cub::WarpScan< T, LOGICAL_WARP_THREADS, PTX_ARCH > Class Template Reference
Warp-wide

Detailed description

template< typename T, int LOGICAL_WARP_THREADS = CUB_PTX_WARP_THREADS, int PTX_ARCH = CUB_PTX_ARCH>
class cub::WarpScan< T, LOGICAL_WARP_THREADS, PTX_ARCH >

The WarpScan class provides collective methods for computing a parallel prefix scan of items partitioned across a CUDA thread warp.

Template Parameters
TThe scan input/output element type
LOGICAL_WARP_THREADS[optional] The number of threads per "logical" warp (may be less than the number of hardware warp threads). Default is the warp size associated with the CUDA Compute Capability targeted by the compiler (e.g., 32 threads for SM20).
PTX_ARCH[optional] The PTX compute capability for which to to specialize this collective, formatted as per the CUDA_ARCH macro (e.g., 350 for sm_35). Useful for determining the collective's storage requirements for a given device from the host. (Default: the value of CUDA_ARCH during the current compiler pass)
Overview
  • Given a list of input elements and a binary reduction operator, a prefix scan produces an output list where each element is computed to be the reduction of the elements occurring earlier in the input list. Prefix sum connotes a prefix scan with the addition operator. The term inclusive indicates that the ith output reduction incorporates the ith input. The term exclusive indicates the ith input is not incorporated into the ith output reduction.
  • Supports non-commutative scan operators
  • Supports "logical" warps smaller than the physical warp size (e.g., a logical warp of 8 threads)
  • The number of entrant threads must be an multiple of LOGICAL_WARP_THREADS
Performance Considerations
  • Uses special instructions when applicable (e.g., warp SHFL)
  • Uses synchronization-free communication between warp lanes when applicable
  • Incurs zero bank conflicts for most types
  • Computation is slightly more efficient (i.e., having lower instruction overhead) for:
    • Summation (vs. generic scan)
    • The architecture's warp size is a whole multiple of LOGICAL_WARP_THREADS
Simple Examples
Every thread in the warp uses the WarpScan class by first specializing the WarpScan type, then instantiating an instance with parameters for communication, and finally invoking or more collective member functions.
The code snippet below illustrates four concurrent warp prefix sums within a block of 128 threads (one per each of the 32-thread warps).
#include <cub/cub.cuh>
__global__ void ExampleKernel(...)
{
// Specialize WarpScan for type int
typedef cub::WarpScan<int> WarpScan;
// Allocate WarpScan shared memory for 4 warps
__shared__ typename WarpScan::TempStorage temp_storage[4];
// Obtain one input item per thread
int thread_data = ...
// Compute warp-wide prefix sums
int warp_id = threadIdx.x / 32;
WarpScan(temp_storage[warp_id]).ExclusiveSum(thread_data, thread_data);
Suppose the set of input thread_data across the block of threads is {1, 1, 1, 1, ...}. The corresponding output thread_data in each of the four warps of threads will be 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 31}.
The code snippet below illustrates a single warp prefix sum within a block of 128 threads.
#include <cub/cub.cuh>
__global__ void ExampleKernel(...)
{
// Specialize WarpScan for type int
typedef cub::WarpScan<int> WarpScan;
// Allocate WarpScan shared memory for one warp
__shared__ typename WarpScan::TempStorage temp_storage;
...
// Only the first warp performs a prefix sum
if (threadIdx.x < 32)
{
// Obtain one input item per thread
int thread_data = ...
// Compute warp-wide prefix sums
WarpScan(temp_storage).ExclusiveSum(thread_data, thread_data);
Suppose the set of input thread_data across the warp of threads is {1, 1, 1, 1, ...}. The corresponding output thread_data will be {0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 31}.

Classes

struct  TempStorage
 The operations exposed by WarpScan require a temporary memory allocation of this nested type for thread communication. This opaque storage can be allocated directly using the __shared__ keyword. Alternatively, it can be aliased to externally allocated memory (shared or global) or union'd with other storage allocation types to facilitate memory reuse. More...

Computes both inclusive and exclusive prefix scans using the specified binary scan functor across the calling warp. Because no initial value is supplied, the exclusive_output computed for warp-lane0 is undefined.

  • A subsequent __syncthreads() threadblock barrier should be invoked after calling this method if the collective's temporary storage (e.g., temp_storage) is to be reused or repurposed.
Snippet
The code snippet below illustrates four concurrent warp-wide exclusive prefix max scans within a block of 128 threads (one per each of the 32-thread warps).
#include <cub/cub.cuh>
__global__ void ExampleKernel(...)
{
// Specialize WarpScan for type int
typedef cub::WarpScan<int> WarpScan;
// Allocate WarpScan shared memory for 4 warps
__shared__ typename WarpScan::TempStorage temp_storage[4];
// Obtain one input item per thread
int thread_data = ...
// Compute exclusive warp-wide prefix max scans
int inclusive_partial, exclusive_partial;
WarpScan(temp_storage[warp_id]).Scan(thread_data, inclusive_partial, exclusive_partial, cub::Max());
Suppose the set of input thread_data across the block of threads is {0, -1, 2, -3, ..., 126, -127}. The corresponding output inclusive_partial in the first warp would be 0, 0, 2, 2, ..., 30, 30, the output for the second warp would be 32, 32, 34, 34, ..., 62, 62, etc. The corresponding output exclusive_partial in the first warp would be ?, 0, 0, 2, ..., 28, 30, the output for the second warp would be ?, 32, 32, 34, ..., 60, 62, etc. (The output thread_data in warp lane0 is undefined.)

__device__ __forceinline__ T cub::WarpScan< T, LOGICAL_WARP_THREADS, PTX_ARCH >::Broadcast ( T  input,
unsigned int  src_lane 
)
inline

Broadcast the value input from warp-lanesrc_lane to all lanes in the warp.

Snippet
The code snippet below illustrates the warp-wide broadcasts of values from lanes0 in each of four warps to all other threads in those warps.
#include <cub/cub.cuh>
__global__ void ExampleKernel(...)
{
// Specialize WarpScan for type int
typedef cub::WarpScan<int> WarpScan;
// Allocate WarpScan shared memory for 4 warps
__shared__ typename WarpScan::TempStorage temp_storage[4];
// Obtain one input item per thread
int thread_data = ...
// Broadcast from lane0 in each warp to all other threads in the warp
int warp_id = threadIdx.x / 32;
thread_data = WarpScan(temp_storage[warp_id]).Broadcast(thread_data, 0);
Suppose the set of input thread_data across the block of threads is {0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 127}. The corresponding output thread_data will be {0, 0, ..., 0} in warp0, {32, 32, ..., 32} in warp1, {64, 64, ..., 64} in warp2, etc.
Parameters
[in]inputThe value to broadcast
[in]src_laneWhich warp lane is to do the broadcasting
