Bonjour Andreas,
thanks a lot for the answer and do not mind about the delay.
I was able to fix the problem looking inside your wiki and realising
that some Python package are too old or broken in Ubuntu, so I have
un-installed it and re-installed the "good" packages from source :-)
("use the Source Simone").
PyCUDA is simply FANTASTIC ! I have spent the last 10 day in full
beach-mode (no computer), so I need some time go back "in sync".
By the way, I will spend two weeks here:
http://iwrwww1.fzk.de/summerschool-fusion/
Do you know someone that is already using PyCUDA for fusion simulation ?
I would like to use PyCUDA for something more aggressive: real time control !
Regards
Simone Mannori - ENEA Brasimone
