What is a Load/Store Unit?

LSU

The Load/Store Units (LSUs) dispatch requests to load or store data to the memory subsystems of the GPU.

Most importantly for CUDA programmers they interact with the Streaming Multiprocessor 's on-chip SRAM L1 data cache and the off-chip, on-device global RAM that respectively implement the lowest and highest levels of the memory hierarchy in the CUDA programming model .
