// Halide tutorial lesson 5: Vectorize, parallelize, unroll and tile your code

// This lesson demonstrates how to manipulate the order in which you
// evaluate pixels in a Func, including vectorization,
// parallelization, unrolling, and tiling.

// On linux, you can compile and run it like so:
// g++ lesson_05*.cpp -g -I <path/to/Halide.h> -L <path/to/libHalide.so> -lHalide -lpthread -ldl -o lesson_05 -std=c++17
// LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path/to/libHalide.so> ./lesson_05

// On os x:
// g++ lesson_05*.cpp -g -I <path/to/Halide.h> -L <path/to/libHalide.so> -lHalide -o lesson_05 -std=c++17
// DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path/to/libHalide.dylib> ./lesson_05

// If you have the entire Halide source tree, you can also build it by
// running:
//    make tutorial_lesson_05_scheduling_1
// in a shell with the current directory at the top of the halide
// source tree.

        gradient.trace_stores();

        // This is where fusing shines. Fusing helps when you want to
        // parallelize across multiple dimensions without introducing
        // nested parallelism. Nested parallelism (parallel for loops
        // within parallel for loops) is supported by Halide, but
        // often gives poor performance compared to fusing the
