[Bf-committers] How much ram is needed for compiling cuda kernels ?

[Marko Radojcic]

Thanks. This is the answer I was looking for.

My GT 430 has 2.1 compute capability so 1.3 is not needed for me, and
apparently I didn't force the sm_21 value properly.

What shoud I edit to force compiling only 2.1 cuda kernel ?
I obviously didn't properly understand the wiki page explaining it ...

I am using cmake, but I can work with scons if the setting is easier to
achieve...
