Description
Hello, I have to use cudaDeviceSynchronize kind of function to wait to kernel to get finished but we can not use any kind of synchronization at device functions after version 11.6
May I request an example for it?
Here's the code that I'm trying to run:
__global__ void NNFeedForwardNormalMultiple(double* __restrict__ values, double* __restrict__ weigths, double* result, int inputsize, int outputsize) {
int idx = threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x;
int outputidx = idx / outputsize;
int inputidx = idx % outputsize;
if (outputidx >= outputsize || inputidx >= inputsize) {
return;
}
atomicAdd(&result[outputidx], values[inputidx] * weigths[outputsize*outputidx + inputidx]);
}
__global__ void NNFeedForwardNormalActivate(double* __restrict__ biases, double* result, int size) {
int idx = threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x;
if (idx >= size) {
return;
}
result[idx] = 1.0 / (1.0 + exp(-(result[idx] + biases[idx])));
}
__global__ void NNFeedForwardNormal(double* __restrict__ values, double* __restrict__ weigths, double* result, double* __restrict__ biases, int inputsize, int outputsize) {
int blocksize = (inputsize * outputsize + THREADS_PER_BLOCK - 1)/THREADS_PER_BLOCK;
NNFeedForwardNormalMultiple<<<blocksize, THREADS_PER_BLOCK>>>(values, weigths, result, inputsize, outputsize);
//normally cudaDeviceSynchronize() kind of function to wait for child kernel to finish;
NNFeedForwardNormalActivate<<<(outputsize + THREADS_PER_BLOCK - 1)/THREADS_PER_BLOCK, THREADS_PER_BLOCK>>>(biases, result, outputsize);
}
Thanks!

Research direction
Start from the NNFeedForwardNormal entry point and the NNFeedForwardNormalMultiple and NNFeedForwardNormalActivate kernel launches shown in the issue. Review the requested CUDA Toolkit 11.6-or-later behavior and determine what example scope is needed. Done means the repository contains a working example that demonstrates the requested synchronization behavior.
