maximum number of threads per block

Viewed 14736

i have the following information:

Maximum number of threads per block:           512
Maximum sizes of each dimension of a block:    512 x 512 x 64

does this mean that the maximum number of threads in a 2d thread block is 512x512 which gives me a 262144 threads in every block?
if yes, then is it a good practice to have this number of threads in a a kernel of minimum 256 blocks?
