gpubench.sizeof( type )

function sz = sizeof( type )
%SIZEOF Get the size in bytes for an element of the specified type
%
%   bytes = gpubench.sizeof(typename) returns the number of bytes required
%   for a single real value of the specified type.
%
%   Examples:
%   >> gpubench.sizeof('double')
%   ans = 8
%   >> gpubench.sizeof('single')
%   ans = 4
