Thank you, Dave!
I see it now, line 267.

When the code is in SPFP mode and the force switched Lennard-Jones
potential is not engaged, the code is making use of a log-adaptive spline
table to compute d/dr [ erfc(a * r) / r ]. It's one of my optimizations.
The log-adaptive table can store all of the relevant range, indexed as a
function of r2, in 3-4kb of chip cache on the GPU SMs, so the bulk of the
direct space computation collapses to a table lookup and three fmult ops.
There are two separate tables: one for exclusions, the other for standard
interactions. The exclusions spline table folds in the 1/r removal term,
and this is in fact why the splines are MORE numerically precise than
analytic computations in fp32 (SPFP) mode.
