Hi Richard, Thanks again for the quick response. I am able to compile CUDA programs from the SDK, so I will try to compile from the Fs source per the advice that you provided and see what happens. Will let you know how it goes!

I only have one Linux box, running CentOS 7 (which isn't officially supported by Freesurfer - I had to tweak CFLAGS quite a bit too) with CUDA 7.5. I wouldn't say the process is very involved to compile from source, but I did have to tweak things a bit. Specifically, after running ./setup_configure, I had to open up the configure script, and find the section which looks like: ############################################################# # Nvidia CUDA enabling ############################################################ CUDA_DIR="" with_cuda="" And comment out the with_cuda="" line. Then I run configure with --enable-fermi-gpu --with-cuda="/usr/local/cuda" (plus some other options for my machine). Note that for me: $ which nvcc /usr/local/cuda-7.5/bin/nvcc > Also, would you mind sending me an example binary (e.g. mri_ca_register_cuda) > just so I cant test it myself and rule out whether this is just an issue with > the way our GPU is configured?

I can do, but there's a lot of things which could go wrong. Are you able to compile and run the sample CUDA programs which NVIDIA supplies as part of the SDK? If you haven't tried that yet, it would be a better place to start. > Thanks again for your help! And hopefully this thread will help others > interested in updating their gpu-capabilities with Freesurfer. Indeed - one Francis Thomas @arizona.edu was asking similar questions a few months ago. I'm afraid I'm not doing any extra GPU porting right now - I've been getting concerned about potential drift between the CPU and GPU pipelines, and trying to come up with a better way around the problem.
