Hello everyone,

i am quite new to OpenFOAM. My current task is to implement part of a custom solver in CUDA. Basically some particle cloud is calculated on the GPU, while the CPU solver handles the rest.

Now as a start, I would like to be able to compile a simple .so library with CUDA code as external C and be able to call it with a function object. So basically let the GPU say hello.

I have read probably every thread that covers this or similar problems but was not able to find an answer. This is what my files look right now:
the following is in the folder customLibrary

customLibrary.cu
#include "cuda.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "hello.cu"

hello.cu
void helloWorld()
{
std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
}

hello.H
#ifdef __cplusplus
#include <iostream>
extern "C"
#endif
void helloWorld();

files
hello.H
LIB = $(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libcustomLibrary

options
EXE_INC = \
-I/usr/local/cuda/include
LIB_LIBS =

the following is in the main folder of the solver
Allwmake
cd customLibrary
wclean
nvcc --shared -Xcompiler -fPIC -o $FOAM_LIBBIN/libcustomLibrary.so customLibrary.cu -I/usr/local/cuda/include -L/usr/local/cuda/lib -lcudart
wmake libso
cd ..
wmake

solidParticleInterFoam.C
...
#include "hello.H"
... some code
helloWorld();


this setup seems to compile the library with no visible errors. But when I start a simulation I get the following error:
symbol lookup error: solidParticleInterFoam: undefined symbol: _Z10helloWorldv

If anyone could help me with this or has done something similar, I would highly appreciate any help.

Many thanks and all the best!

Hello Lucas how are you

Did you manage to solve that problem? You use CUDA with which version of OpenFoam?
