For system requirements and installation instructions of cuda toolkit, please refer to the Linux Installation Guide, the Windows Installation Guide, and the Mac Installation Guide.
Using git clone the repository of CUDA Samples using the command below.
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-samples.git
Without using git the easiest way to use these samples is to download the zip file containing the current version by clicking the "Download ZIP" button on the repo page. You can then unzip the entire archive and use the samples.
The Windows samples are built using the Visual Studio IDE. Solution files (.sln) are provided for each supported version of Visual Studio, using the format:
*_vs<version>.sln - for Visual Studio <version>
Complete samples solution files exist at parent directory of the repo:
Each individual sample has its own set of solution files at:
<CUDA_SAMPLES_REPO>\Samples\<sample_dir>\
To build/examine all the samples at once, the complete solution files should be used. To build/examine a single sample, the individual sample solution files should be used.
Note: Some samples require that the Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010 or newer) be installed and that the VC++ directory paths are properly set up (Tools > Options...). Check DirectX Dependencies section for details."
The Linux samples are built using makefiles. To use the makefiles, change the current directory to the sample directory you wish to build, and run make:
$ cd <sample_dir>
$ make
The samples makefiles can take advantage of certain options:
TARGET_ARCH= - cross-compile targeting a specific architecture. Allowed architectures are x86_64, ppc64le, armv7l, aarch64.
By default, TARGET_ARCH is set to HOST_ARCH. On a x86_64 machine, not setting TARGET_ARCH is the equivalent of setting TARGET_ARCH=x86_64.
$ make TARGET_ARCH=x86_64
$ make TARGET_ARCH=ppc64le
$ make TARGET_ARCH=armv7l
$ make TARGET_ARCH=aarch64
See here for more details on cross platform compilation of cuda samples.
dbg=1 - build with debug symbols
$ make dbg=1
SMS="A B ..." - override the SM architectures for which the sample will be built, where "A B ..."
is a space-delimited list of SM architectures. For example, to generate SASS for SM 50 and SM 60, use SMS="50 60"
.
$ make SMS="50 60"
HOST_COMPILER=<host_compiler> - override the default g++ host compiler. See the Linux Installation Guide for a list of supported host compilers.
$ make HOST_COMPILER=g++
The Mac samples are built using makefiles. To use the makefiles, change directory into the sample directory you wish to build, and run make:
$ cd <sample_dir>
$ make
The samples makefiles can take advantage of certain options:
dbg=1 - build with debug symbols
$ make dbg=1
SMS="A B ..." - override the SM architectures for which the sample will be built, where "A B ..." is a space-delimited list of SM architectures. For example, to generate SASS for SM 50 and SM 60, use SMS="50 60".
$ make SMS="A B ..."
HOST_COMPILER=<host_compiler> - override the default clang host compiler. See the Mac Installation Guide for a list of supported host compilers.
$ make HOST_COMPILER=clang
Some CUDA Samples rely on third-party applications and/or libraries, or features provided by the CUDA Toolkit and Driver, to either build or execute. These dependencies are listed below.
If a sample has a third-party dependency that is available on the system, but is not installed, the sample will waive itself at build time.
Each sample's dependencies are listed in its README's Dependencies section.
These third-party dependencies are required by some CUDA samples. If available, these dependencies are either installed on your system automatically, or are installable via your system's package manager (Linux) or a third-party website.
FreeImage is an open source imaging library. FreeImage can usually be installed on Linux using your distribution's package manager system. FreeImage can also be downloaded from the FreeImage website. FreeImage is also redistributed with the CUDA Samples.
MPI (Message Passing Interface) is an API for communicating data between distributed processes. A MPI compiler can be installed using your Linux distribution's package manager system. It is also available on some online resources, such as Open MPI. On Windows, to build and run MPI-CUDA applications one can install MS-MPI SDK.
Some samples can only be run on a 64-bit operating system.
DirectX is a collection of APIs designed to allow development of multimedia applications on Microsoft platforms. For Microsoft platforms, NVIDIA's CUDA Driver supports DirectX. Several CUDA Samples for Windows demonstrates CUDA-DirectX Interoperability, for building such samples one needs to install Direct X SDK (June 2010 or newer) , this is required to be installed on Windows 7, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2008, Other Windows OSes do not need to explicitly install the DirectX SDK.
DirectX 12 is a collection of advanced low-level programming APIs which can reduce driver overhead, designed to allow development of multimedia applications on Microsoft platforms starting with Windows 10 OS onwards. For Microsoft platforms, NVIDIA's CUDA Driver supports DirectX. Few CUDA Samples for Windows demonstrates CUDA-DirectX12 Interoperability, for building such samples one needs to install Windows 10 SDK or higher, with VS 2015 or VS 2017.
OpenGL is a graphics library used for 2D and 3D rendering. On systems which support OpenGL, NVIDIA's OpenGL implementation is provided with the CUDA Driver.
OpenGL ES is an embedded systems graphics library used for 2D and 3D rendering. On systems which support OpenGL ES, NVIDIA's OpenGL ES implementation is provided with the CUDA Driver.
Vulkan is a low-overhead, cross-platform 3D graphics and compute API. Vulkan targets high-performance realtime 3D graphics applications such as video games and interactive media across all platforms. On systems which support Vulkan, NVIDIA's Vulkan implementation is provided with the CUDA Driver. For building and running Vulkan applications one needs to install the Vulkan SDK.
OpenMP is an API for multiprocessing programming. OpenMP can be installed using your Linux distribution's package manager system. It usually comes preinstalled with GCC. It can also be found at the OpenMP website.
Screen is a windowing system found on the QNX operating system. Screen is usually found as part of the root filesystem.
X11 is a windowing system commonly found on *-nix style operating systems. X11 can be installed using your Linux distribution's package manager, and comes preinstalled on Mac OS X systems.
EGL is an interface between Khronos rendering APIs (such as OpenGL, OpenGL ES or OpenVG) and the underlying native platform windowing system.
EGLOutput is a set of EGL extensions which allow EGL to render directly to the display.
EGLSync is a set of EGL extensions which provides sync objects that are synchronization primitive, representing events whose completion can be tested or waited upon.
These CUDA features are needed by some CUDA samples. They are provided by either the CUDA Toolkit or CUDA Driver. Some features may not be available on your system.
CUFFT Callback Routines are user-supplied kernel routines that CUFFT will call when loading or storing data. These callback routines are only available on Linux x86_64 and ppc64le systems.

It combines three separate libraries under a single umbrella, each of which can be used independently or in concert with other toolkit libraries. The intent ofCUSOLVER is to provide useful LAPACK-like features, such as common matrix factorization and triangular solve routines for dense matrices, a sparse least-squares solver and an eigenvalue solver. In addition cuSolver provides a new refactorization library useful for solving sequences of matrices with a shared sparsity pattern.
