I don't think this is a side effect. This is how you would use the cuda driver. any and I say any function you want from the cuda drivers needs as prerequisite the cuInit(). we save to the user one (important) step, less hassle (did I import autoinit ?) and functions that try to initialize over and over the driver (doesn't harm but .. hey I pay those cpu cycles :P) What the other users say ?
