Hello
If a kernel is called from within a python loop, how frequently is nvcc called?
If the kernel is essentially static, I would hope that nvcc is called once irregardless of
the number of times the loop iterates.
On the other hand, if the kernel is templated, and the template is a function of the loop
counter, it seems to me that nvcc would need to be called on every iteration.

Not built-in, but it's quite easy to hack in yourself.
Just add "print cmdline" around here:
https://github.com/inducer/pycuda/blob/master/pycuda/compiler.py#L118
(and then say "python setup.py install" as you did when you installed)
You might also need to delete the compiler cache, in /tmp/pycuda*, to
make sure the compiler actually runs.

It shouldn't.

Right. That's a place for you to hack in flags you'd always like to pass
to the compiler. PyCuda only reads that.
HTH,

Hello
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 with PyCuda 2012.1 and Cuda 5.0 on a K20c.
I have been developing with Cuda for 6 years and Python for 4 weeks.
I use the pycuda.compiler class to compile my Cuda code in my Python code.
Is there a way I can see all of the switches that are being passed into the
compiler?
I want to know if debug code (instead of release code) is being generated
by
the Cuda compiler.
The pycuda.compiler.DEFAULT_NVCC_FLAGS is always empty.
Thanks

I'm having issues getting pycuda to run properly. I had issues installing,
which I suspect is the root of my issue now. Following these instructions:
http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Installation/Linux/Ubuntu
I had to remove the last configuration flag --no-use-shipped-boost, because
it said there was no such argument. Also, I'm not using python3, so I
changed all references to python.
Doing that, I got it to install. I can import all of the tools, but when I
try to get to the SourceModule reference in demo.py, I get the following
error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

That sounds like you've solved your problem, correct?
Andreas
Finally, all works now...
Just summarise the tip here:
If your build system have gcc and msvc(say, 2010),
you must be careful about the building system.
You can use
BOOST_COMPILER = 'msvc'
in siteconf.py, but sometimes fail.
At that time, maybe you can try
"python setup.py build -c msvc"
cheers!
Great software~
Great Andreas Klöckner ;-)

Use the command:
python setup.py build -c msvc
...the build system finally use vs...(very strange behavior)

Sorry to bother again...
I still can't solve the problem...
I remember(a month before) I used
set VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS100COMNTOOLS%
and then
python setup.py build
all things would be done...
But today I can't find the way to out...
In the cmd of VS2010, I see the bin path of VS2010 is on the top...like:
Path=C:\Prog\vs2010\VC\BIN\amd64;...
But the build system want gcc always...;-(
log:
...
running build_ext
building '_driver' extension
...
C:\Anaconda\Scripts\gcc.bat -DMS_WIN64 -mdll -O -Wall
-DBOOST_PYTHON_SOURCE....

Hi, all,
I install Anaconda(with gcc) recently, and also have VS2010 before.
Today, when I build pycuda from VS2010 command line, using:
python setup.py build
from the cmd, I see some error related with gcc,
but I want to build pycuda with vs2010, I change the siteconf.py
BOOST_COMPILER = 'msvc'
but, the building process still use gcc...
