nvcc是否支持" -pthread"选项内部?

标签: cuda pthreads nvcc

我尝试使用nvcc来构建以下多线程程序,该程序由" gcc -pthread a.c"之前:

$ cat a.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void *myThreadFun(void *vargp)
{
    printf("myThreadFun \n");
    return NULL;
}

int main()
{
    pthread_t tid;
    printf("Before Thread\n");
    pthread_create(&tid, NULL, myThreadFun, NULL);
    pthread_join(tid, NULL);
    printf("After Thread\n");
    exit(0);
}

执行&#34; nvcc -pthread a.c&#34;:

$ nvcc -pthread a.c
nvcc fatal   : Unknown option 'pthread'

topic表示nvcc支持在不使用-pthread选项的情况下构建多线程程序。我的测试似乎也是正确的:

$ nvcc a.c
nvcc warning : The 'compute_20', 'sm_20', and 'sm_21' architectures are deprecated, and may be removed in a future release (Use -Wno-deprecated-gpu-targets to suppress warning).
$ ldd a.out
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcff79e000)
    librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 (0x00007fd4f5a43000)
    libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fd4f5825000)
    libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fd4f5621000)
    libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fd4f5299000)
    libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fd4f4f86000)
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fd4f4d6f000)
    libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd4f49cb000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd4f5c4b000)

但我无法从nvcc官方document找到证据。任何人都可以帮忙确认一下吗?

没有nvcc不支持pthread选项。事实上,它对pthreads一无所知。 pthread依赖性来自CUDA运行时库中的依赖项。它与代码中的内容无关。 nvcc甚至无法编译该代码,它会传递给您的主机编译器。 nvcc是一个编译器驱动程序。它只是使用其他编译器来控制编译。在这种情况下,主机C ++编译器。

你可以看到实际发生的事情:

此处,样板链接阶段包括CUDA运行时库和pthreads库。

如果您希望明确主机编译器,请传递-Xcompiler="-pthread"
