第一题
设置线程块中线程数为1024效果优于设置为1023,且提升明显,不过原因未知,以后章节看看能不能回答。
第二题
参考文件sumArraysOnGPUtimer.cu,设置block=256,新建内核,使每个线程处理两个元素。
思路很简单,将数据的虚拟内存对半分为高低两块,每一内核线程同时处理两个索引区域序列相同的数据即可:
# include <cuda_runtime.h>
# include <stdio.h>
# include <sys/time.h>
# include "common.h"
__global__ void sumArraysOnGPU(float *A, float *B, float *C, const int N)
{
int i = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
if (i < N/2) {
C[i] = A[i] + B[i];
C[i+N/2] = A[i+N/2] + B[i+N/2];
}
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("%s Starting...\n", argv[0]);
// set up device
int dev = 0;
cudaDeviceProp deviceProp;
CHECK(cudaGetDeviceProperties(&deviceProp, dev));
printf("Using Device %d: %s\n", dev, deviceProp.name);
CHECK(cudaSetDevice(dev));
// set up data size of vectors
int nElem = 1 << 24;
printf("Vector size %d\n", nElem);
// malloc host memory
size_t nBytes = nElem * sizeof(float);
float *h_A, *h_B, *hostRef, *gpuRef;
h_A = (float *)malloc(nBytes);
h_B = (float *)malloc(nBytes);
hostRef = (float *)malloc(nBytes);
gpuRef = (float *)malloc(nBytes);
double iStart, iElaps;
// initialize data at host side
iStart = cpuSecond();
initialData(h_A, nElem);
initialData(h_B, nElem);
iElaps = cpuSecond() - iStart;
printf("initialData Time elapsed %f sec\n", iElaps);
memset(hostRef, 0, nBytes);
memset(gpuRef, 0, nBytes);
// add vector at host side for result checks
iStart = cpuSecond();
sumArraysOnHost(h_A, h_B, hostRef, nElem);
iElaps = cpuSecond() - iStart;
printf("sumArraysOnHost Time elapsed %f sec\n", iElaps);
// malloc device global memory
float *d_A, *d_B, *d_C;
CHECK(cudaMalloc((float**)&d_A, nBytes));
CHECK(cudaMalloc((float**)&d_B, nBytes));
CHECK(cudaMalloc((float**)&d_C, nBytes));
// transfer data from host to device
CHECK(cudaMemcpy(d_A, h_A, nBytes, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice));
CHECK(cudaMemcpy(d_B, h_B, nBytes, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice));
CHECK(cudaMemcpy(d_C, gpuRef, nBytes, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice));
// invoke kernel at host side
int iLen = 512;
dim3 block (iLen);
dim3 grid ((nElem + block.x - 1) / block.x / 2);
// <<< 16384, 512 >>> Time elapsed 0.000747 sec
// <<< 32768, 512 >>> Time elapsed 0.000709 sec
iStart = cpuSecond();
sumArraysOnGPU<<<grid, block>>>(d_A, d_B, d_C, nElem);
CHECK(cudaDeviceSynchronize());
iElaps = cpuSecond() - iStart;
printf("sumArraysOnGPU <<< %d, %d >>> Time elapsed %f sec\n", grid.x,
block.x, iElaps);
// check kernel error
// CHECK(cudaGetLastError()) ;
// copy kernel result back to host side
CHECK(cudaMemcpy(gpuRef, d_C, nBytes, cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost));
// check device results
checkResult(hostRef, gpuRef, nElem);
// free device global memory
CHECK(cudaFree(d_A));
CHECK(cudaFree(d_B));
CHECK(cudaFree(d_C));
// free host memory
free(h_A);
free(h_B);
free(hostRef);
free(gpuRef);
return(0);
}
第四题
参考文件sumMatrixOnGPU-2D-gril-1D-block.cu,新建内核,使每个线程处理两个元素。
思路同上,由于是二维索引,所以采取的划分是按照纵坐标y将数据对半划分,可以直观理解为沿着y/2将数据对折,然后同一个线程处理数据为两个块中对应位置即可:
# include <cuda_runtime.h>
# include <stdio.h>
# include <sys/time.h>
# include "common.h"
// grid 2D block 1D
__global__ void sumMatrixsOnGPUMix(float *MatA, float *MatB, float *MatC,
int nx, int ny)
{
int ix = threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x;
int iy = blockIdx.y;
int idx = iy * nx + ix;
if (ix < nx && iy < ny/2) {
MatC[idx] = MatA[idx] + MatB[idx];
MatC[idx + nx*ny/2] = MatA[idx + nx*ny/2] + MatB[idx + nx*ny/2];
}
}
int main(int argc, char **argv){
printf("%s Startin... \n", argv[0]);
//set up device
int dev = 0;
cudaDeviceProp deviceProp;
CHECK(cudaGetDeviceProperties(&deviceProp, dev));
printf("Using Device %d: %s\n", dev, deviceProp.name);
CHECK(cudaSetDevice(dev));
// matrix size
int nx = 1<<13;
int ny = 1<<5; // 2**18
int nxy = nx * ny;
int nBytes = nxy * sizeof(float);
printf("Matrix size:nx %d, ny %d\n", nx, ny);
float *h_A, *h_B, *hostRef, *gpuRef;
h_A = (float *)malloc(nBytes);
h_B = (float *)malloc(nBytes);
hostRef = (float *)malloc(nBytes);
gpuRef = (float *)malloc(nBytes);
// initialize data at host side
double iStart, iElaps;
iStart = cpuSecond();
initialData(h_A, nxy);
initialData(h_B, nxy);
iElaps = cpuSecond() - iStart;
memset(hostRef, 0, nBytes);
memset(gpuRef, 0, nBytes);
iStart = cpuSecond();
sumMatrixsOnHost(h_A, h_B, hostRef, nx, ny);
iElaps = cpuSecond() - iStart;
// malloc device global memory
float *d_MatA, *d_MatB, *d_MatC;
cudaMalloc((float **)&d_MatA, nBytes);
cudaMalloc((float **)&d_MatB, nBytes);
cudaMalloc((float **)&d_MatC, nBytes);
// transfer data from host to device
cudaMemcpy(d_MatA, h_A, nBytes, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
cudaMemcpy(d_MatB, h_B, nBytes, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
// invoke kernel at host to device
dim3 block (256); // 2维块设置
dim3 grid ((nx+block.x-1)/block.x, ny/2); // 2维网格设置
/*
<<<(1024, 16384), (16, 1)>>> Time elapsed 0.021947sec
<<<(512, 16384), (32, 1)>>> Time elapsed 0.011039sec
<<<(64, 16384), (256, 1)>>> Time elapsed 0.009063sec
*/
iStart = cpuSecond();
sumMatrixsOnGPUMix<<<grid, block>>>(d_MatA, d_MatB, d_MatC, nx, ny);
cudaDeviceSynchronize(); // 测试用,同步线程,实际无需等待子线程
iElaps = cpuSecond() - iStart;
printf("sumArraysOnGPU <<<(%d, %d), (%d, %d)>>> Time elapsed %f" \
"sec\n", grid.x, grid.y, block.x, block.y, iElaps);
cudaMemcpy(gpuRef, d_MatC, nBytes, cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost);
checkResult(hostRef, gpuRef, nxy);
// free device global memory
cudaFree(d_MatA);
cudaFree(d_MatB);
cudaFree(d_MatC);
// free host memory
free(h_A);
free(h_B);
free(hostRef);
free(gpuRef);
// reset device
cudaDeviceReset();
return 0;
}
运行结果如下:
附common.h文件
# include <cuda_runtime.h>
# include <stdio.h>
# include <sys/time.h>
# define CHECK(call) \
{ \
const cudaError_t error = call; \

{ \
fprintf(stderr, "Error: %s:%d, ", __FILE__, __LINE__); \

cudaGetErrorString(error)); \
exit(1); \
} \

}
}
double cpuSecond() {

return ((double)tp.tv_sec + (double)tp.tv_usec*1.e-6);
}

hostRef[i], gpuRef[i], i);
break;
}
}
if (match) printf("Arrays match.\n\n");
}
