OpenCL compiles a suitable (different) kernel for each and you do not
have to configure anything.
You can configure CUDA for compiling several archs at once, see "nvcc
--help". It something like "-gencode arch=compute_20,code=sm_20 -gencode
arch=compute_50,code=sm_50" (added to NVCC_FLAGS instead of just -arch
sm_xx). The one most suitable of them will be picked at runtime.
