Parallel inclusive scan primitive for device level.

inclusive_scan function performs a device-wide inclusive prefix scan operation using binary scan_op operator.

Overview

  • Supports non-commutative scan operators. However, a scan operator should be associative. When used with non-associative functions the results may be non-deterministic and/or vary in precision.

  • Returns the required size of temporary_storage in storage_size if temporary_storage in a null pointer.

  • Ranges specified by input and output must have at least size elements.

  • By default, the input type is used for accumulation. A custom type can be specified using the AccType type parameter, see the example below.

Example

In this example a device-level inclusive sum operation is performed on an array of integer values (shorts are scanned into ints).

#include <rocprim/rocprim.hpp>

// Prepare input and output (declare pointers, allocate device memory etc.)
size_t input_size;    // e.g., 8
short * input;        // e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
int * output;         // empty array of 8 elements

size_t temporary_storage_size_bytes;
void * temporary_storage_ptr = nullptr;
// Get required size of the temporary storage
rocprim::inclusive_scan(
    temporary_storage_ptr, temporary_storage_size_bytes,
    input, output, input_size, rocprim::plus<int>()
);

// allocate temporary storage
hipMalloc(&temporary_storage_ptr, temporary_storage_size_bytes);

// perform scan
rocprim::inclusive_scan(
    temporary_storage_ptr, temporary_storage_size_bytes,
    input, output, input_size, rocprim::plus<int>()
);
// output: [1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36]

The same example as above, but now a custom accumulator type is specified.

#include <rocprim/rocprim.hpp>

size_t input_size;

  • Config – - [optional] configuration of the primitive, has to be scan_by_key_config or a class derived from it.

  • KeysInputIterator – - random-access iterator type of the input range. It can be a simple pointer type.

  • ValuesInputIterator – - random-access iterator type of the input range. It can be a simple pointer type.

  • ValuesOutputIterator – - random-access iterator type of the output range. It can be a simple pointer type.

  • InitValueType – - type of the initial value.

  • BinaryFunction – - type of binary function used for scan. Default type is rocprim::plus<T>, where T is a value_type of InputIterator.

  • KeyCompareFunction – - type of binary function used to determine keys equality. Default type is rocprim::equal_to<T>, where T is a value_type of KeysInputIterator.

  • AccType – - accumulator type used to propagate the scanned values. Default type is ‘InitValueType’, unless it’s ‘rocprim::future_value’. Then it will be the wrapped input type.

Parameters:
  • temporary_storage[in] - pointer to a device-accessible temporary storage. When a null pointer is passed, the required allocation size (in bytes) is written to storage_size and function returns without performing the scan operation.

  • storage_size[inout] - reference to a size (in bytes) of temporary_storage.

  • keys_input[in] - iterator to the first element in the range of keys.

  • values_input[in] - iterator to the first element in the range of values to scan.

  • values_output[out] - iterator to the first element in the output value range.

  • initial_value[in] - initial value to start the scan. A rocpim::future_value may be passed to use a value that will be later computed.

  • size[in] - number of element in the input range.

  • scan_op[in] - binary operation function object that will be used for scanning input values. The signature of the function should be equivalent to the following: T f(const T &a, const T &b);. The signature does not need to have const &, but function object must not modify the objects passed to it. Default is BinaryFunction().

  • key_compare_op[in] - binary operation function object that will be used to determine keys equality. The signature of the function should be equivalent to the following: bool f(const T &a, const T &b);. The signature does not need to have const &, but function object must not modify the objects passed to it. Default is KeyCompareFunction().

  • stream[in] - [optional] HIP stream object. Default is 0 (default stream).

  • debug_synchronous[in] - [optional] If true, synchronization after every kernel launch is forced in order to check for errors. Default value is false.

Returns:

hipSuccess (0) after successful scan; otherwise a HIP runtime error of type hipError_t.
