Chapter 5 Thread Cooperation
We have now written our first program using CUDA C as well as have seen how to write code that executes in parallel on a GPU. This is an excellent start! But arguably one of the most important components to parallel programming is the means by which the parallel processing elements cooperate on solving a problem. Rare are the problems where every processor can compute results and terminate execution without a passing thought as to what the other processors are doing. For even moderately sophisticated algorithms, we will need the parallel copies of our code to communicate and cooperate. So far, we have not seen any mechanisms for accomplishing this communication between sections of CUDA C code executing in parallel. ...
