I have tested this piece of code on my system (also Microsoft Visual
Studio 10) and I've got the error message
CUDAFunctionLoad::cmpf: The kernel compilation failed. Consider
setting the option "ShellOutputFunction"->Print to display the
compiler error message. >>
I cannot say more to this because I am not a C programmer.
I wanted to use simple CUDA commands like CUDADot but they are slower
the regular commands, so I do not yet see the point in GPU computing
with Mathematica.
Best,
