sir, I have downloaded the eclipse-SDK-4.2.2-linux-64 bit for CUDA programming and now i am looking for Nsight eclipse plugin to do the same. Can you help me in locating the same as Nsight visual studio plugin is available everywhere but not Nsight eclipse plugin..Any help is appreciated....
ReplyDeleteWell Nsight eclipse IDE is available as a part of CUDA 5 but i am using CUDA 4.2 so is there any way we can use Nsight eclipse in CUDA 4.2...
ReplyDeleteBunny D, There would be no problem if you install Latest CUDA 5.0, what you have to change is just path variable(if you want to use command line or Terminal in case of Linux) other than, like Windows if you have already installed with Visual studio , same in Linux with Eclipse, after that if you install CUDA 5.0 or any other version (no need to uninstall previous CUDA 4.2, it will prompt you to choose version while creating new project) it will detect and make all the require changes and setting(s) in you Visual studio or eclipse in case of Linux.
DeleteApart from this, I'll try to look at web for Nsight eclipse plugin, seperatly, if available .. then i'll let you know with link.
Best of Luck
Bunny D, I got to know that there is no Separate plugin for Eclipse (confirmed); all what you can to do, either comply with my above reply or calm your self with Command line debugging using CUDA-GDB....
DeleteLet me know, if i can help further ...
