algorithm - Guidance for DIY Implementation of Parallel Merge Sort (parallel merge) on CUDA 8 -


for past few days i've been working on scratch parallel merge sort algorithm, have been stewing on lot , while easy run sequential sort in parallel. see no reason why can't merge in parallel ground up. following link:

http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~itf/dbpp/text/node127.html

i doing parallel merge. i've been working on how recursion , loops , i'd rather recursion think have working model loop. i've scratched out work , i'll describe how want set algorithm first i'll describe merge kernel

__global__ void merge(int* data, int depth) {     sequential merge (data, left = threadidx.x, right = left + 2 ^ depth - 1); }

right left offset 2 ^ depth - 1 because that's relationship noticed in working algorithm out hand

sort 3  1  7  4  9  0  2  6  8  5        \ /   \ /   \ /   \ /   \ /      merge(left, left + 2 - 1)      1 3   4 7   0 9   2 6   5 8          \ /         \ /       /       merge(left, left + 4 - 1)      1 3 4 7     0 2 6 9    5 8             \   /          /          merge(left, left + 8 - 1)      0 1 2 3 4 6 7 9     5 8                     \  /              merge(left, size)      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

i thinking of doing in loop this

mergesort(int* data, int size) {     int depth = 1;      int maxdepth = log base 2 (size)      // # blocks = size / 512 threads per block     int blocks = size / 512;      // # threads = size / blocks / 2 because 1 merge per 2 elements     int threads = (size / blocks) / 2;      int index = 0;      while (depth < maxdepth)     {         merge<<< blocks / depth, threads / depth>>>(data, depth++);     } }

do seem on right track or thinking off?

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj...

What is happening when Matlab is starting a "parallel pool"? -

running parallel cpu processes in matlab starts command parpool() according documentation , function: [creates] special job on pool of workers, , [connects] matlab client parallel pool. this function takes bit of time execute, on order of 30 seconds. in other multi-cpu paradigms openmp, parallel execution seems totally transparent -- i've never noticed behavior analogous matlab (granted i'm not experienced parallel programming). so, happening between time parpool() called , when finishes executing? takes long? parallel computing toolbox enables run matlab code in parallel using several different paradigms (e.g. jobs , tasks, parfor , spmd , parfeval , batch processing), , run either locally (parallelised across cores in local machine) or remotely (parallelised across machines in cluster - either 1 own, or 1 in cloud). in of these cases, code run on matlab workers , copies of matlab without interactive desktop. if you're intending run on remo...

php - Cannot override Laravel Spark authentication with own implementation -

during login process of laravel spark need request token of remote api. api stores exact same users , passwords laravel spark application. therefore need username , non hashed password of user during authentication process. i thought overriding authenticated method solution problem. in routes/web.php override post /login endpoint , pointing endpoint own logincontroller: <?php namespace app\http\controllers\auth; use illuminate\support\facades\log; use illuminate\http\request; use laravel\spark\http\controllers\auth\logincontroller sparklogincontroller; class logincontroller extends sparklogincontroller { /** * create new login controller instance. * * @return void */ public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } /** * handle successful authentication attempt. * * @param request $request * @param \illuminate\contracts\auth\authenticatable $user * @return response */ public fu...
