当我在cuda-gdb中启动程序时，我得到一个输出：
[New Thread 0x7fffef8ea700 (LWP 8003)]
[New Thread 0x7fffe35b2700 (LWP 8010)]
[New Thread 0x7fffe2db1700 (LWP 8011)]
[New Thread 0x7fffe25b0700 (LWP 8012)]
我不明白为什么在开始时会启动这些多线程。我没有在多线程模式下启动我的程序。我正在使用MPI，但我开始了一个过程。那么，这些线程来自哪里？
这不会以任何方式影响我的调试过程。只是我不明白这意味着什么。

您看到的这些线程是由CUDA运行时库创建的，并不与cuda-gdb本身直接相关。如果您使用gdb运行相同的代码，您还会看到相同的消息。
如果您想了解这些线程正在做什么或它们来自何处，只需使用-g标志编译代码，在代码中设置断点（例如，在CUDA内核启动），运行它，然后在gdb控制台中运行以下命令：
thread apply all backtrace
此命令与gdb的backtrace具有相同的效果，除了它将显示程序创建的所有线程的回溯。
就我而言，我在启动程序后收到以下消息：
[New Thread 0x7fffeffb3700 (LWP 7141)]
[New Thread 0x7fffef731700 (LWP 7142)]
[New Thread 0x7fffeef30700 (LWP 7143)]
当我在gdb控制台中运行上述命令时，我看到以下输出：
(gdb) thread apply all backtrace

正如您可以验证的那样，在开头创建的所有线程都匹配线程地址和LWP（轻量级进程）ID。你可以看到所有这些都来自libcuda.so.1。
在cuda-gdb中，您可以看到更详细的信息：
(cuda-gdb) thread apply all bt

答案 1 :(得分：-2)
我不知道究竟是什么，但我认为cuda-gdb需要创建多个线程来捕获错误/异常，如：内存冲突或银行冲突。
