With texture reference being removed from CUDA 12 version onwards, build gives errors like DeviceMemory.cu(160): error: texture is not a template

[Abhishekghosh1998]

My system specifications:
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
CUDA Version: 12.2

I tried the following steps:

$ git clone "https://github.com/utcs-scea/altis"
$ cd altis/
$ ./setup.sh

The errors are because NVIDIA has dropped the support for texture references from CUDA 12.0, mentioned here.

Thanks! We plan to update the suite for CUDA 12 soon.

@BDHU Hi, any updates on this? Thanks
