Hi Ross
Sorry to pick this old thread up, but does the statement '... so you will
need multiple executables if you have mixed hardware.' still hold for CUDA
10? I've read CUDA 10 supports both Turing and Pascal (and others
obviously) but without any concern or warning that patching is required. We
only have gtx cards, but would like to expand and since gtx has become
rather scarce are looking towards rtx cards (or the newer gtx 1660 but
still no word on compatibility).
Thanks in advance and kind regards!
