I am new to CUDA programming and don't know much about it. Can you please tell me what does 'CUDA compute capability' mean? When I use the following code on my university server, it showed me the following result.
for (device = 0; device < deviceCount; ++device)
{
cudaDeviceProp deviceProp;
cudaGetDeviceProperties(&deviceProp, device);
printf("\nDevice %d has compute capability %d.%d.\n", device, deviceProp.major, deviceProp.minor);
}
RESULT:
Device 0 has compute capability 4199672.0.
Device 1 has compute capability 4199672.0.
Device 2 has compute capability 4199672.0.
.
.
cudaGetDeviceProperties returns two fields major and minor. Can you please tell me what is this 4199672.0. means?
