Cuda compilation tools, release 10.1, V10.1.105

Build

• Create the env CUDA_PATH that points to the directory given in the Table 4. CUDA to the Visual Studio .props locations. For instance, C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.1\extras\visual_studio_integration\MSBuildExtensions. You should find in it the file CUDA 10.1.props, If you don't do it, you got a problem with the loading of the proejct due to a bad $(CUDAPropsPath)

• When opening the solution file Samples_vs2017.sln at the root of the samples, it should take time to load.

• Go to the deviceQuery Project

• Change the runtime tool set and the sdk if needed in the project properties (Right Click)

• Build

• Test the binary created. The important outcomes are that a device was found, that the device(s) match what is installed in your system, and that the test passed.
