Cuda atomic操作

注意：函数运算完之后，会将运算结果保存在第一个参数指针指定的空间位置，返回的是old值。

int atomicAdd(int* address, int val);
unsigned int atomicAdd(unsigned int* address,
unsigned int val);
unsigned long long int atomicAdd(unsigned long long int* address,
unsigned long long int val);
float atomicAdd(float* address, float val);
double atomicAdd(double* address, double val);
reads the 32-bit or 64-bit word old located at the address address in global or shared memory, computes (old + val), and stores the result back to memory at the same address. These three operations are performed in one atomic transaction. The function returns old.

The 32-bit floating-point version of atomicAdd() is only supported by devices ofcompute capability 2.x and higher.

The 64-bit floating-point version of atomicAdd() is only supported by devices ofcompute capability 6.x and higher.

atomicAdd完成的工作是把某个固定内存位置的数据进行加法操作，第一个参数是一个指针，读取原始值返回，进行加法计算后的新值会存储到内存，整个过程对于当前线程是原子性操作，不会被其他线程抢占。这也是一种通信操作，对性能会造成影响。
