# vectorAdd_nvrtc - Vector Addition with libNVRTC

## Description

This CUDA Driver API sample uses NVRTC for runtime compilation of vector addition kernel. Vector addition kernel demonstrated is the same as the sample illustrating Chapter 3 of the programming guide.

## Key Concepts

CUDA Driver API, Vector Addition, Runtime Compilation
