Detailed Description

OpenCL-based reduction based on the NVIDIA OpenCL reduction SDK sample.

For small arrays with n <= 128 the GPU code isn't used since the block size is fixed in the kernel. Setting the block size dynamically would require recompilation of the kernel which probably isn't very efficient. Therefore the sum is computed on the CPU in these cases.

Member Function Documentation

reduce()

float ImFusion::ClReduction::reduce	(	const ClImage &	data,
		int	size,
		ClImage *	outputBuffer = nullptr )

Reduce contents of data.

Data has to be a 1D buffer of floats. If outputBuffer is provided it has to be a 1D buffer with 64 floats. The result of the reduction is obtained by summing over the 64 entries. In this case the return value will always be zero. If outputBuffer is not provided the buffer will be downloaded and reduced internally.
