Description

Hi,

There is unified memory for Pascal card (1060 GTX is at 250usd...), in the CUDA 8 API, there is no
need to do memory transfer and latency is very low.

Is there any plan to map Cuda 8 functionality of unified memory ?
It would significant boost in performance.

Sample code is here:
http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index.html#um-simplifying

```
//C++ Cuda code to Allocate 32GB on GPU, using CPU RAM (very low latency with nvlink).
void allocate_model() {
char *data;
size_t size = 32*1024*1024*1024;
cudaMallocManaged(&data, size);
}
```
