Descrição

In a kernel whose layout has lanes (see gpu_kernel_layout), a statement that must not be repeated by every lane of an iteration – it writes memory the lanes share, or takes elements of the device heap – runs on the first lane only. Each lane holds its own copy of a scalar local, so after the statement every lane takes the scalars it assigned from the first one: x = GpuLaneBroadcast(x). Every lane of the iteration evaluates it at the same point. Only such a kernel has one.
