    NVCC - CUDA Toolkit Documentation

    Uploaded by

    Ban Jelacicj
    NVCC is the CUDA compiler driver that handles compiling CUDA C/C++ source files for execution on NVIDIA GPUs. It separates the GPU device code from host code, compiles the device code using NVIDIA compilers and assembler, compiles the host code using a standard C++ compiler, and links them together with CUDA runtime libraries. This allows CUDA programs to leverage massively parallel GPUs for accelerating compute-intensive portions of applications while interfacing with host CPU code. NVCC abstracts away the complex multi-step compilation process for CUDA programming.

    The GPU code is implemented as a collection of functions


    in a language that is essentially C++, but with some
    annotations for distinguishing them from the host code,
    plus annotations for distinguishing different types of data
    memory that exists on the GPU. Such functions may have
    parameters, and they can be called using a syntax that is
    very similar to regular C function calling, but slightly
    extended for being able to specify the matrix of GPU
    threads that must execute the called function. During its
    life time, the host process may dispatch many parallel GPU
    tasks.

    For more information on the CUDA programming model,


    consult the CUDA C++ Programming Guide.

    1.1.2. CUDA Sources
    Source files for CUDA applications consist of a mixture of
    conventional C++ host code, plus GPU device functions.
    The CUDA compilation trajectory separates the device
    functions from the host code, compiles the device
    functions using the proprietary NVIDIA compilers and
    assembler, compiles the host code using a C++ host
    compiler that is available, and afterwards embeds the
    compiled GPU functions as fatbinary images in the host
    object file. In the linking stage, specific CUDA runtime
    libraries are added for supporting remote SPMD procedure
    calling and for providing explicit GPU manipulation such as
    allocation of GPU memory buffers and host-GPU data
    transfer.

    1.1.3. Purpose of NVCC
    The compilation trajectory involves several splitting,
    compilation, preprocessing, and merging steps for each
    CUDA source file. It is the purpose of nvcc , the CUDA
    compiler driver, to hide the intricate details of CUDA
    compilation from developers. It accepts a range of
