Description

I noticed that `blt_cuda_smoke` is built with default arch, while most of the code I want to test is built with extra arch flags.

That can lead to a `blt_cuda_smoke` that works when other exes do not.

This is a BLT usage thing we should make folks aware of.

Research direction

Start by locating the BLT usage guidance for blt_cuda_smoke and the handling of extra architecture flags. Document that the smoke executable uses the default architecture while other executables may use additional flags, and explain the resulting testing limitation.
