Hy, the system variable

CUDA_CACHE_MAXSIZE 4294967296

can enhance cuda crunching times, please test it by yourselfes.

Didn’t notice any difference really on my TitanV’s but I’ll let it run a bit longer.

Does it matter if the env variable is defined as int or str? I did export CUDA_CACHE_MAXSIZE=4294967296

Or maybe it’s more helpful for windows systems than Linux?

Nvidia GPUs run CUDA. In terms of env variable naming, “CUDA” is synonymous with “NVIDIA” so CUDA environment variables can still be effective.

But this one isn’t.

There are no variables for cache settings for opencl.
