代码snippit计算3D矢量幅度:mag = sqrt(X * X + Y * Y + Z * Z)

// Note: blockDim.x = 300, gMem= ptr to global mem chunk
__shared__ sMem[100];
float regA;
for (j=0; j<50; j++) {
  if(threadIdx.x < 3) {
    regA= gMem[j];
    sMem[threadIdx.x]= regA*regA;  // Line A   write 5193
  }  
  __syncthreads();
  if(threadIdx.x == 0) {
    regA= sMem[0];                 // Line B   read 5197
    regA+= sMem[1];
    regA+= sMem[2];                // Line C   read 5199 
    sMem[0]= sqrt(regA);
  }
}

syncthreads正在防止RAW危害。没有它,我得到RAW&amp; WAR危险警告。 W /它,我仍然得到WAR警告。警告来自线路对AB&amp; AC

为什么 __ synthreads(); 不能防止WAR危害?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

当代码执行第5197行和第5199行,然后循环回第5193行时,没有介入__synthreads()。
