Please remind us of this when you write.  We don't know everyone in your
group at Purdue and it would simplify our figuring out what could cause
the weird problems you encounter.

This is a general issue of interoperability between multiple libraries
that want to use CUDA.  How can we find out if someone else has already
called cudaSetDevice?
