Hardware Configuration

PothosGPU blocks can be executed on any GPU or CPU connected to the host machine. Each block takes in the device name as an input parameter on construction.

Querying hardware configuration

To display the list of devices that can be used to execute PothosGPU blocks, use PothosUtil as shown below:

user@machine:~$ PothosUtil --device-info=gpu
>>> Querying device info: /devices/gpu/info
{
    "PothosGPU Device": [
        {
