Hi, is there a limitation on how many streams I can use in an application? If I increase the number of streams in the simpleStreams example from the Cuda SDK to 256, the test fails. I want to use several hundreds of streams in my application. Is that possible? And how expensive is stream creation…

I’m curious about this too. Anyone with working experience on this?
