Implicit Scaling
As mentioned above, in COMPOSITE mode, the driver and language runtime provide tools that expose each GPU card as a root device. In this mode, a root device is composed of multiple sub-devices, also known as stacks. The stacks form a shared memory space which allows treating a root device as a monolithic device without the requirement of explicit communication between stacks.
This section covers multi-stack programming principles using implicit scaling in COMPOSITE mode.
