cuBLAS Level-1 APIs - cublas<t>axpy

Description

This code demonstrates a usage of cuBLAS axpy function to compute a vector-scalar product and adds the result to a vector

A = | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 |
B = | 5.0 | 6.0 | 7.0 | 8.0 |

This function multiplies the vector x by the scalar α and adds it to the vector y overwriting the latest vector with the result.

See documentation for further details.

Supported SM Architectures

CUDA APIs involved

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_axpy_example

Sample example output:

A
1.00 2.00 3.00 4.00
=====
B
5.00 6.00 7.00 8.00
=====
B
7.10 10.20 13.30 16.40
