Hi Harshit,
Is it possible to update this for CUDA 10? This is really awesome btw.

Hi Harshit,

Not anytime soon , but will update if i try

The default for Google Colab has been updated to:

nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2019 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Sun_Jul_28_19:07:16_PDT_2019
Cuda compilation tools, release 10.1, V10.1.243

The only two lines required now are the last two:

!pip install git+git://github.com/andreinechaev/nvcc4jupyter.git
%load_ext nvcc_plugin

Hi Harshit,
Is there any extension to profile the Cuda code?

No i havent used one yet as per my usage

@merced317 Thanks a lot for pointing it out here!

This works! Thank you

- !pip install git+git://github.com/andreinechaev/nvcc4jupyter.git 
+ !pip install git+https://github.com/andreinechaev/nvcc4jupyter.git

⏫ use this for install plugin if you are getting error

thanks u @zishugshan !!!

thank you (y)

i am using this code on google colab 12.2 version to run the CUDA C code but when i run the sample code you provided I get the following error
