6.32.11 Nvidia PTX Variable Attributes

These variable attributes are supported by the Nvidia PTX back end:

shared: Use this attribute to place a variable in the .shared memory space. This memory space is private to each cooperative thread array; only threads within one thread block refer to the same instance of the variable. The runtime does not initialize variables in this memory space.
