可以通过调用 __reduce() 来减少大型数组;多次。
但是,以下代码仅使用两个阶段,并在此处记录:
但是我无法理解这两个阶段减少的算法。有人可以给出更简单的解释吗?
__kernel
void reduce(__global float* buffer,
__local float* scratch,
__const int length,
__global float* result) {
int global_index = get_global_id(0);
float accumulator = INFINITY;
// Loop sequentially over chunks of input vector
while (global_index < length) {
float element = buffer[global_index];
accumulator = (accumulator < element) ? accumulator : element;
global_index += get_global_size(0);
}
// Perform parallel reduction
int local_index = get_local_id(0);
scratch[local_index] = accumulator;
barrier(CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE);
for(int offset = get_local_size(0) / 2; offset > 0; offset = offset / 2) {
if (local_index < offset) {
float other = scratch[local_index + offset];
float mine = scratch[local_index];
scratch[local_index] = (mine < other) ? mine : other;
}
barrier(CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE);
}
if (local_index == 0) {
result[get_group_id(0)] = scratch[0];
}
}
它也可以使用 CUDA 很好地实现。
