Threads within a CTA execute in SIMT (single-instruction, multiple-thread) fashion in groups called warps. The vector ntid specifies the number of threads in each CTA dimension. The number of thread ids in that CTA dimension.Įach CTA has a 1D, 2D, or 3D shape specified by a three-element vector ntid (with elements ntid.x, ntid.y, and ntid.z). Each thread identifier component ranges from zero up to Vector tid, (with elements tid.x, tid.y, and tid.z) that specifies the thread's position within a 1D, 2D, or 3D CTA. Each CTA thread uses its thread identifier to determine its assigned role,Īssign specific input and output positions, compute addresses, and select work to perform. Work, and results across the threads of the CTA. Programs use a data parallel decomposition to partition inputs, Specify synchronization points where threads wait until all threads in the CTA have arrived.Įach thread has a unique thread identifier within the CTA. To coordinate the communication of the threads within the CTA, one can Threads within a CTA can communicate with each other. The Parallel Thread Execution (PTX) programming model is explicitly parallel: a PTX program specifies the execution of a given thread of a parallel thread array.Ī cooperative thread array, or CTA, is an array of threads that execute a kernel concurrently or in parallel.
The PTX-to-GPU translator and driver enable NVIDIA GPUs to be used as programmable PTX programs are translated at install time PTX defines a virtual machine and ISA for general purpose parallel thread execution. Processing, from general signal processing or physics simulation to computational finance or computational biology. In fact, many algorithms outside the field of image rendering and processing are accelerated by data-parallel Video encoding and decoding, image scaling, stereo vision, and pattern recognition can map image blocks and pixels to parallel Similarly, image and media processing applications such as post-processing of rendered images, In 3D rendering large sets of pixels and verticesĪre mapped to parallel threads. Many applications that process large data setsĬan use a data-parallel programming model to speed up the computations. Because the same program is executed for each data element, there is a lower requirement for sophisticated flowĬontrol and because it is executed on many data elements and has high arithmetic intensity, the memory access latency canīe hidden with calculations instead of big data caches.ĭata-parallel processing maps data elements to parallel processing threads. Is executed on many data elements in parallel - with high arithmetic intensity - the ratio of arithmetic operations to memory
The GPU is especially well-suited to address problems that can be expressed as data-parallel computations - the same program Highly parallel, multithreaded, many-core processor with tremendous computational horsepower and very high memory bandwidth.
