CUDA Pro Tip：Write Flexible Kernels with Grid-Stride Loops

见
CUDA Pro Tip：Write Flexible Kernels with Grid-Stride Loops
懒得翻译了，这篇文章讲使用Grid-Stride Loop
如下非Grid-Stride Loop

kernel()
{
    int i = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
    if (i<n)
        ....
}

Grid-Stride Loop

kernel()
{
    for (int i = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x; 
         i < n; 
         i += blockDim.x * gridDim.x) 
      {
          ...
      }
}

并表明这样做的三个有点
1. 可扩展和thread reuse
2. Debugging
3. Portability and readability

我认为吧主要就是前两个原因。
