It seems like the highest supported is used, yes.
Some complications on Well: When using "-gencode arch=compute_10,code=sm_10 -gencode arch=compute_20,code=sm_21" it fails on the Titan (which is sm_35):
Benchmarking: md5crypt-cuda, crypt(3) $1$ [MD5 CUDA]... invalid device symbol in cryptmd5.cu at line 225
If I hack that format out, next format get a similar error. If I instead take the sm_20 stuff out, I also get the same error. So our original "-arch sm_10" is somehow different from "-gencode arch=compute_10,code=sm_10". The former works, the latter doesn't.
Adding "-gencode arch=compute_30,code=sm_30" instead, gives higher lever problems:
...
Benchmarking: sha512crypt-cuda, crypt(3) $6$ (rounds=5000) [SHA512 CUDA]... FAILED (get_hash[0](0))
...
Benchmarking: mscash2-cuda, M$ Cache Hash 2 (DCC2) [PBKDF2-SHA1 CUDA]... FAILED (get_hash[0](0))
...
2 out of 12 tests have FAILED
Reverting to "-arch sm_10", all is fine.
Changing to "-arch sm_20" or "-arch sm_30" and even "-arch sm_35", gets us the same as "-gencode arch=compute_30,code=sm_30", that is 2 formats fail self-test.
So... the only thing that works is sm_10. Is this a release driver?
