Recent days we are trying to use Amazon GPU instances.But their graphic card NVIDIA GRID K520 supports only cuda 5.5. From installation documentation of arrayfire minimum version of cuda is 6.5.Need help to compile arrayfire with cuda 5.5.

3What about that is inconsistent? It is just a simple limitation... You will have to wait for newer drivers to come out I guess. – Michal Hosala Jan 20 '15 at 17:02

1Right but then your question should ask for help with compiling arrayfire for CUDA 5.5 and not about "_these_ inconsistencies". – Michal Hosala Jan 21 '15 at 08:29

You should be able to compile ArrayFire using CUDA 5.5. In fact I was just able to do so on my MacBook Pro. All you have to do is change the CUDA_VERSION to 5.5 in the CMake options.
You should also be able to update the CUDA Toolkit on the EC2 instance. I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't be able to update the driver and install the newest CUDA Toolkit on the machine.

Thank you for reply i tried to get new driver for EC2 gcard but without success.There are not current support.According to arrayfire there are a lot of compilation errors if you change CUDA_VERSION to 5.5 at list if you use last release. – user10333 Mar 11 '15 at 08:46

Can you make a post on the google groups listed in my answer? StackOverflow is not a good platform for this type of back and forth. Make sure you post your EC2 configuration so I can recreate the errors. I will update the answer with what we find. – Umar Arshad Mar 12 '15 at 01:05
