I'm attempting to implement a simple barrel shifter. I'm able to get it to work using a task based approach but am unable to do so using an NDRange based kernel. I've posted both kernels below. I'd appreciate some insight into how the implementation of the NDRange approach differs from the task.
__kernel
__attribute__((reqd_work_group_size(360,1,1)))
__attribute__((max_work_group_size(360)))
void barrelShifter_nd(
__global unsigned char * restrict dataIn,
const uint shift,
__global unsigned char * restrict dataOut
)
{
char __attribute((register)) din[720];
uint gid = get_global_id(0);
din[gid] = dataIn[gid] & 0x1;
din[360+gid] = dataIn[gid] & 0x1;
dataOut[gid] = din[shift+gid];
}
__kernel
__attribute__((task))
void barrelShifter_task(
__global unsigned char * restrict dataIn,
const uint shift,
__global unsigned char * restrict dataOut
)
{
char __attribute((register)) din[720];
for(uint i=0; i<360; i++)
{
din
= datain & 0x1;
din[360+i] = dataIn
& 0x1;
}
# pragma unroll
for(uint i=0; i<360; i++)
{
dataout = din[shift+i];
}
}
