I'll take a look at it. Do you recommend the testing 2.0 versions or stable 1.3? At this time I have no need for GUI development. The app I want to do right now could run on the command line. However getting started with something that did support eventually doing a GUI would be nice as long as it doesn't kill me. As for the C vs C++ issue, I only say C because the NVidia nvcc compiler seems to be primarily a C compiler. It's not until you get to Appendix D in the programming guide that they even mention C++ in the context of CUDA. That said, however, my understanding of what nvcc does is that what it really does breaks apart the *.cu input files into portions that are sent to the CUDA compiler, and portions that are sent to gcc. I suspect the gcc/host computing side can be whatever is legal for gcc. All I need, as best I understand it today, is to call nvcc instead of gcc. If I can find a simple C++ Hello World program that actually uses classes or whatever makes C++ C++ then I'll see how it works. It's pretty easy to drop in a few CUDA commands and see if i works. Thanks for the info. Looks interesting. Cheers, Mark
