Chapter 6 Constant Memory and Events
We hope you have learned much about writing code that executes on the GPU. You should know how to spawn parallel blocks to execute your kernels, and you should know how to further split these blocks into parallel threads. You have also seen ways to enable communication and synchronization between these threads. But since the book is not over yet, you may have guessed that CUDA C has even more features that might be useful to you.
This chapter will introduce you to a couple of these more advanced features. Specifically, there exist ways in which you can exploit special regions of memory on your GPU in order to accelerate your applications. In this chapter, we will discuss one of these regions of memory:
