Getting NVCC Working with the Compiler
======================================

It is worth noting that not all compilers can be used together with NVCC.
Here is a list of possible combinations, partially based on [1]:

    ```
    CUDA Toolkit Version | Supported GCC Versions | Supported Clang Versions
    ---------------------+------------------------+-------------------------
     12.6                | 6 - 13                 | 7 - 18
     12.5                | 6 - 13                 | 7 - 17

     10.1 Update 1       | 5 - 8                  | 3.8 - 8
     10.1                | 5 - 8                  | 3.8 - 7
     10.0                | 5 - 7                  | 3.8 - 6.0
      9.2                | 5 - 7                  | 3.8 - 5.0
      9.1                | 5 - 6                  | 3.8 - 4.0
      9.0                | 5 - 6                  | 3.8 - 3.9

    ```

*) g++ 11.0 and 11.1 works fine, g++ 11.2 or later causes failures when
   compiling certain STL headers with nvcc

Installing the CUDA Code Samples
=================================

The CUDA Code Samples are no longer distributed with the CUDA Toolkit
but in the github repository https://github.com/nvidia/cuda-samples

They are also available in the nvidia-cuda-samples package which has
dependencies on all -dev packages needed to build them.

For more information on the Samples, please see
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-code-samples
