ger

cuBLAS Level-2 APIs - cublas<t>ger

Description

This code demonstrates a usage of cuBLAS ger function to compute a rank-1 update

A = | 1.0 | 2.0 | 
    | 3.0 | 4.0 |
    
x = | 5.0 | 6.0 |

y = | 7.0 | 8.0 |

See documentation for further details.

CUDA APIs involved

• cublas<t>ger API

Building (make)

Prerequisites

• A Linux/Windows system with recent NVIDIA drivers.
• CMake version 3.18 minimum

Build command on Linux

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

Make sure that CMake finds expected CUDA Toolkit. If that is not the case you can add argument -DCMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER=/path/to/cuda/bin/nvcc to cmake command.

Build command on Windows

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 ..
$ Open cublas_examples.sln project in Visual Studio and build

Usage

$  ./cublas_ger_example
