Cuda Go

Go Sample program (to check Cuda bindings)

package main
import(
  cu "github.com/rafaelescrich/3/cuda"
  "fmt"
  "C"
  "strconv"
)

func main(){
  cu.Init(0);
  fmt.Println("Hello, I am you GPU:", cu.Device(0).Name())
  fmt.Println("Number of devices: " + strconv.Itoa(cu.DeviceGetCount()))
  fmt.Println("Free memory: " + strconv.FormatInt(cu.DeviceGet(0).TotalMem(),10))
}

Response message:

$ ./cuda-go
ello, I am your GPU: GeForce 940MX
Devices clock rate is:  1189000
Number of devices: 1
Free memory: 4242604032

Some Cuda program sample

vi hello.cu

#include <moderngpu/transform.hxx>

using namespace mgpu;

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  // The context encapsulates things like an allocator and a stream.
  // By default it prints device info to the console.
  standard_context_t context;

  // Launch five threads to greet us.
  transform([]MGPU_DEVICE(int index) {
    printf("Hello GPU from thread %d\n", index);
  }, 5, context);

  // Synchronize on the context's stream to send the output to the console.
  context.synchronize();
