Hi All,
I am working on this platform:
* Windows 10 64bit
* Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition
* Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition
* CUDA 8.0
* CMake 3.9
I am in the middle of switching from VS2015 to VS2017, but CUDA projects
fail to properly compile under VS2017 as the compiler/linker fail to
find tools on the path setup by CMake. I believe this is
bug/incompatibly of the CMake FindCUDA module with VS2017.
To reproduce the problem I am attaching a tiny project
* main.cu is a minimal CUDA example from the web
* CMakeLists.txt is a CMake file that leads to a successful build
under VS2015 and unsuccessful under VS2017
* Output VS2015 is the output from building the project under VS2015
(all targets built OK)
* Output VS2017 is the output from building the project under VS2015
(1 target OK one target fails)
I have noticed also that oddly under VS2017 an "x64" and "main.dir"
directories are created outside the build dir, and at the level of the
source directory.
I thought of reporting this to the list, and any help is welcome,
Thank you and Best Regards,
Andrea

//
// Nearly minimal CUDA example.
// Compile with:
//
// nvcc -o example example.cu
//
#define N 1000
//
// A function marked __global__
// runs on the GPU but can be called from
// the CPU.
//
// This function multiplies the elements of an array
// of ints by 2.
//
// The entire computation can be thought of as running
// with one thread per array element with blockIdx.x
// identifying the thread.
//
// The comparison i<N is because often it isn't convenient
// to have an exact 1-1 correspondence between threads
// and array elements. Not strictly necessary here.
//
// Note how we're mixing GPU and CPU code in the same source
// file. An alternative way to use CUDA is to keep
// C/C++ code separate from CUDA code and dynamically
// compile and load the CUDA code at runtime, a little
// like how you compile and load OpenGL shaders from
// C/C++ code.

//
// Copy input data to array on GPU.
//
cudaMemcpy(da, ha, N*sizeof(int), cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
//
// Launch GPU code with N threads, one per
// array element.
//
add<<<N, 1>>>(da, db);
//
// Copy output array from GPU back to CPU.
//
