alpaka: Build errors with CUDA gcc 7.3

Dear Developers,

I’m having some issues building alpaka with CUDA. I am building alpaka in a conda environment which has gcc 7.3 and am using Centos7. I am using OpenMP 4.5 and have tried to use CUDA 9.2 and 10.0. I have no problems building using OpenMP.

I currently run the following

git clone https://github.com/alpaka-group/alpaka.git
cd alpaka
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. 
make

I turn off building with cuda using the cmake flag and have no problems. Are you able to reproduce this error? I’ve attached the output below. build.log

Thanks

John

I think, we solved the problem for @jcob95 and can close the issue.

@alpaka-group/alpaka-developers Following of this discussion, there was a discussion in a VC, if we want to provide official Alpaka development containers. The result is that containers will probably become more and more important for HPC, but we do not want to provide official containers at the moment. The reason is that we have limited developer resources and currently lack in-house container users. This is not a general rejection of containers, but without need, the priority is currently too low to implement it.

Hi, the container worked perfectly with the GPU backend on our machines. Thanks for making the container.

No Problem 😃

@jcob95 Does the container works? @SimeonEhrig my apologies other projects have distracted me from this, I will try the container as soon as I can.

The container is ready. Unfortunately I have some problems with the registry and can not upload the image. Instead I uploaded it to our HZDR owncloud. I have sent you an email with the access data and a curl command so that you can easily download the image on your cluster.

Theoretical, it should be possible to install CUDA via conda. There is a conda package: https://anaconda.org/anaconda/cudatoolkit

But in the past, I had some problems with the conda package. My workaround is using the CUDA and GCC version provide by the module environment system of the HPC. But this is a lazy workaround. At the moment, I trying to find out if it possible to compile Alpaka with conda packages.
