How to use Intel C++ Compiler with CUDA nvcc?

Question

I'm using NVIDIA CUDA 4.1 on Microsoft Visual studio 2008. I also have Intel Parallel Studio XE 2011 Installed.

By default, NVIDIA's C Compiler nvcc.exe uses Microsoft's C Compiler cl.exe to compile its C code.

How can I change the settings so that nvcc uses Intel's C Compiler icl.exe.

Unfortunately you cannot (or at least its HIGHLY unrecommended). The only compiler supported on windows is visual studio. Unless something has changed and they now support intel's compilers i wouldn't suggest using them
