Answer 1

ComputeCpp, an implementation of the open standard SYCL, outputs SPIR instructions by default, the NVidia OpenCL implementation is not able to consume SPIR instructions. Instead you will need to use ComputeCpp to output PTX instructions that can be understood by the NVidia hardware.

To do this, add the argument "-DCOMPUTECPP_BITCODE=ptx64" when making your cmake call using the sample code project from GitHub.

The FindComputeCpp.cmake file in this project takes this flag and gives the compiler instructions to output PTX. If you would like to do this with your own project you can take the relevant section from the FindComputeCpp.cmake file.
