Yup.

Yup.
In the future, please address requests like this to the mailing
list. I've cc'd them for archival.

Dan,
Please make sure the list stays cc'd for archival.

Yes. The Visual Studio compilers also need to be on your PATH
environment variable. VS installs a batch file vcvars.bat that should
arrange for that.

Hello,
I have just installed pycuda on a new machine running anaconda3 and cuda 10.1.243_426 for Windows 10, and tested the installation by running a program that had been run successfully on another machine, but with anaconda2.
My program breaks on a call for gpuarray.zeros, following a call to gpuarray.to_gpu (no other calls to pycuda have been made before that). Both calls are trying to establish 2D arrays of dtype=np.float32.
The included headers are:
import pycuda.driver as cuda
import pycuda.tools
import pycuda.autoinit
import pycuda.gpuarray as gpuarray
from pycuda.compiler import SourceModule
I've attached the error trace from python below. I'll be grateful if you could offer an explanation/fix.
Many thanks,
-Dan

Hallo,
I have a Pycuda code, which deals with two kernels. Both kernels run well
separately, but when I put them together, there is a memory problem
"LogicError: cuMemcpyDtoH failed: an illegal memory access was encountered".
In the second kernel "DotKernel", I can't change the values of any shared
array or global array. Could you please have a look at the code? Thank you
very much!
Best regards,
Morvan
Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask for a tech support,
please ignore the message if it is not.
My problem is described as follows: I am trying to run one of the
example scripts (I use ubuntu, pycharm with venv python virtual
environment):
> |import pycuda.autoinit from pycuda.compiler import SourceModule
> import numpy a = numpy.random.randn(4,4) a = a.astype(numpy.float32)
> a_gpu = cuda.mem_alloc(a.size * a.dtype.itemsize)
> cuda.memcpy_htod(a_gpu, a) mod = SourceModule(""" __global__ void
> doublify(float *a) { int idx = threadIdx.x + threadIdx.y*4; a[idx] *=
> 2; } """) func = mod.get_function("doublify") func(a_gpu,
> block=(4,4,1)) a_doubled = numpy.empty_like(a)
> cuda.memcpy_dtoh(a_doubled, a_gpu) print ("original array:") print (a)
> print ("doubled with kernel:") print (a_doubled)|
And I get the following error:

But if I run it with the 'python test.py' from the terminal itself,
then it executes just fine:

I wonder if it supposed to work like that or am I missing something? I
have checked the .bashrc file, nvcc --version, gcc --version and other
hints from the manual, everything seems to be correct. Would much
appreciate your help.
Kind Regards,
Artur
