Question

I'm using an old Tesla GPU C1060, G80 architecture. I'm wondering if data requested by threads from the global memory address space is cached, as it happens in more recent architectures.

Was it helpful?

Solution

CUDA Programming Guide, Section G.3.1:

The local and global memory spaces reside in device memory and are not cached.
