build issues for compiling GPU sdk example code on Windows

[Irfan5EBE]

Hi,

I have installed Cuda toolkit 11.3, boost and Python and tryng to build sdk reference examples. I am able to succesfully build all examples except Effects and Transitions(SDK_CrossDissolve,SDK_ProcAmp and Vignette ) which uses After Effects. One observed error is 

Error MSB6006 "cmd.exe" exited with code 1. SDK_ProcAmp (GPU)

Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

I've asked for help from GPU specialists.

Hey,

Can you post/send the entire output?

There are plenty of reasons for  Error MSB6006 which needs the entire build log to be identified.

Thanks

Please find the details error log:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB6006 "cmd.exe" exited with code 1. Vignette (GPU) C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets 209

Thanks for the Error Log Ifran,

I am looking for the output log which is a part of the output window in Visual Studio.

There are log statements and warnings which do not make it to the Error log which seems to be crucial in this scenario

Hi Pusingha,

Please find more log information. One observation from my side setting up -arch=sm_30.

Let me know how to modify -arch=sm_nn

Hi Irfan,

Sorry for the delay.

We could isolate this problem to NVIDIA dropping support for arch 3.0 from CUDA toolkit 11.0

There are 2 possible solutions to this :-

1) Use CUDA toolkit 10.x for building

2) Edit SDK_XXX.vcxproj in Examples\Projects\GPUVideoFilter\SDK_ProcAmp\Win\ in any text editor
You are looking for 
<ItemGroup>
<CustomBuild Include="..\SDK_XXX.cu">
....
</CustomBuild>

</ItemGroup>

Remove '-arch=sm_30' from the <Command> tag.

It should resolve the problem for you.

Please feel free to reply/DM me if you still run into the problem

Hi Pusingha,

I have already tried both methods but its not working.

1. Installed CUDA toolkit v 10.2

2. Replaced '-arch=sm_30' with 'arch=sm_70' as the GPU card Nvidia 2080 Ti.

and 

3. Deleted '-arch=sm_30' 

[Puneet Singhal]

Let me DM you around this

[Irfan5EBE]

Please let me know if there's any update on the issue.

Hey,

I sent a DM (direct message) about this. Did you not receive it?

Let me send one again. I will include my email so we can help you resolve the problem

Hi Puneet,

Please let me know there’s an update of GPU reference Premiere Pro and After Effects sdk examples.

I tried to compile AE SDK_Invert_ProcAmp but still similar issues are observed.

Please find the details environment, tools and command line parameters used to compilation.

Visual Studio Professional 2017 version 15.9.27

system configuration : Intel(R)Core(TM) i9-9900KF CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz, 64 GB RAM, Nvidia 2080 Ti

After Effects : AEMarch2021SDK-Win

CUDA toolkit 10.1 Update 2

Boost 1.76.0

Reference example : SDK_Invert_ProcAmp

Custom build for SDK_Invert_ProcAmp_Kernel.cu

rem Correct compilation is dependant on nvcc being installed correctly, from the CUDA SDK

"$(CUDA_PATH)\bin\nvcc.exe" -arch=sm_30 -use_fast_math -c -ccbin "$(VCInstallDir)Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\x64" -D_MBCS -Xcompiler /MD,/EHsc,/W3,/nologo,/Zi -I"$(CUDA_SDK_BASE_PATH)\include" -I./ -I"$(ProjectDir)..\..\..\GPUUtils" -I$(BOOST_BASE_PATH) -o "$(IntDir)%(Filename).obj" "$(ProjectDir)..\%(Filename).cu"
