Describe the bug
My attempts to run nanovdb/openvdb with cuda have so far been unsuccessful. I build openvdb with -DOPENVDB_BUILD_NANOVDB=ON -DNANOVDB_USE_CUDA=ON
but for the example ex_raytrace_level_set
the rendering code within nanovdb.cu
(around line 85) is not properly executed and my rendered images are blank. Changing nothing but whether NANOVDB_USE_CUDA
is defined causes the rendering to happen properly.
I dug into the backend of this rendering code a bit (namely in ex_util/ComputePrimitives.h
) and noticed that none of the code in the __CUDACC__
blocks were being run. I tried #define
-ing this directive in the main file for the example, but got a bunch of errors about threadIdX
and such not being declared in ComputePrimitives.h
--it doesn't seem like those are declared anywhere in the codebase which had me scratching my head a bit.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but if it isn't and this is user error then some more clear documentation would be greatly helpful. I wasn't able to find much about enabling cuda in the code.
