run arrayfire on ec2 gpu

Recent days we are trying to use Amazon GPU instances.But their graphic card NVIDIA GRID K520 supports only cuda 5.5. From installation documentation of arrayfire minimum version of cuda is 6.5.Need help to compile arrayfire with cuda 5.5.

Solution

  • You should be able to compile ArrayFire using CUDA 5.5. In fact I was just able to do so on my MacBook Pro. All you have to do is change the CUDA_VERSION to 5.5 in the CMake options.

    You should also be able to update the CUDA Toolkit on the EC2 instance. I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't be able to update the driver and install the newest CUDA Toolkit on the machine.
