Compiling with CUDA Toolkit on CIRCE
The CUDA Toolkit and Compilers user guide is essential to understanding the application and making the most of it. The guide and this page should help you to get started with your simulations. Please refer to the Documentation section for a link to the guide.
- Note on CIRCE: Make sure to run your jobs from your $WORK directory!
Running on CIRCE - Interactive Job
- Note: All CUDA jobs should be run in an SBATCH/SRUN session on the cuda partition, and NOT on the login nodes!
To run CUDA tools, the following steps must be taken, in addition to using another command sequence.
1. To start an Interactive SRUN session, run the command below with example resources:
[user@login0 ~]$ srun --time=02:00:00 --nodes=1 --ntasks=4 --gres=gpu:1 --pty /bin/bash [user@wh-520-9-2 ~]$
2. Next, load the CUDA module as described above, and then start your specific CUDA tool(s):
[user@wh-520-9-2 ~]$ module load apps/cuda/7.5
3. Finally, run your CUDA-based code or binaries.
