Howto pass flag to nvcc compiler in CMAKE












0














I have a C project in Cmake in which I have embedded cuda kernel module.



I want to pass --ptxas-options=-v only to nvcc in-order to view
Number of registers usage per thread and
shared Memory usage per block.



By searching on howto pass flags to nvcc in Cmake, I came across a solution



add_compile_options(myprog
PRIVATE
$<$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:C>:-Wall>
$<$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:CUDA>:-arch=sm_20 -ptxas-options=-v>
)


but this didn't show me the above properties. I think these flags aren't passed to nvcc properly.



How can I pass --ptxas-options=-v to my nvcc compiler ?

    I think you are looking for target_compile_options, not add_compile_options.

The newer approach of cmake cuda sets some other variables. Check the docs here.



What we need is to set CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS, which actually CMAKE_CUDA_FLAGS here.



set(CMAKE_CUDA_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CUDA_FLAGS} --ptxas-options=-v")

    The proper way to set CUDA flags only on a target is



    target_compile_options(<my_target> PRIVATE $<$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:CUDA>:my_cuda_option>) 


    This will set the option, via the generator expression, only for files which are compiled for the CUDA language.



    Using CMAKE_CUDA_FLAGS as suggested by the other answer sets a global property for all targets, which might or might not be the right approach depending on the use-case.

      How about?...



      find_package( CUDA REQUIRED )
      set( CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS "${CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS}" "--ptxas-options=-v" )

      include_directories( ${CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
      cuda_add_library( kernel_lib ${sources} )


      You can check also the CMake CUDA documentation online... https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindCUDA.html

      • You should also think about breaking up your CMakeLists.txt file. You have a lot of stuff in there. Consider sending some stuff to /config directory, and adding subdirectory - separating the C and CUDA code into separate directories is a good idea here.

                      Make sure you are compiling with the cuda__add ... target commands.

                      You should also think about breaking up your CMakeLists.txt file. You have a lot of stuff in there. Consider sending some stuff to /config directory, and adding subdirectory - separating the C and CUDA code into separate directories is a good idea here.
