A CUDA source file can be compiled into PTX format using LLVM compiler with the command clang -Xclang -I$LIBCLC/include/generic -I$LIBCLC/include/ptx -Dcl_clang_storage_class_specifiers -O3 cudaFile.cu -S -o ptxOutputFile.ptx --cuda-gpu-arch=sm_XX
Where sm_XX can be replaced as sm_20, sm_30. For compute capability 1.0, when sm_XX was replaced with sm_10, it gives the error fatal error: cannot open file '/tmp/shared-25f2f5.s': No such file or directory
1 error generated.
So it seems the LLVM has a minimum compute capability of 2.0. Is this assumption correct?
It should be correct. As from CUDA 7.0, both the toolkit and driver support for sm_1x has stopped. If sm_20 works, it has to be the minimum.
CUDA Toolkit and CUDA Driver Support for Tesla Architecture
The CUDA Toolkit and CUDA Driver no longer supports the sm_10, sm_11, sm_12, and sm_13 architectures. As a consequence, CU_TARGET_COMPUTE_1x enum values have been removed from the CUDA headers.

I'm currently trying to compile Darknet on the latest CUDA toolkit which is version 11.1. I have a GPU capable of running CUDA version 5 which is a GeForce 940M. However, while rebuilding darknet using the latest CUDA toolkit, it said
nvcc fatal : Unsupported GPU architecture 'compute_30'
compute_30 is for version 3, how can it fail while my GPU can run version 5
Is it possible that my code detected my intel graphics card instead of my Nvidia GPU? if that's the case, is it possible to change its detection?
Support for compute_30 has been removed for versions after CUDA 10.2. So if you are using nvcc make sure to use this flag to target the correct architecture in the build system for darknet
-gencode=arch=compute_50,code=sm_50
You may also need to use this one to avoid a warning of architectures are deprecated.
-Wno-deprecated-gpu-targets
I added the following:
makefiletemp = open('Makefile','r+')
list_of_lines = makefiletemp.readlines()
list_of_lines[15] = list_of_lines[14]
list_of_lines[16] = "ARCH= -gencode arch=compute_35,code=sm_35 \\\n"
makefiletemp = open('Makefile','w')
makefiletemp.writelines(list_of_lines)
makefiletemp.close()
right before the
#Compile Darknet
!make
command. That seemed to work!
I have tried to compile a code using CUDA 9.0 toolkit on NVIDIA Tesla P100 graphic card (Ubuntu version 16.04) and CUBLAS library is used in the code. For compilation, I have used the following command to compile “my_program.cu”
nvcc -std=c++11 -L/usr/local/cuda-9.0/lib64 my_program.cu -o mu_program.o -lcublas
But, I have got the following error:
nvlink error: Undefined reference to 'cublasCreate_v2’in '/tmp/tmpxft_0000120b_0000000-10_my_program’
As I have already linked the library path in the compilation command, why do I still get the error. Please help me to solve this error.
It seems fairly evident that you are trying to use the CUBLAS library in device code. This is different than ordinary host usage and requires special compilation/linking steps. You need to:
compile for the correct device architecture (must be cc3.5 or higher)
use relocatable device code linking
link in the cublas device library (in addition to the cublas host library)
link in the CUDA device runtime library
Use a CUDA toolkit prior to CUDA 10.0
The following additions to your compile command line should get you there:
nvcc -std=c++11 my_program.cu -o my_program.o -lcublas -arch=sm_60 -rdc=true -lcublas_device -lcudadevrt
The above assumes you are actually using a proper install of CUDA 9.0. The CUBLAS device library was deprecated and is now removed from newer CUDA toolkits (see here).
I'm working with CUDA 6.5 on a machine with a GTX Titan card (compute capability 3.5). I'm building my code with just -gencode=arch=compute_30,code=sm_30 -gencode=arch=compute_35,code=sm_35 - and when I link my binary, nvlink says:
nvlink warning : SM Arch ('sm_20') not found in '/local/eyalroz/src/foo/CMakeFiles/tester.dir/src/./tester_generated_main.cu.o'
Why is it warning me about that? Do I need sm_20 for something I'm not aware of? If it's merely about the lack of lower compute capability support, why not sm_10 as well? (Also, how do I turn off the warning, if it's gratuitous?)
The issue was identified in CUDA 6.5 and has been rectified I believe in CUDA 7.5. Using the latest version of CUDA should make those warnings go away.
Just ignore it
i'm on cuda RC8 and have the same issue:
nvlink warning : SM Arch ('sm_20') not found in 'cudainfo.o'

I'm having trouble installing CUDA 7.0 (to use with TensorFlow) on a workstation with the Nvidia Quadro FX 3800. I'm wondering if this is because the GPU is no longer supported.
Installation of the driver (340.96) seems to work fine:
$ sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96.run
Installation of the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64
(version: 340.96) is now complete. Please update your XF86Config or
xorg.conf file as appropriate; see the file
/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README.txt for details.
However, I think I may be having trouble with the following:
$ ./cuda_7.0.28_linux.run --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-76-generic
The driver installation is unable to locate the kernel source. Please make sure
that the kernel source packages are installed and set up correctly. If you know
that the kernel source packages are installed and set up correctly, you may pass
the location of the kernel source with the '--kernel-source-path' flag.

Is the installation failure due to CUDA dropping support for this graphics card?
I followed the link trail: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus > https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-legacy-gpus > http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_3800_us.html and I would have thought the Quadro FX 3800 supported CUDA (at least at the beginning).
Yes, the Quadro FX 3800 GPU is no longer supported by CUDA 7.0 and beyond.
The last CUDA version that supported that GPU was CUDA 6.5.
This answer and this answer may be of interest. Your QFX 3800 is a compute capability 1.3 device.
If you review the release notes that come with CUDA 7, you will find a notice of the elimination of support for these earlier GPUs. Likewise, the newer CUDA driver versions also don't support those GPUs.
I updated my cuda toolkit from 5.5 to 6.5. Then following command
nvcc -arch=sm_52
starts to give me an error
nvcc fatal : Value 'sm_52' is not defined for option 'gpu-architecture'
Is this a bug ? or nvcc 6.5 does not support Maxwell virtual architecture.
CUDA Toolkit 6.5 was released before sm_52 architecture came into production.
After the arrival of sm_52 architecture, an update to CUDA 6.5 was released which enabled nvcc to generate code for sm_52.
Make sure you download the newer version of CUDA Toolkit 6.5.
P.S: I would rather use the latest version of toolkit (currently 7.0).
