本文主要通过例子介绍了CUDA异构编程模型,需要说明的是Grid、Block和Thread都是逻辑结构,不是物理结构。实现例子代码参考文献[2],只需要把相应章节对应的 1.Grid、Block和Thread间的关系 2.检查网格和块的索引和维度(checkDimension.cu) 输出结果如下所示: 3.在主机上定义网格和块的大小(defineGridBlock.cu) 输出结果,如下所示: 4.基于GPU的向量加法(sumArraysOnGPU-small-case.cu) 输出结果如下所示:

GPU中最重要的2种内存是全局内存和共享内存,前者类似于CPU系统内存,而后者类似于CPU缓存,然后GPU共享内存可由CUDA C内核直接控制。GPU简化的内存结构,如下所示:
由一个内核启动所产生的所有thread统称为一个grid,同一个grid中的所有thread共享相同的全局内存空间。一个grid由多个block构成,一个block包含一组thread,同一block内的thread通过同步、共享内存方式进行线程协作,不同block内的thread不能协作。由block和grid构成的2层的thread层次结构,如下所示:
CUDA可以组织3维的grid和block。blockIdx表示线程块在线程格内的索引,threadIdx表示块内的线程索引;blockDim表示每个线程块中的线程数,gridDim表示网格中的线程块数。这些变量允许开发人员在编写CUDA代码时,从逻辑上管理和组织线程块和网格的大小,从而优化并行执行的效率。如下所示:
确定grid和block的方法为先确定block的大小,然后根据实际数据大小和block大小的基础上计算grid维度,如下所示:// 检查网格和块的索引和维度

(1)host和device同步
核函数的调用和主机线程是异步的,即核函数调用结束后,控制权立即返回给主机端,可以调用cudaDeviceSynchronize(void)
函数来强制主机端程序等待所有的核函数执行结束。当使用cudaMemcpy
函数在host和device间拷贝数据时,host端隐式同步,即host端程序必须等待数据拷贝完成后才能继续执行程序。需要说明的是,所有CUDA核函数的启动都是异步的,当CUDA内核调用完成后,控制权立即返回给CPU。
(2)函数类型限定符
函数类型限定符指定一个函数在host上执行还是在device上执行,以及可被host调用还是被device调用,函数类型限定符如下所示:
说明:__device__
和__host__
限定符可以一起使用,这样可同时在host和device端进行编译。
