The brand new Cuda WSL 2 runtime turget

[PavelSosin-320]

I just installed and ran Cuda WSL 2 drivers and CUda10 toolkit for CentOS 7 on top of Microsoft Centos 7 distro (1.99$ in MS Store). There is the path to install and run Cuda applications using Ubuntu 20.04 WSL 2 distro too. Although the Nvidia documentation references only Ubuntu distro my choice was CentOS due to better RH stability, documentation, and support. After solving some minor issues related to CentOS 7 distro itself I succeded to run the Cuda smoke-test - clock. The downside of CentOS is that it is Server-side OS with DevOps oriented automation and samples build runs as cd /usr/local/cuda/samples/0_Simple/clock and make .... The sample source files are installed inside CentOS distro /local/cuda/samples and accessible using Notepad only. RedHat and CentOS are not about desktop GUI I think it will be fine to provide plugin which allows usage of this emerging technology and to develop Cuda applications using VSCode.

Hello, To be honest with you, after Clion started working nicely with CUDA (and now even officially supported), I lost interest into making CUDA fully supported by VS Code. Also, it is a gigantic task to do anything more than this syntax + snippet plugin (like Intellisense, supporting WSL, etc...).

Maybe someone will be willing to create another better plugin or participate in this other project.
