Radix Sort fails for 40M elements on GeForce GTX 470

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From an email to the CUDPP Google Group:

Hi Mark, 
What OS? 
Ans: CentOS 5.2 
What do you mean by "otherwise"?  In what circumstances do you get the 
error, and in what circumstances does it run? 
Ans: When I run radixSort -n=40000000, the error appears. 
When you say "change the display card", do you mean physically, or 
using the display control panel? 
Ans:  Change it physically, only one display card in the machine. 
Regards, 
Lemon

I believe this is fixed now that I have replaced the radix sort implementation 
with thrust::sort.

Hello,

Do you have any schedule to release 2.0 version?
Before Oct or After Oct. 
As I am still waiting the GTX470 to do the sorting. 
Any more information can you provide?

Many Thanks.

Regards,
Lemon

Most likely well before October. Meanwhile you could try getting the trunk from 
svn.
