Pretty dim3 free#
Blocks will load to fill up the SMs, we will have 16 blocks finish at roughly the same time, and as the first 4 SMs free up, they will start processing the last 4 blocks (NOT necessarily blocks #17-20). Every time a block is run, a SM will have only 31 of its 32 cores busy. If we have a simple scenario where we have 16 SMs with 32 CUDA cores each, and we have 31x1x1 block size, and 20x1x1 grid size, we will forfeit at least 1/32 of the processing power of the card. So you cannot have blocks with more threads than CUDA cores are contained in a SM. Threads in a block HAVE TO be on the same SM, to use its facilities of shared memory and synchronization. As far as I know, the dimensionality of a block or grid is just a logical assignment irrelevant of hardware, but the total size of a block (x*y*z) is very important.
GeForce 690 has 2) -> multiple SM's (streaming multiprocessors) -> multiple CUDA cores. You can inspect the generated files by adding -keep to your nvcc command line.ĬUDA CDP works similar to the CUDA Runtime API described above.īasically, the GPU is divided into separate "device" GPUs (e.g. _host_ _device_ dim3(unsigned int vx = 1, unsigned int vy = 1, unsigned int vz = 1) : x(vx), y(vy), z(vz) * the declaration of dim3 from vector_types.h of CUDA/include */ gridDim.x is the upper bound of blockIdx.x, this is not that obvious for people like me. So, for me, gridDim & blockDim is like some boundaries.Į.g. So I'd like to keepĪrr_on_device = arr_on_device * arr_on_device I thoughtįorce user to use *kernel>* would be better. this just brroke the semantics of both C and C++. It's not C style, and C++ style ? at first, I thought this could be done byĬ++'s constructor stuff, but I checked structure *dim3*, there's no properĬonstructor for this.
Kernel>() this is exactly the same thing with above. Kernel>() means kernel will execute in 10 blocks each have 32 threads. Int idx = blockIdx.x * blockDIm.x + threadIdx.x we automatically define a dim3 type variable defining the number of blocks per. if I was the CUDA authore, I should make the kernel function more It should be pretty clear now why matrix-matrix multiplication is a good. so, kernel function is so different from the *normal*Ĭ/C++ functions. If there's any parameter passed into _global_ function, it should be stored and a _global_ function could only return void. Dim3 - Clinical nutrition is a therapy Designed with practitioners for practitioners We help doctors, dieticians and nurses and deliver technology solutions that make them more efficient while enhancing the life of patients and saving healthcare costs. Note, _global_ means this function will be called from host codes,Īnd executed on device.
Normally, we write kernel function like this. Here I tried to self-explain the CUDA launch parameters model (or execution configuration model) using some pseudo codes, but I don't know if there were some big mistakes, So hope someone help to review it, and give me some advice.
