Trignometric functions on GPU

Specific Domains GPU
1

I tried executing a simple function involving sin and cos as below:

using CUDAdrv,CUDAnative,CuArrays
sine(x::Float32) = sin(x)
cosine(x::Float32) = cos(x)
CuArrays.@cufunc sine(x::Real) =  sin(x)
CuArrays.@cufunc cosine(x::Real) =  cos(x)

function update(cedg,b,s,c)
    index = (blockIdx().x - 1) * blockDim().x + threadIdx().x
    stride = blockDim().x * gridDim().x
    for i = index:stride:length(cedg)
      if(cedg[i]!=0)
        @inbounds s+=cedg[i]*sine(b[i])
        @inbounds c+=cedg[i]*cosine(b[i])
      end
    end
    return nothing
end

On trying to run it,

cedg=CuArrays.rand(10000)
b=CuArrays.rand(10000)
s=0f0
c=0f0
numblocks = ceil(Int, 10000/256)
@cuda threads=256 blocks=numblocks update!(cedg,b,s,c)

I get the following error

How do I fix this?

Hello,

this is what I’ve found on this issue (see the bottom of the page):

Many mathematical functions are provided by the libdevice library, and are wrapped by CUDAnative.jl. These functions implement interfaces that are similar to existing functions in Base , albeit often with support for fewer types.

and

in kernel code, call CUDAnative.sin instead of plain sin

I tried what you suggested,

function update(cedg,b,s,c)
    index = (blockIdx().x - 1) * blockDim().x + threadIdx().x
    stride = blockDim().x * gridDim().x
    for i = index:stride:length(cedg)
      if(cedg[i]!=0)
        @inbounds s+=cedg[i]*CUDAnative.sin(b[i])
        @inbounds c+=cedg[i]*CUDAnative.cos(b[i])
      end
    end
    return nothing
end

I still get the following error:

Those error messages seem to be identical. Did you update the function definition?

You were right. For some reason, the redefinition of the function was not getting affected. And strangely now, both the versions of the function work! I have another question though, I initialise s and c outside of the function, but on executing the function their values remain unaffected. Why is this so?
