I want to implement MonteCarlo using CUDA.
I write my code on Win8 PC using Visual Studio2012/CUDA 5.5/GT 720M and it runs well.
Then I tried to compile my code in REHL5.3/Tesla C1060/CUDA 2.3 but the result turned out wrong.
Then I want to use cuda-gdb to debug it
but, when I compile my code like this:
nvcc -arch=sm_13 -o my_program my_program.cu
the result is wrong. However I can't debug it because it's not debug-able code.
When I compile it like this:
nvcc -g -G -arch=sm_13 -o my_program my_program.cu
The result, this time, get correct... So still I can't find my bug by debugging it...
the code looks like this, the function __device__ double monte_carlo_try()
is not in the real code.
the problem is, if I check the value of test[], I find the values are all correct.
So there should be some error in the reduction part.
