__device__ __nv_bfloat162 __shfl_down_sync(const unsigned int mask, const __nv_bfloat162 var, const unsigned int delta, const int width = warpSize)

Exchange a variable between threads within a warp.

Copy from a thread with higher ID relative to the caller.

Calculates a source thread ID by adding delta to the caller’s thread ID. The value of var held by the resulting thread ID is returned: this has the effect of shifting var down the warp by delta threads. If the width is less than warpSize, then each subsection of the warp behaves as a separate entity with a starting logical thread ID of 0. Similarly to the __shfl_up_sync(), the ID number of the source thread will not wrap around the value of width and the upper delta threads will remain unchanged. Threads may only read data from another thread which is actively participating in the __shfl_*sync() command. If the target thread is inactive, the retrieved value is undefined.

Note

For more details about this function, see the Warp Shuffle Functions section in the CUDA C++ Programming Guide.

Parameters

  • mask – [in] - unsigned int. Is only being read.

    • Indicates the threads participating in the call.

    • A bit, representing the thread’s lane ID, must be set for each participating thread to ensure they are properly converged before the intrinsic is executed by the hardware.

    • Each calling thread must have its own bit set in the mask and all non-exited threads named in mask must execute the same intrinsic with the same mask, or the result is undefined.

  • var – [in] - nv_bfloat162. Is only being read.

  • delta – [in] - unsigned int. Is only being read.

  • width – [in] - int. Is only being read.

Returns

Returns the 4-byte word referenced by var from the source thread ID as nv_bfloat162.

Exchange a variable between threads within a warp.

Direct copy from indexed thread.

Returns the value of var held by the thread whose ID is given by srcLane. If the width is less than warpSize, then each subsection of the warp behaves as a separate entity with a starting logical thread ID of 0. If srcLane is outside the range [0:width-1], the value returned corresponds to the value of var held by the srcLane modulo width (i.e. within the same subsection). width must have a value which is a power of 2; results are undefined if width is not a power of 2, or is a number greater than warpSize. Threads may only read data from another thread which is actively participating in the __shfl_*sync() command. If the target thread is inactive, the retrieved value is undefined.

Exchange a variable between threads within a warp.

Copy from a thread with lower ID relative to the caller.

Calculates a source thread ID by subtracting delta from the caller’s lane ID. The value of var held by the resulting lane ID is returned: in effect, var is shifted up the warp by delta threads. If the width is less than warpSize, then each subsection of the warp behaves as a separate entity with a starting logical thread ID of 0. The source thread index will not wrap around the value of width, so effectively the lower delta threads will be unchanged. width must have a value which is a power of 2; results are undefined if width is not a power of 2, or is a number greater than warpSize. Threads may only read data from another thread which is actively participating in the __shfl_*sync() command. If the target thread is inactive, the retrieved value is undefined.

Exchange a variable between threads within a warp.

Copy from a thread based on bitwise XOR of own thread ID.

Calculates a source thread ID by performing a bitwise XOR of the caller’s thread ID with laneMask: the value of var held by the resulting thread ID is returned. If the width is less than warpSize, then each group of width consecutive threads are able to access elements from earlier groups of threads, however if they attempt to access elements from later groups of threads their own value of var will be returned. This mode implements a butterfly addressing pattern such as is used in tree reduction and broadcast. Threads may only read data from another thread which is actively participating in the __shfl_*sync() command. If the target thread is inactive, the retrieved value is undefined.

Convert the unsigned short integer value i to a nv_bfloat16 floating-point value in round-down mode.

Parameters

i – [in] - unsigned short int. Is only being read.

Returns

nv_bfloat16

  • i converted to nv_bfloat16.

__host__ __device__ __nv_bfloat16 __ushort2bfloat16_rn(const unsigned short int i)

__host__ __device__ __nv_bfloat16 __ushort_as_bfloat16(const unsigned short int i)

Reinterprets bits in an unsigned short integer as a nv_bfloat16.

Reinterprets the bits in the unsigned short integer i as a nv_bfloat16 floating-point number.

Parameters

i – [in] - unsigned short int. Is only being read.

Returns

__host__ __device__ __nv_bfloat162 make_bfloat162(const __nv_bfloat16 x, const __nv_bfloat16 y)

Vector function, combines two nv_bfloat16 numbers into one nv_bfloat162 number.

Combines two input nv_bfloat16 number x and y into one nv_bfloat162 number. Input x is stored in low 16 bits of the return value, input y is stored in high 16 bits of the return value.

Parameters

  • x – [in] - nv_bfloat16. Is only being read.

  • y – [in] - nv_bfloat16. Is only being read.

Returns

__nv_bfloat162

  • The __nv_bfloat162 vector with one half equal to x and the other to y.
