Disable CUDA PTX-to-binary JIT compilation

Is there a way to disable the Just-In-Time compilation of PTX code to GPU assembly when running an application?

There are certain scenarios where one want to run a GPU-enabled application on CPU-only mode. If the application is big enough, and it is the first run of that version of executable, the JIT process may take a very long time (very common on CI/CD cases from my company)

The CUDA runtime will obey an environment variable to determine whether PTX JIT will take place or not. The following should prevent any JIT activity in your code:

CUDA_DISABLE_PTX_JIT=1 ./my_executable
