For those not familiar with CUDA vocabulary: PTX = Parallel Thread Execution is a pseudo-assembly language used in nVidia's CUDA programming environment. The 'nvcc' compiler translates code written in CUDA, a C-like language, into PTX, and the graphics driver contains a compiler which translates the PTX into something which can be run on the processing cores.
