Many CUDA applications running on multi-GPU platforms usually use a single GPU for their compute needs. In such scenarios, a performance penalty is paid by applications because CUDA has to enumerate/initialize all the GPUs on the system. If a CUDA application does not require other GPUs to be visible and accessible, you can launch such…
