@rfhaque Can you please test on all cuda machines on-site we have defined in benchpark?

@pearce8 Its already tested on pascal and lassen.

We need to impose a constraint on the spack spec as this should only be used on NVIDIA GPUs (where CUDA is available). If a user tries to use this modifier on a different architecture, we should make sure they get an error indicating that the modifier does not work on this architecture. Doug provided this example: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/ramble/blob/develop/lib/ramble/ramble/language/modifier_language.py#L285

@rfhaque Also, how would one turn on this modifier? @slabasan needs to know for the docs.

in benchpark setup, we specify --modifier=caliper-cuda
