使用long long int的CUDA atomicAdd（）

Question

Any time I try to use atomicAdd with anything other than (*int, int) I get this error:

error: no instance of overloaded function "atomicAdd" matches the argument list

But I need to use a larger data type than int . Is there any workaround here?

My guess is wrong compile flags. You're looking for anything other than int, you should be using sm_12 or higher.

As stated by Robert Crovella the unsigned long long int variable is supported, but the long long int is not.

Used the code from: Beginner CUDA - Simple var increment not working

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

__global__ void inc(unsigned long long int *foo) {
  atomicAdd(foo, 1);
}

int main() {
  unsigned long long int count = 0, *cuda_count;
  cudaMalloc((void**)&cuda_count, sizeof(unsigned long long int));
  cudaMemcpy(cuda_count, &count, sizeof(unsigned long long int), cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
  cout << "count: " << count << '\n';
  inc <<< 100, 25 >>> (cuda_count);
  cudaMemcpy(&count, cuda_count, sizeof(unsigned long long int), cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost);
  cudaFree(cuda_count);
  cout << "count: " << count << '\n';
  return 0;
}

Compiled from Linux: nvcc -gencode arch=compute_12,code=sm_12 -o add add.cu

Result:

count: 0
count: 2500
