Compiling Cuda code on Heracles

Home

In order to compile CUDA code files, you have to use nvcc compiler.

Cuda codes can only be compiled and executed on node that have a GPU. Heracles has 4 Nvidia Tesla P100 GPUs on node18.

Cuda Compiler is installed on node 18, so you need ssh to compile cuda programs.

Syntax

ssh node18 nvcc <path/> source_code.cu -o <path/> exec_program

Compiling options:

-o <path/file>: place the output into <path/file>. If this option is omitted, the compiler will create executable program named a.out in working directory.

Example:

ssh node18 nvcc /home/john/csc5551/mm-cuda.cu -o /home/john/csc5551/mm-cuda
