Upgrade to CUDA 5.0: cudaMemcpyToSymbol invalid device symbol error
- 12/2012 - #Jumble
You have just upgraded to CUDA 5.0 and the function cudaMemcpyToSymbol() throws you the infamous "invalid device symbol" error. Here is what to do.
CUDA constant memory, namespace, and weird bugs
- 09/2012 - #Jumble
Edit: the usage of cudaMemcpyToSymbol describded below is deprecated since CUDA 4.1 (See also my new entry Upgrade to CUDA 5.0: cudaMemcpyToSymbol invalid device symbol error)
Today I want to discuss some issues I had with CUDA constant memory and share some workarounds.
Drag and drop not working in QTDesigner or QTCreator designer
- 06/2012 - #Jumble
This has upset me for some time and I finally found a forum entry solving this problem.
The problem: I wasn't able to drag&drop in QTDesigner any widgets from the widgets list to the form I was editing.
Solution found here: qtforum.org
You only need to add this entry to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Module"
Load "extmod"
EndSection
Broken F4 shortcut in Qtcreator for cuda files ".cu"
- 06/2012 - #Jumble
Well I'm using QtCreator to code my CUDA project and there has been a lot of things bothering me. Among them is this F4 shortcut which doesn't work. The shortcut enables switching between the header and source file but apparently the extension .cu is not recognized as a C++ source file. Here is how to fix it.
