exit GPU Virtual ISA NVIDIA

exit Control Flow Instructions

exit;

Ends execution of a thread. Barriers exclusively waiting on arrivals from exited threads are always released.

Encoding

PTX is a virtual instruction set. It has no single, stable native binary encoding - the compiler lowers this instruction to different native machine code depending on the selected NVIDIA target architecture (compute capability). This page intentionally shows no bit-diagram; see the target/version requirements below for what governs how this instruction compiles.

Syntax Forms

One mnemonic covers many type / state-space / scope / modifier combinations - each row below is an independently valid form.
