Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~CodeGen_GPU_Dev()

virtual Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::~CodeGen_GPU_Dev ( )

virtual

Member Function Documentation

add_kernel()

virtual void Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::add_kernel ( Stmt stmt, const std::string & name, const std::vector< DeviceArgument > & args )

pure virtual

Compile a GPU kernel into the module.

This may be called many times with different kernels, which will all be accumulated into a single source module shared by a given Halide pipeline.

init_module()

virtual void Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::init_module ( )

pure virtual

(Re)initialize the GPU kernel module.

This is separate from compile, since a GPU device module will often have many kernels compiled into it for a single pipeline.

compile_to_src()

virtual std::vector< char > Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::compile_to_src ( )

pure virtual

get_current_kernel_name()

virtual std::string Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::get_current_kernel_name ( )

pure virtual

dump()

virtual void Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::dump ( )

pure virtual

api_unique_name()

virtual std::string Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::api_unique_name ( )

pure virtual

This routine returns the GPU API name that is combined into runtime routine names to ensure each GPU API has a unique name.

print_gpu_name()

virtual std::string Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::print_gpu_name ( const std::string & name )

pure virtual

Returns the specified name transformed by the variable naming rules for the GPU language backend.

Used to determine the name of a parameter during host codegen.

kernel_run_takes_types()

virtual bool Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::kernel_run_takes_types ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Allows the GPU device specific code to request halide_type_t values to be passed to the kernel_run routine rather than just argument type sizes.

Definition at line 54 of file CodeGen_GPU_Dev.h.

is_block_uniform()

static bool Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::is_block_uniform ( const Expr & expr )

static

Checks if expr is block uniform, i.e.

does not depend on a thread var.

is_buffer_constant()

static bool Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::is_buffer_constant ( const Stmt & kernel, const std::string & buffer )

static

Checks if the buffer is a candidate for constant storage.

Most GPUs (APIs) support a constant memory storage class that cannot be written to and performs well for block uniform accesses. A buffer is a candidate for constant storage if it is never written to, and loads are uniform within the workgroup.

scalarize_predicated_loads_stores()

static Stmt Halide::Internal::CodeGen_GPU_Dev::scalarize_predicated_loads_stores ( Stmt & s )

static

Modifies predicated loads and stores to be non-predicated, since most GPU backends do not support predication.
