Why doesn't CMake find Boost? - cmake

i try to use Boost unit test framework to test my static library but CMake cannot find Boost in spite of BOOST_ROOT, CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH, CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH are set before call to find_package. Actually i've tried a lot of options based on the answers to similar question but still without any success.
cmake version:3.6.1

How could I make it work please? Besides, Does g.sync() have big harms to the program performance, or is the impact travial?
The cooperative groups are not an issue, IMHO. That's just something requiring a recent version of CUDA. As for your linking trouble - I think it must be some sort of flag mess. I'll suggest an alternative CMakeLists.txt, which itself is not perfect, but is more appropriate for CMake versions of recent years. It also has a bunch of suggestions for you in comments:

You need to add OpenCV binary path with DLLs to your PATH BEFORE CLion start.
I do it from script:

#echo off

getting error in running cmake std Tutorial step 2 example

I am totally new to cmake and its syntax .But fortunately I am able to run the cmake tutorial step 1 as per the introductions mention on below links :
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/guide/tutorial/index.html
But I am totally stucked at step 2 project to run using cmake.
I have created the step 2 project and understand the syntax to link the library for doing square root of a number, But I did not understand how to run this as I am getting below error :
user#server:~/TER_CMAKE/Tutorial/step2_build$ cmake ../step2
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:19 (add_subdirectory):

/home/user/TER_CMAKE/Tutorial/step2/MathFunctions
is already used to build a source directory. It cannot be used to build
source directory
/home/user/TER_CMAKE/Tutorial/step2/MathFunctions
Specify a unique binary directory name.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
The example is available at below location for step 2 under heading Adding a Library (Step 2)..
https://moodle.rrze.uni-erlangen.de/pluginfile.php/14829/mod_resource/content/5/CMakeTutorial.pdf
My intention is to run my example this way
step2_build$ cmake ../step2
step2_build$ cmake --build .
step2_build$ ./Tutorial 121
As I am not sure that is it good to ask this way on this platform ,But as I do not have any other guidance .I am doing this by my own .
Note: I do not wants to use any tool to run my step 2 example.I wants to run everything using command prompt and cmake command only .where I can understand the cmake .
Edit:
Adding my CMakeLists.txt =
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

double delta = x - (result * result);
result = result + 0.5 * delta / result;
std::cout << "Computing sqrt of " << x << " to be " << result << std::endl;
}
return result;
}
In case USE_MYMATH variable is set add_subdirectory(MathFunctions) is invoked twice. You need to decide and remove one of the occurrences on lines 16 and 19 in you CMakeLists.txt.
Two issues I can see:
You're adding the subdirectory "MathFunctions" twice when you configure the build with -DUSE_MYMATH=ON. This is why you are getting "CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:19 (add_subdirectory):"
To fix, remove
#add the MathFunctions Library
add_subdirectory(MathFunctions)
and rely on
if(USE_MYMATH)
add_subdirectory(MathFunctions)
list(APPEND EXTRA_LIBS MathFunctions)
list(APPEND EXTRA_INCLUDES "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/MathFunctions")
endif()
In your CMakeLists.txt file, you are doing
target_include_directories(Tutorial PUBLIC
"${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}"
${EXTRA_LIBS}
)
Instead of
${EXTRA_LIBS}
It should be
${EXTRA_INCLUDES}

The files in Step3 are the expected result if you do everything from Step2.
Can you please compare your files against the ones from Step3 to see if there are any relevant differences?

cooperative_groups::this_grid() causes any CUDA API call to return 'unknown error'

Following the same steps in CUDA samples to launch a kernel and sync across the grid using cooperative_groups::this_grid().sync() causes any CUDA API call to fails. While using
cooperative_groups::this_thread_block().sync() works fine and gives correct results.
I used the following code and CMakeLists.txt (cmake version 3.11.1) to test it using CUDA 10 on TITAN V GPU (Driver Version 410.73) with Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS. The code is also available on github in order to make it easy to reproduce the error.
The code reads an array and then reverses it (from [0 1 2 ... 9] to [9 8 7 ... 0]). In order to do this, each thread reads a single element from the array, sync, and then writes its element to the right destination. The code can be easily modified to ensure that this_thread_block().sync() works fine. Simply change arr_size to be less 1024 and use cg::thread_block barrier = cg::this_thread_block(); instead.

Running this code gives:
unknown error in /home/ahdhn/test_cg/test_cg.cu at line 67
This is the first line that uses cudaMalloc. I made sure that the code is compiled for the correct architecture by querying __CUDA_ARCH__ from the device and the results is 700. Kindly let me know if you spot me doing something wrong in the code or the CMakeLists.txt file.
With external help, the solution that got the code working is to add string(APPEND CMAKE_CUDA_FLAGS " -gencode arch=compute_70,code=sm_70 --cudart shared") after the second set(CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS...... The reason is that I only have libcudadevrt.a under my /usr/local/cuda-10.0/lib64/ and so I have to signal CUDA to link shared/dynamic run-time library since the default is to link to static. string(APPEND CMAKE_CUDA_FLAGS " -gencode arch=compute_70,code=sm_70") after the second set(CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS...... The reason is that the sm_70 flag was not passed to the linker properly.
Additionally, using only CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS will only pass the sm_70 info to the compiler not the linker. While only using CMAKE_NVCC_FLAGS will report error: namespace "cooperative_groups" has no member "grid_group" error.

Why do I need separable compilation?

I have the code shown below. As far as I understood, separable compilation must be turned on when
CUDA device code is separated into .h and .cu files
Use ObjectA's device code into Object's B device code
however, in my main function I am not having any of the cases above. Could you tell me why do I have to set separable compilation for this sample project?

The errors I'm getting are these
EDIT
According to Robert Crovella's post Consume_BitHelper.cu uses BitHelper::clear defined in a separate compilation unit.
Does it mean I have to activate only separate compilation for BitHelper?
Since separate compilation has to do only with device code called from device code.
Why am I getting the mentioned errors when separate compilation is NOT on for cuda_class? (which is the executable created from CMake and is not calling any device code)
Separable compilation has to do with how the compiler handles function calls. In exchange for a little bit of overhead, you get the ability to make true function calls and thus access code from other "compilation units" (i.e. .cu source files).
As GPU programmers are obsessed with performance (particularly the extra registers that get used when separable compilation is enabled) Nvidia made it an option instead of default.
You should only need separable compilation for .cu files that access functions/globals defined in other .cu files.
