The programming guide to using PTX (Parallel Thread Execution) and ISA (Instruction Set Architecture). This document describes PTX, a low-level parallel thread execution virtual machine and instruction set architecture (ISA). PTX exposes the GPU as a data-parallel computing device. Driven by the insatiable market demand for real-time, high-definition 3D graphics, the programmable GPU has evolved into a highly parallel, multithreaded, many-core processor with tremendous computational horsepower and very high memory bandwidth. The GPU is especially well-suited to address problems that can be expressed as data-parallel computations - the same program is executed on many data elements in parallel - with high arithmetic intensity - the ratio of arithmetic operations to memory operations. Because the same program is executed for each data element, there is a lower requirement for sophisticated flow control; and because it is executed on many data elements and has high arithmetic intensity, t
