Create an empty project:
$ xmake create -P test -l cuda
$ cd test
$ xmake
-- define target
target("cuda_console")
set_kind("binary")
add_files("src/*.cu")
-- generate SASS code for SM architecture of current host
add_cugencodes("native")
-- generate PTX code for the virtual architecture to guarantee compatibility
add_cugencodes("compute_30")
NOTE
Starting with v2.2.7, the default build will enable device-link. (see Separate Compilation and Linking of CUDA C++ Device Code) If you want to disable device-link, you can set it with set_policy("build.cuda.devlink", false)
.
NOTE
Device functions in cuda source files should be device-linked once and only once. On targets with kind binary
or shared
xmake will automatically perform the device-link which takes the static libraries they depend into account, while for static
targets by default will not be device-linked. However, if the final binary
or shared
target do not contain any cuda files, the device-link stage could be missing, resulting in an undefined reference error. In this case the static target should be set add_values("cuda.build.devlink", true)
manually.
Xmake will detect Cuda SDK automatically and we can also set the SDK directory (or SDK version for default installations) manually.
$ xmake f --cuda=/usr/local/cuda-9.1/
$ xmake f --cuda=9.1
$ xmake
