I am new to CUDA. When I multiply the 1024x1024 matrix, and launch a kernel with:
multiplyKernel << <dim3(32,32, 1), dim3(32, 32, 1) >> >(dev_c, dev_a, dev_b, size);
But when I multiply a 2048 x 2048 matrix, with dim3(64,64,1) I get this error:
cudaDeviceSynchronize returned error code 4 after launching addKernel!
unspecified launch failure
From tinkering with the code, I think that the error is in this statement
result += a[row * size + ind] * b[col + size * ind];
in the part
b[col+size*ind]
If I take that out, I don't get a kernel launch error (just the wrong answer, obviously). I cannot figure out what's wrong. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. I am using Visual Studio 2013. I am using the debugger, but this does not help me find the error.
This seems to be a similar problem: cudaDeviceSynchronize returned error code 4 after launching
many thanks, here is the code:

int col = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
if (row > size || col > size) return;
// target field in 1-D
int z = row * size + col;
int result = 0;
for (int ind = 0; ind < size ; ++ind) {
result += a[row * size + ind] * b[col + size * ind];

c[z] = result;
