1.2. Goals of PTX PTX provides a stable programming model and instruction set for general purpose parallel programming. It is designed to be efficient on NVIDIA GPUs supporting the computation features defined by the NVIDIA Tesla architecture. High level language compilers for languages such as CUDA and C/C++ generate PTX instructions, which are optimized for and translated to native target ...
PTX Compiler APIs The User guide to PTX Compiler APIs. 1. Introduction The PTX Compiler APIs are a set of APIs which can be used to compile a PTX program into GPU assembly code. The APIs accept PTX programs in character string form and create handles to the compiler that can be used to obtain the GPU assembly code.

PTX Writer’s Guide to Interoperability The guide to writing ABI-compliant PTX. 1. Introduction This document defines the Application Binary Interface (ABI) for the CUDA ® architecture when generating PTX. By following the ABI, external developers can generate compliant PTX code that can be linked with other code. PTX is a low-level parallel-thread-execution virtual machine and ISA ...
Inline PTX Assembly in CUDA The reference guide for inlining PTX (parallel thread execution) assembly statements into CUDA. 1. Using Inline PTX Assembly in CUDA The NVIDIA ® CUDA ® programming environment provides a parallel thread execution (PTX) instruction set architecture (ISA) for using the GPU as a data-parallel computing device. For more information on the PTX ISA, refer to the latest ...
