CUDA Startup: Jitify #71

Closed ax3l closed 7 years ago

ax3l commented 7 years ago

In order to prevent NxN pre-compiles of functor chains and long startups on CUDA architectures, NVRTC is an option we long thought about.

I just found this library from Nvidia, jitify. It looks like it could significantly easen the process of writing our functor chains in NVRTC. Definitely worth investigating that, maybe as a student project.

Sounds promising, but I think the most interesting part of a student project would be how to implement it in Alpaka or at least a fallback of jit compiling is not available for a back end / environment.

true, related to #24
