Just check at run time. There aren't such huge differences necessitating an 
entirely different application. At most you probably have different kernels for 
the two architectures. You can then ship both, and then just use the ones 
corresponding to the detected GPU. Even if host side code also needs to be 
different it still isn't a problem. There's no real need for a special plan 
class in this particular situation.
