Compiling code containing dynamic parallelism fails

Question

I am doing dynamic parallelism programming using CUDA 5.5 and an NVDIA GeForce GTX 780 whose compute capability is 3.5. I am calling a kernel function inside a kernel functi

Answer 1

You need to let nvcc generate CC 3.5 code for your device. This can be done by adding this option to nvcc command line.

 -gencode arch=compute_35,code=sm_35

You may find the CUDA samples on dynamic parallelism for more detail. They contain both command line options and project settings for all supported OS.
