@sdarwin Same question about the CUDA runner not picking up. This PR is nearly the same as the math one but in an existing CppAlliance repo.

Try now.

[mborland]

Try now.

Picks up now. Thanks.

@mborland here's an idea. Create a repository cppalliance/math-cuda. It will be a mirror of boostorg/math. Modify github actions so that in addition to jobs running from a commit or pull request, there is also a one-week schedule.

In the CUDA gh actions, conditionally verify the current repo is cppalliance/math-cuda. Otherwise, it just skips everything, or exits successfully.

In the CUDA gh actions, git checkout boostorg/math, and push it to the local repo which is cppalliance/math-cuda. In other words, fast-forward merge boostorg/math -> cppalliance/math-cuda.

That will keep the repos in sync. It creates another commit, causing CI to run.

The end result is the CUDA job will run once-per-week from cppalliance/math-cuda

That makes sense. This is green now so I think I've nailed down the correct way to run NVCC with CMake testing. I need to add cmake testing support to math or also figure out with this one how to run it with B2 as well.

NVCC is unsupported by B2 so either support needs to be merged into B2, or Cmake needs to be used
