Performance

Troubleshoot code generation issues, improve code execution time, and reduce memory usage of generated code

Some of the most common reasons why GPU Coder™ generated code is not performing as expected are:

  • CUDA® kernels are not created.

  • Host to device and device to host memory transfers (cudaMemcpy) are throttling performance.

  • Not enough parallelism or device issues.

These topics elaborate on the common causes for these symptoms and describe how to utilize the built-in screener to detect these issues. You can find information on how to work around for these issues and generate more efficient CUDA code.
