I am a person just starting the CUDA programming.
There seems to be a concept of SP SM and the CUDA architecture.
I'd tried to run the deviceQuery.cpp of sample source I think what works and SP SM development of their environment,
It has become not know which items whether the SP is any item in the SM.
I think item "(14) Multiprocessors, (8) CUDA Cores / MP" and that are true to the SP and SM, but I will correct understanding of the following?
SM = Multiprocessors = 14
SP = CUDA Cores/MP = 8
CUDA Cores = 14 * 8 = 112
By the way, the result of deviceQuery.cpp was following.

According to this you are correct:
SM = Streaming Multiprocessor
SP = Streaming Processor = CUDA Core
Total SP/CUDA Cores = number of SM * number of SP/CUDA Cores per SM
