> You really want 128-bit integer. And nVidia isn't delivering that.

How much slower (per unit area) is that to do in software, compared to a full 128-bit hardware unit?

"as of 11.5, CUDA and nvcc support __int128_t in device code when the host compiler supports it (e.g., clang/gcc, but not MSVC). 11.6 added support for debug tools with __int128_t."
