I think it just allocates the maximum number. Previously I wondered how I could find this maximum number, it is stored in generator.generators_per_block (=512 on my card).
So I guess if my matrix is bigger than 512 I would have to execute the kernel more than once and have it work on different chunks (each of size 512) of the array? Is there any helper function for this? On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 4:49 PM, Anthony LaTorre <[email protected]> wrote: >> Also, what is missing from the docs in your opinion?
