●
Warp: a set of 32 parallel threads
that execute a SIMT instruction
SIMT provides easy single-thread scalar
programming with SIMD efficiency
Hardware implements zero-overhead
warp and thread scheduling
SIMT threads can execute independently
●
●
SIMT warp diverges and converges when
threads branch independently
Best efficiency and performance when threads
of a warp execute together
Multiple Memory Scopes
●
Per-thread private memory
●
●
●
●
●
Each thread has its own
local memory
Stacks, other private data
Per-thread-block shared
memory
●
Per-thread

Hiding LOAD Latency

Hiding LOAD Latency w/ Fewer
Threads
● Use batching
● Group independent
●
LOADs together
Modified law:
N
lL
B
● B = batch size
© NVIDIA Corporation 2008
// batch size 3 example
float *d_A, *d_B, *d_C;
float a, b, c, result;
a = *d_A; b = *d_B; c = *d_C;
result = a * b + c;
●
●
The values ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’ are
loaded independently before being
used
Implication is that we can execute
3 loads from one thread before the
first use (‘a’ in this case) causes a
stall
Thread Synchronization
●
Barrier synchronization among threads of block
●
●
●
●
●
●
Fast single-instruction barrier in Tesla GPUs
void __syncthreads();
Synchronizes all threads in a thread block
Once all threads have reached this point,
kernel execution resumes normally
Use before reading shared memory written by another
thread in the same block
Global synchronization between dependent kernels
●
●
Waits for all thread blocks of kernel grid to complete

Use “limiter theory” to predict
SM performance
There are three types of limits
on the performance of the SM:
●

●
Bandwidth resource limiters
Per-thread-block space
limiters
Per-thread space limiters
The most constraining limiter
is called the critical limiter

Bandwidth Limiters
●
●
●
●
●
Thread blocks arrive at some rate λTB
Threads composed of some distribution of operations
Each arriving thread block of S threads contributes a
distribution of operations to be performed
Per operation type, the offered load, or BW DEMAND, is the
product of:
●
●
●
Thread block arrival rate λTB
# of threads S in a block
Operation density δ in each thread
BW CAPACITY is an upper bound on BW DEMAND
// Compute vector sum C = A+B
// Each thread performs one pair-wise addition
__global__ void vecAdd(float* A, float* B, float* C)
{
int i = threadIdx.x + blockDim.x * blockIdx.x;
C[i] = A[i] + B[i];

Implications of Limiter Theory
●
●
Kernel code has to pay careful attention to Operation “mix”
●
●
●
Don’t “freeway jam” kernel code
●
●
●
●
Math-to-memory operation ratios for example
Do not want to bottleneck on one function unit leaving other
units idling
Ideal: all units equally critical
Making thread blocks too large so that only a few execute on the
SM at a time a bad idea
“Bunching” operations of a similar type in one section of a
kernel will aggravate the problem
Ideal: lots of small thread blocks with uniform distribution of
operation densities
Focus on space resource consumption
●
Ideal: use as few resources necessary to “load the SM”
© NVIDIA Corporation 2008
Final Thoughts
●
●
●
Threads are free
●
●
●
●
●
●
A common mistake in GPU Computing kernels is to make
threads do too much
Keep them short and sweet
Example: one thread per vector element
HW provides LOTs of them (10s of thousands)
HW launch => near zero overhead to create them
HW context switching => near zero overhead scheduling
Barriers are cheap
●
●
●
●
Single instruction
HW synchronization of thread blocks
Partition kernel code into producer-consumer
DON’T use spin locks!
Partition on results, not sources
