> By contrast for a more typical CPU, there's a compiler whose assembly output you can examine, and there's a processor manual that gives the cycle timing of each instruction 1. You can dump the SASS that corresponds to PTX: `cuobjdump --dump-sass <input_file>` 2. Getting the cycle count of a single instruction for an OOO architecture is completely meaningless because you have no idea when the instruction will actually be issued. This is true for both AMDGPU and NV.
