CUDA Installation

• 1. Install CUDA Toolkit:

  Download and install the appropriate CUDA Toolkit for your system from the NVIDIA website: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit Follow the installation instructions provided by NVIDIA.

• 2. Configure CUDA Paths:

  • After installation, you'll need to set the environment variables for CUDA include and library paths. These paths typically point to the directories containing cuda.h and other CUDA libraries.

  • The specific steps for setting environment variables depend on your operating system. Here are some general guidelines:

    Windows:

  • Right-click on "This PC" or "My Computer" and select "Properties".

  • Go to "Advanced system settings" -> "Environment Variables".

  • Under "System variables", find the "Path" variable and edit it.

  • Add the paths to your CUDA include directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.7\include) and the CUDA library directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.7\libnvdiacompute). Separate each path with a semicolon (;).

• 3. Verify Installation:
  • Once you've installed and configured CUDA, try compiling a simple CUDA program to verify if it works. You can use the provided code snippets as a starting point.
