36 * \brief This file defines the PME GPU compile-time constants/macros,
37 * used both in device and host code.
39 * As OpenCL C is not aware of constexpr, most of this file is
40 * forwarded to the OpenCL kernel compilation as defines with same
41 * names, for the sake of code similarity.
43 * \todo The values are currently common to both CUDA and OpenCL
44 * implementations, but should be reconsidered when we tune the OpenCL
45 * implementation. See Redmine #2528.

92 Here is a current memory layout for the theta/dtheta B-spline float parameter arrays.
93 This is the data in global memory used both by spreading and gathering kernels (with same scheduling).
94 This example has PME order 4 and 2 particles per warp/data chunk.
95 Each particle has 16 threads assigned to it, each thread works on 4 non-sequential global grid contributions.
97 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
98 particles 0, 1 | particles 2, 3 | ...
99 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
100 order index 0 | index 1 | index 2 | index 3 | order index 0 .....
101 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
102 tx0 tx1 ty0 ty1 tz0 tz1 | ..........
103 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
105 Each data chunk for a single warp is 24 floats. This goes both for theta and dtheta.
106 24 = 2 particles per warp * order 4 * 3 dimensions. 48 floats (1.5 warp size) per warp in total.
107 I have also tried intertwining theta and theta in a single array (they are used in pairs in gathering stage anyway)
108 and it didn't seem to make a performance difference.
110 The spline indexing is isolated in the 2 inline functions:
111 getSplineParamIndexBase() return a base shared memory index corresponding to the atom in the block;
112 getSplineParamIndex() consumes its results and adds offsets for dimension and spline value index.
114 The corresponding defines follow.
