This is written in the Readme, hope it helps:
Currently there is just one prefix, which is "S". Later releases may
see the introduction of more kernel variants with using other letters.
Examples:
e.g. S27x3 is a launch configuration that works well on GTX 260
28x4 is a launch configuration that works on Geforce GTX 460
290x2 is a launch configuration that works on Geforce GTX 660Ti
You should wait through autotune to see what kernel is found best for
your current hardware configuration.
The choice between Non-Titan and Titan CUDA kernels is automatically
made based on your device's compute capability. Titans cost around
a thousand dollars, so you probably don't have one.
Prefix | Non-Titan | Titan
-------------------------------------------------------
| low shared memory | default kernel
| optimized kernel | with funnel shifter
| |
S | spinlock kernel | spinlock kernel
| for Kepler GPUs | with funnel shifter
Can anyone explain like i'm 5? If my card used to autotune to the default kernal and is now auto tuning to the spinlock kernel will it actually make a difference?
