通过cuda-gdb调用内核失败？

Question

有没有办法使用 cuda-gdb 调用内核故障？我试过单步执行内核代码并设置无效的索引位置、变量的奇数值，但在从错误设置继续后我无法触发 "kernel Execution Failed"。

有谁知道通过 cuda-gdb 执行此操作的正确方法吗？我已经通读了 cuda-gdb 文档两次，但如果可能的话，可能会错过一些关于如何实现这一点的线索。如果有人知道任何 tools/techniques 将不胜感激，谢谢。

我在 CentOS 7 上，我的设备的计算能力是 2.1。请参阅下面的 uname -a 命令的输出。

Is there a way to invoke kernel failure using cuda-gdb?

是的，这是可能的。这是一个完整的示例：

$ cat t678.cu
#include <stdio.h>
__global__ void kernel(int *data){

  int idx = 0;  // line 4
  idx += data[0];
  int tval = data[idx];
  data[1] =  tval;
}

int main(){

  int *d_data;
  cudaMalloc(&d_data, 32*sizeof(int));
  cudaMemset(d_data, 0, 32*sizeof(int));
  kernel<<<1,1>>>(d_data);
  cudaDeviceSynchronize();
  cudaError_t err = cudaGetLastError();
  if (err != cudaSuccess) printf("kernel fail %s\n", cudaGetErrorString(err));
}
$ nvcc -g -G -o t678 t678.cu
$ cuda-gdb ./t678

CUDA Exception: Device Illegal Address
The exception was triggered in device 0.

Program received signal CUDA_EXCEPTION_10, Device Illegal Address.

在上面的cuda-gdb输出中可以看到，将idx变量设置为较大的值后，导致执行时出现index-out-of-bounds（非法地址）错误调试器中的以下行：

  int tval = data[idx];
