NppGpuComputeCapability nppGetGpuComputeCapability

(

)

What CUDA compute model is supported by the default CUDA device?

Before trying to call any NPP functions, the user should make a call this function to ensure that the current machine has a CUDA capable device.

Returns:

An enum value representing if a CUDA capable device was found and what level of compute capabilities it supports.

const char* nppGetGpuName

(

)

Get the name of the default CUDA device.

Returns:

Name string of the graphics-card/compute device in a system.

int nppGetGpuNumSMs

(

)

Get the number of Streaming Multiprocessors (SM) on the default CUDA device.

Returns:

Number of SMs of the default CUDA device.

const NppLibraryVersion* nppGetLibVersion

(

)

Get the NPP library version.

Returns:

A struct containing separate values for major and minor revision and build number.

int nppGetMaxThreadsPerBlock

(

)

Get the maximum number of threads per block on the default CUDA device.

Returns:

Maximum number of threads per block on the default CUDA device.
