Lazy Evaluation of PTX Kernels in the CUDA Runtime

Describe the New Feature: The current implementation loads and parses all PTX kernels declared within
a program upon kernel registration. Make this lazily evaluated instead.

Ideally, registering a kernel should add an entry with a flag saying that
it has not yet been parsed. Upon the first execution, it should be
translated and then executed and the flag should be updated. Which milestone does the feature belong to? 1.0.0 Which branch does the new feature go in? Trunk

This feature is now in. Modules will only be loaded by the runtime upon the first use rather than when the program starts.

Status: Done
