System View
PG-Strom provides several system view to export its internal state for users or applications.
The future version may add extra fields here. So, it is not recommended to reference these information schemas using SELECT * FROM ...
.
pgstrom.device_info
pgstrom.device_into
system view exports device attributes of the GPUs recognized by PG-Strom.
GPU has different specification for each model, like number of cores, capacity of global memory, maximum number of threads and etc, user's software should be optimized according to the information if you try raw GPU programming with PL/CUDA functions.
