Answer 1

Actually, this issue is only specific to some old NVIDIA GPUs(like "Quadro 400", "GeForce GT220", or "GeForce GT 330M", etc).

On Liam Kim's setup, cuda-gdb should work fine by set environment variable "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES", and let cuda-gdb running on Tesla C2070 GPUs specifically. I.e $export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 (or 2) - the exact CUDA devices index could be found by running cuda sample - "deviceQuery".

And now, this issue has been fixed, the fix would be availble for CUDA developers in the next CUDA release(it will be posted out around early July, 2014).

This is internal cuda-gdb bug. You should report a bug.

Can you try installing CUDA toolkit from the package on NVIDIA site?
