GpuBlockSize

The number of threads in a block.

Declaration

Syntax

GpuBlockSize(int dim, ttype type, expr? value)

Arguments

Argument

Description

dim

which dimension to report, counting from zero.

type

the type of the expression.

value

the compile time value of the expression, when the frontend could fold it; nil otherwise.

Return values

The value of the expression.

Description

This is the block_size the kernel was launched with. It is read at run time rather than baked in, so one kernel can be launched with different configurations.

Examples

(GpuBlockSize
  :dim 0
  :type (Integer
    :kind 4
  )
  :value nil
)
