Description
Hi,
I am adding two large arrays, for some reason (probably thread/block/grid size games) the CPU version is much faster.
I thought it is because the array size is too SMALL for the GPU to show any advantage, however, I increased the array size until I got CUDA out of memory error.
The full code is here:

My device info is as follows:
```
1 device(s) found.
Device #0: GeForce GTX 1080
```
Thanks,
