SIMT Intrinsics

For the CUDA backend, Taichi supports warp-level and block-level intrinsics, which are needed for writing high-performance SIMT kernels. 你可以在 Taichi 中以类似于 CUDA 内核中的用法 使用它们。 目前支持以下函数：

运算	映射的 CUDA 内建函数
ti.simt.warp.all_nonzero	__all_sync
ti.simt.warp.any_nonzero	__any_sync
ti.simt.warp.unique	__uni_sync
ti.simt.warp.ballot	__ballot_sync
ti.simt.warp.shfl_sync_i32	__shfl_sync
ti.simt.warp.shfl_sync_f32	__shfl_sync
ti.simt.warp.shfl_up_i32	__shfl_up_sync
ti.simt.warp.shfl_up_f32	__shfl_up_sync
ti.simt.warp.shfl_down_i32	__shfl_down_sync
ti.simt.warp.shfl_down_f32	__shfl_down_sync
ti.simt.warp.shfl_xor_i32	__shfl_xor_sync
ti.simt.warp.match_any	__match_any_sync
ti.simt.warp.match_all	__match_all_sync
ti.simt.warp.active_mask	__activemask
ti.simt.warp.sync	__syncwarp

See Taichi's API reference for more information on each function.

Here is an example of performing data exchange within a warp in Taichi:

a = ti.field(dtype=ti.i32, shape=32)

@ti.kernel
def foo():
    ti.loop_config(block_dim=32)
    for i in range(32):
        a[i] = ti.simt.warp.shfl_up_i32(ti.u32(0xFFFFFFFF), a[i], 1)

for i in range(32):
    a[i] = i * i

foo()

for i in range(1, 32):
    assert a[i] == (i - 1) * (i - 1)
