow the http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-getting-started-guide-for-microsoft-windows/index.html#axzz3W8BU10Ol steps Verify that the installation is correct:

(1), open the C:\ProgramData\NVIDIACorporation\CUDA samples\v7.0 directory under the Samples_vs2010.sln project, respectively, in the debug, Release x64 under the compilation of the entire project;

(2), during the compilation process, you will be prompted to find "D3dx9.h", "D3dx10.h", "D3dx11.h" header files, from the http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id= 6812 Download the Dxsdk_jun10.exe, then install to the default directory, and then compile the project;

(3), open the C:\ProgramData\NVIDIACorporation\CUDA samples\v7.0\bin\win64\release directory, open the cmd command line, Drag the DeviceQuery.exe directly into the CMD, enter, display GPU graphics, Cuda version and other related information, the last line shows: Result = PASS;

(4), drag BandwidthTest.exe to cmd, enter, will show Device0:geforce GT 610 and other related information, there will be a line to show: Result = PASS;

5. Create a new console project Testcuda:nvidia---CUDA7.0, Name:testcuda, will automatically generate a kernel.cu file, directly run it;

6. Let the VS2010 cuda file highlight:

(1), to make the. cu,. cuh files in the C + + syntax highlighting: VS2010-->tools-----------File extension--> Write. cu in extension, select MicrosoftVisual C + + in editor, click Add,.cuh Same operation, click OK;

(2), the CUDA keyword highlighting: put C:\ProgramData\NVIDIACorporation\CUDA Samples\v5.0\doc\syntax_highlighting\visual_studio_ The Usertype.dat file in the 8 directory is copied to the C:\ProgramFiles (x86) \microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE Directory (Note: This machine is a Win7 64-bit system, If the win732 bit system copies the Usertype.dat file to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE directory), CUDA 7.0 does not have the Usertype.dat file, I use the old version 5.0 in the Usertype.dat file;

(3), the Cuda function highlighting, Cuda function input code hint: first, select Vassistx---Visual Assist X Options--Projects---C/c++directories: Platform Select Custom,show Directories for item Select other include files, select New, C:\Program files\nvidia GPU Computing Toolkit\cuda \v7.0\include directory to join, click Apply, OK, then, use Regedit to open the registry, Hkey_current_user\software\whole tomato\visual Assist x\vanet10, Find the Extsource project on the right, the right mouse button to modify, after the original content to add. cu;. cuh; After determining, close the registry and reopen the VS2010 project;

7. Modify the Testcuda project, remove the Kernel.cu file, add the Testcuda.cu file, and/cuda samples/v7.0/1_utilities/bandwidthtest/ The Bandwidthtest.cu file content is copied to the testcuda.cu to implement the Bandwidthtest functionality, and modifications to the engineering configuration include:

(1), CUDA c/c++--> Common--Additional Include directories:.. /.. /.. /src/common/inc;

(2), CUDA c/c++--> Host---Runtime library:multi-threaded Debug (/MTD) or multi-threaded (/MT).
