Problem
what is "SASS" short for ? I know it is an asembly level native code ISA targeting specific hardware, exits in between PTX code and binary code. but anyone could kindly tell me what does each character stands for ? all that i can find about Fermi hardware native instruction is in cuobjdump.pdf, but it only gives their names, where can I find more information such as their throughput or latency or IPC or CPI, undertaking units corresponding to each intruction, like SFU, FPU ?
