[llvm-dev] PTX generation from CUDA file for compute capability 1.0 (sm_10)

[ginu jacob via llvm-dev]

Hello Bergström/Eric,

Thanks for the reply. The G80(sm_10) architecture was ported on FPGA by a
group of researchers (http://www.ecs.umass.edu/ece/tessier/andryc-fpt13.pdf).
Our group have some further research interest on this work. I was working
on modifying the Clang-LLVM for a couple of months and achieved the
required changes. But Clang-LLVM is only allowing me to generate PTX for
sm_20, sm_30 etc.While trying to generate PTX for sm_10, it gave

*error: unknown target CPU 'sm_10'*
*fatal error: cannot open file '/tmp/shared-395893.s': No such file or
directory1 error generated.*


The compilation command used is:
clang -Xclang -I$LIBCLC/include/generic -I$LIBCLC/include/ptx
-Dcl_clang_storage_class_specifiers -O3 CudaSource.cu -S -o PtxOutput.ptx
--cuda-gpu-arch=sm_10

Is there any chance that this error being generated from CUDA runtime alone
since I am using CUDA 7.5 which does not support sm_10. If there is any
chance that the error is isolated from LLVM and is only due to CUDA, i have
some hope to use a lower CUDA version. Please let me know your suggestions.

Thank you,
Ginu
