Debugging GPGPU applications

The biggest challenge with GPGPU applications is that of debugging a kernel. CUDA comes with a simulator for this reason, which allows one to run and debug a kernel on a CPU. OpenCL allows one to run a kernel on a CPU without modification, although this may not get the exact same behavior (and bugs) as when run on a specific GPU device.

A slightly more advanced method involves the use of a dedicated debugger such as Nvidia's Nsight, which comes in versions both for Visual Studio (https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-nsight-visual-studio-edition) and Eclipse (https://developer.nvidia.com/nsight-eclipse-edition).

According to the marketing blurb on the Nsight website:

NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio Edition brings GPU computing into Microsoft Visual Studio (including multiple instances of VS2017). This application development environment for GPUs allows you to build, debug, profile and trace heterogeneous compute, graphics, and virtual reality applications built with CUDA...
