    copied!<p>I am trying implements an asynchronous PSO. My approach to do this was the following: </p> <pre><code>__global__ void particle(double *pos, double *pbest, double *vpbest, double *vel, double *gbest){ int thread = threadIdx.x + blockDim.x * blockIdx.x; int particle, i = 0; double tpbest; double l, r; int index, best, j; if(thread &lt; DIMPAR){ particle = thread / NDIM; do{ best = ring(vpbest, &amp;particle); index = (best * NDIM) + (thread % NDIM); l = (double) 2.05 * (double) uniform(thread) * ( pbest[thread] - pos[thread] ); r = (double) 2.05 * (double) uniform(thread) * ( pbest[index] - pos[thread] ); vel[thread] = vel[thread] + l + r; pos[thread] = pos[thread] + vel[thread]; __syncthreads(); // I am trying wait all threads write in global memory if( (thread % NDIM) == 0 ){ //only one thread replace the vector tpbest = rastrigin(pos, particle * NDIM, NDIM); if(tpbest &lt; vpbest[particle]){ vpbest[particle] = tpbest; for(j = 0 ; j &lt; NDIM; j++){ pbest[(particle * NDIM) + j] = pos[(particle * NDIM) + j]; } } } i++; }while(i &lt; 10000); } } </code></pre> <p>the call:</p> <pre><code>particle&lt;&lt;&lt;1,512&gt;&gt;&gt;(d_pos, d_pbest, d_vpbest, d_velo, d_gbest); </code></pre> <p>Sometimes there is a problem with sync...some values in pos[thread] diverges. In section B.6 CUDA_C_PROGRAMMING GUIDE:</p> <blockquote> <p>waits until all threads in the thread block have reached this point and all <strong>global</strong> and shared memory accesses made by these threads prior to __syncthreads() are visible to all threads in the block.</p> </blockquote> <p>pos vector it's like this:</p> <p>p0 = [0,1,2] //particle 1</p> <p>p1 = [3,4,5] //particle 2</p> <p>p2 = [6,7,8] //particle 3</p> <p>pos = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] //pos vector, DIMPAR = 9; NPAR = 3; NDIM = 3</p> <p>when I use NDIM >= 30 the divergence happen </p> <p>how to ensure the sync using a global memory?</p>
