.. cpp:function:: gpu::DeviceInfo::DeviceInfo()

.. cpp:function:: gpu::DeviceInfo::DeviceInfo(int device_id)

    Constructs the ``DeviceInfo`` object for the specified device. If ``device_id`` parameter is missed, it constructs an object for the current device.

    :param device_id: System index of the GPU device starting with 0.

.. index:: gpu::DeviceInfo::name

gpu::DeviceInfo::name
-------------------------
.. cpp:function:: string gpu::DeviceInfo::name()

    Returns the device name.

.. index:: gpu::DeviceInfo::majorVersion

gpu::DeviceInfo::majorVersion

---------------------------------
.. cpp:function:: int gpu::DeviceInfo::minorVersion()

    Returns the minor compute capability version.

.. index:: gpu::DeviceInfo::multiProcessorCount

gpu::DeviceInfo::multiProcessorCount
----------------------------------------
.. cpp:function:: int gpu::DeviceInfo::multiProcessorCount()

    Returns the number of streaming multiprocessors.

.. index:: gpu::DeviceInfo::freeMemory

gpu::DeviceInfo::freeMemory
-------------------------------
.. cpp:function:: size_t gpu::DeviceInfo::freeMemory()

    Returns the amount of free memory in bytes.

.. index:: gpu::DeviceInfo::totalMemory

gpu::DeviceInfo::totalMemory
--------------------------------
.. cpp:function:: size_t gpu::DeviceInfo::totalMemory()

    Returns the amount of total memory in bytes.

.. index:: gpu::DeviceInfo::supports

gpu::DeviceInfo::supports
-----------------------------
.. cpp:function:: bool gpu::DeviceInfo::supports(GpuFeature feature)

    Provides information on GPU feature support. This function returns true if the device has the specified GPU feature, otherwise returns false.

    :param feature: Feature to be checked. See  ?.

.. index:: gpu::DeviceInfo::isCompatible

gpu::DeviceInfo::isCompatible
---------------------------------
.. cpp:function:: bool gpu::DeviceInfo::isCompatible()

    Checks the GPU module and device compatibility. This function returns true if the GPU module can be run on the specified device, otherwise returns false.

.. index:: gpu::TargetArchs

.. _gpu::TargetArchs:

gpu::TargetArchs
----------------
.. cpp:class:: gpu::TargetArchs

This class provides a set of static methods to check what NVIDIA card architecture the GPU module was built for.

The following method checks whether the module was built with the support of the given feature:

.. cpp:function:: static bool gpu::TargetArchs::builtWith(GpuFeature feature)

    :param feature: Feature to be checked. See  ?.

There is a set of methods to check whether the module contains intermediate (PTX) or binary GPU code for the given architecture(s):

    .. cpp:function:: static bool gpu::TargetArchs::has(int major, int minor)

    .. cpp:function:: static bool gpu::TargetArchs::hasPtx(int major, int minor)

    .. cpp:function:: static bool gpu::TargetArchs::hasBin(int major, int minor)

    .. cpp:function:: static bool gpu::TargetArchs::hasEqualOrLessPtx(int major, int minor)

    .. cpp:function:: static bool gpu::TargetArchs::hasEqualOrGreater(int major, int minor)

    .. cpp:function:: static bool gpu::TargetArchs::hasEqualOrGreaterPtx(int major, int minor)

    .. cpp:function:: static bool gpu::TargetArchs::hasEqualOrGreaterBin(int major, int minor)

        * **major** Major compute capability version.

        * **minor** Minor compute capability version.

    According to the CUDA C Programming Guide Version 3.2: "PTX code produced for some specific compute capability can always be compiled to binary code of greater or equal compute capability".
