Is CUDA shared memory also cached

Question

In my CUDA application, I am copying data from device memory to shared memory. Is that data cached in L1 as well?

Answer 1

By default, all memory loads from global memory are cached in L1. The target location for the global memory load has no effect on the L1 caching (whether it is a register, or shared memory or thread local memory). The shared memory itself is obviously not cached.
