Understanding this CUDA kernels launch parameters -



Understanding this CUDA kernels launch parameters -

i trying analyze code have found online , maintain thinking myself corner. looking @ histogram kernel launched next parameters

histogram<<<2500, numbins, numbins * sizeof(unsigned int)>>>(...);

i know parameters grid, block, shared memory sizes.

so mean there 2500 blocks of numbins threads each, each block having numbins * sizeof(unsigned int) chunk of shared memory available threads?

also, within kernel there calls __syncthreads(), there 2500 sets of numbins calls __syncthreads() on course of study of kernel call?

so mean there 2500 blocks of numbins threads each, each block having numbins * sizeof(unsigned int) chunk of shared memory available threads?

from cuda toolkit documentation:

the execution configuration (of global function call) specified inserting look of form <<<dg,db,ns,s>>>, where:

dg (dim3) specifies dimension , size of grid. db (dim3) specifies dimension , size of each block ns (size_t) specifies number of bytes in shared memory dynamically allocated per block phone call in add-on statically allocated memory. s (cudastream_t) specifies associated stream, optional parameter defaults 0.

so, @fazar pointed out, reply yes. memory allocated per block.

also, within kernel there calls __syncthreads(), there 2500 sets of numbins calls __syncthreads() on course of study of kernel call?

__syncthreads() waits until threads in thread block have reached point. used coordinate communication between threads in same block.

so, there __syncthread() phone call per block.

Php operator `break` doesn't stop while -

Php operator `break` doesn't stop while - have weird issue, break doesn't break while loop , maintain rotating. logically should break cycle , set output while ($c++ != 5) { // here curl request, doesn't relevant have removed preg_match("!<.*?>(\s*)[^<>]*?{$to}<!", $resp, $result) ; // echo 'cnt = ' .count($result).'<br>'; if(!count($result)) { $amount = 0; echo 'sleep called'; sleep(4); exit; continue; } else { $amount = trim(@$result[1]); $amount = round($amount + $amount * $exchange_ratio, $precision); echo 'break happen<br>'; break; } } so output cnt = 2 break happen cnt = 0 sleep called so skipped break , maintain rotating. how so? edit works fine on localhost issue php version? ...

ubuntu - Bash Script to Check That Files Are Being Created - we have amazon ec2 instance upload output our security cameras. every , then, cameras have issue, stop uploaded, , need rebooted. easy way determine seeing if files not beingness created. problem creates lots , lots of files. if utilize find -ctime, takes long time script run. there faster way check see if files have been created since yesterday? need capture result, (yes there files, or not there not,) , email message, nice have didn't take half hr run. #!/bin/bash find /vol/security_ftp/west -ctime -1 find /vol/security_ftp/backentrance -ctime -1 find /vol/security_ftp/boardroomdoor -ctime -1 find /vol/security_ftp/mainentrance -ctime -1 find /vol/security_ftp/north -ctime -1 find /vol/security_ftp/south -ctime -1 using find natural solution, if must avoid it, can see newest file in directory using ls , sorting output according ctime, eg. ls /vol/security_ftp/west -clt | head --lines=1 ...

vim: Search & replace -

vim: Search & replace - i searching easy way search , replace things in vim "workaround" refactoring. on other stackoverflow-question found snippet of code: nnoremap gr gd:%s/<c-r>///gc<left><left><left> i thought gd selects current word under cursor in whole document , %s search , replaces matches after typed replace pattern. gc stands globally confirmation?! however: not work expected. illustration in python class of mine can easy rename occurencies of self in whole file not work on method identifieres or field identifieres length of one. def __init__(self): self.test = [] self.a = [] ... so self changed using snippet, doing gr on field a not work. how can work easy search , replace on 1 file? any tips on intelligent refactoring appreciated. after hours of searching found plugins , workarounds work c files, need @ to the lowest degree java, python , php compatibility. thanks every reply :) update: found...
