Debugging Using the<br />

Device Emulation Mode<br />

An executable compiled in device emulation mode<br />

(nvcc -deviceemu) runs completely on the host<br />

using the <strong>CUDA</strong> runtime<br />

No need of any device and <strong>CUDA</strong> driver<br />

Each device thread is emulated with a host thread<br />

When running in device emulation mode, one can:<br />

Use host native debug support (breakpoints, inspection,<br />

etc.)<br />

Access any device-specific data from host code and viceversa<br />

Call any host function from device code (e.g. printf) and<br />

vice-versa<br />

Detect deadlock situations caused by improper usage of<br />

__syncthreads<br />
