cuda::device::compute_architecture_t Struct Reference

A numeric designator of an architectural generation of CUDA devices. More...

Public Member Functions
const char *	name () const
constexpr bool	is_valid () const noexcept

Public Attributes
unsigned	major
	A compute_capability_t has a "major" and a "minor" number, with "major" indicating the architecture; so this struct only has a "major" number.

Detailed Description

A numeric designator of an architectural generation of CUDA devices.

Note

See this listing of nVIDIA GPU microarchitectures; cf. compute_capability_t .

Member Function Documentation

is_valid()

constexpr bool cuda::device::compute_architecture_t::is_valid ( ) const

noexcept

Returns

true if major is indeed a number of a known/recognized NVIDIA GPU microarchitecture.

name()

const char* cuda::device::compute_architecture_t::name

(

)

const

Returns

the name NVIDIA has given this microarchitecture

Note

NVIDIA names their microarchitecture after famous scientists like "Tesla", "Pascal" etc.
