This option is required to have <code>nvcc</code> generate device code here, but it is also a handy way to avoid renaming source files in larger projects. The <code>–dc</code> option tells <code>nvcc</code> to generate device code for later linking.</p><p>You may also need to specify the target architecture to tell <code>nvcc</code> to target on a compatible SM architecture using the option -arch.

The CUDA <a href="classtf_1_1Runtime.html" class="m-doc">Runtime</a> API library is automatically linked when we use <code>nvcc</code> for linking, but we must explicitly link it (<code>-lcudart</code>) when using another linker.</p></aside></section></section>
