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!

  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

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.
