Orin is based on the Ampere architecture, and has compute capability 8.7. The CUDA Toolkit tunig guide for ampere only mentions 8.0 and 8.6, specifically for the shared memory size here. The same is also true for the per-compute-capability feature list here. Table 15 on the same page mentions CC 8.7, with 163KB max Shared Memory per block, similar to CC8.0
However DeviceQuery reports a smaller number (~48KB, see below for reference).
I am wondering what is true.
