A. For architectures up to and including Pascal:

1. Go to https://github.com/NVlabs/NVBit/releases/tag/1.7 and download nvbit-Linux-x86_64-1.7-1.tar.bz2.

2. Unzip using the following command:

bunzip2 nvbit-Linux-x86_64-1.7-1.tar.bz2

3. Untar using the following command:

tar -xvf nvbit-Linux-x86_64-1.7-1.tar

4. Change directory to nvbit_release/test-apps

cd nvbit_release/test-apps

5. Check that in vectoradd/Makefile -arch=sm_60

6. Run make

7. Run ./vectoradd/vectoradd
   It should run without any error.

8. Change directory to nvbit_release/tools

9. In the Makefile of each subdirectory, replace the line ARCH?=all by ARCH=all

10. Run make
    This will build all the NVBit tools

11. To run the instr_count tool on vectoradd, execute the following from nvbit_release/ directory:

LD_PRELOAD=./tools/instr_count/instr_count.so ./test-apps/vectoradd/vectoradd

B. For post-Pascal architectures:

1. Go to https://github.com/NVlabs/NVBit/releases/tag/v1.8 and download nvbit-Linux-x86_64-1.8.tar.bz2.

2. Unzip using the following command:

bunzip2 nvbit-Linux-x86_64-1.8.tar.bz2

3. Untar using the following command:

tar -xvf nvbit-Linux-x86_64-1.8.tar

4. Change directory to nvbit_release_x86_64/test-apps

cd nvbit_release_x86_64/test-apps

5. Check that in Makefile and vectoradd/Makefile ARCH=sm_80

6. Run make

7. Run ./vectoradd/vectoradd
   It should run without any error.

8. Change directory to nvbit_release_x86_64/tools

9. In the Makefile of each subdirectory, replace the line ARCH?=all by ARCH=all

10. Run make
    This will build all the NVBit tools.

11. To run the instr_count tool on vectoradd, execute the following from nvbit_release_x86_64/ directory:

LD_PRELOAD=./tools/instr_count/instr_count.so ./test-apps/vectoradd/vectoradd
