pseudo-associative reduction operators (like floating point addition)
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.7.1 08/18/2017
- Updated Volta radix sorting tuning policies
- Bug fixes:
- Issue #104 (uint64_t warp-reduce broken for cub 1.7.0 on cuda 8 and older)
- Issue #103 (Can't mix Thrust 9.0 and CUB)
- Issue #102 (CUB pulls in windows.h which defines min/max macros that conflict with std::min/std::max)
- Issue #99 (Radix sorting crashes NVCC on Windows 10 for SM52)

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.7.0 06/07/2017
- Compatible with CUDA9 and SM7.x (Volta) independent thread scheduling
- API change: remove cub::WarpAll() and cub::WarpAny(). These functions served to
emulate __all and __any functionality for SM1.x devices, which did not have those
operations. However, the SM1.x devices are now deprecated in CUDA, and the
interfaces of the these two functions are now lacking the lane-mask needed
for collectives to run on Volta SMs having independent thread scheduling.
- Bug fixes:
- Issue #86 Incorrect results with ReduceByKey
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.6.4 12/06/2016

- Remove out-dated VC project files
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.6.3 11/20/2016
- API change: BlockLoad and BlockStore are now templated by the local
data type, instead of the Iterator type. This allows for output iterators
having \p void as their \p value_type (e.g., discard iterators).
- Updated GP100 tuning policies for radix sorting (6.2B 32b keys/s)
- Bug fixes:
- Issue #74: Warpreduce executes reduction operator for out-of-bounds items
- Issue #72 (cub:InequalityWrapper::operator() should be non-const)
- Issue #71 (KeyVairPair won't work if Key has non-trivial ctor)
- Issue #70 1.5.3 breaks BlockScan API. Retroactively reversioned
from v1.5.3 -> v1.6 to appropriately indicate API change.
- Issue #69 cub::BlockStore::Store doesn't compile if OutputIteratorT::value_type != T
- Issue #68 (cub::TilePrefixCallbackOp::WarpReduce doesn't permit ptx
arch specialization)
- Improved support for Win32 platforms (warnings, alignment, etc)

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.6.1 (was 1.5.4) 10/14/2016
- Bug fixes:
- Fix for radix sorting bug introduced by scan refactorization
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.6.0 (was 1.5.3) 10/11/2016
- API change: Device/block/warp-wide exclusive scans have been revised to now
accept an "initial value" (instead of an "identity value") for seeding the
computation with an arbitrary prefix.
- API change: Device-wide reductions and scans can now have input sequence types that are
different from output sequence types (as long as they are coercible)
value") for seeding the computation with an arbitrary prefix
- Reduce repository size (move doxygen binary to doc repository)
- Minor reductions in block-scan instruction count
- Bug fixes:
- Issue #55: warning in cub/device/dispatch/dispatch_reduce_by_key.cuh
- Issue #59: cub::DeviceScan::ExclusiveSum can't prefix sum of float into double
- Issue #58: Infinite loop in cub::CachingDeviceAllocator::NearestPowerOf
- Issue #47: Caching allocator needs to clean up cuda error upon successful retry
- Issue #46: Very high amount of needed memory from the cub::DeviceHistogram::HistogramEven routine
- Issue #45: Caching Device Allocator fails with debug output enabled
- Fix for generic-type reduce-by-key warpscan (sm3.x and newer)
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.5.2 03/21/2016
- Improved medium-size scan performance for sm5x (Maxwell)
- Refactored caching allocator for device memory
- Spends less time locked
- Failure to allocate a block from the runtime will retry once after
freeing cached allocations
- Now respects max-bin (issue where blocks in excess of max-bin were
still being retained in free cache)
- Uses C++11 mutex when available
- Bug fixes:
- Fix for generic-type reduce-by-key warpscan (sm3.x and newer)

- New Features:
- Added new segmented device-wide operations for device-wide sort and
reduction primitives.
- Bug fixes:
- Fix for Git Issue 36 (Compilation error with GCC 4.8.4 nvcc 7.0.27) and
Forums thread (ThreadLoad generates compiler errors when loading from
pointer-to-const)
- Fix for Git Issue 29 (DeviceRadixSort::SortKeys<bool> yields compiler
errors)
- Fix for Git Issue 26 (CUDA error: misaligned address after
cub::DeviceRadixSort::SortKeys())
- Fix for incorrect/crash on 0-length problems, e.g., Git Issue 25 (Floating
point exception (core dumped) during cub::DeviceRadixSort::SortKeys)
- Fix for CUDA 7.5 issues on SM 5.2 with SHFL-based warp-scan and warp-reduction
on non-primitive data types (e.g., user-defined structs)
- Fix for small radix sorting problems where 0 temporary bytes were
required and users code was invoking malloc(0) on some systems where
that returns NULL. (Impl assumed was asking for size again and was not
running the sort.)
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.1 04/13/2015
- Bug fixes:

for some block-wide functions
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.0 03/18/2015
- New Features:
- Support and performance tuning for new Maxwell GPU architectures
- Updated cub::DeviceHistogram implementation that provides the same
"histogram-even" and "histogram-range" functionality as IPP/NPP.
Provides extremely fast and, perhaps more importantly, very
uniform performance response across diverse real-world datasets,
including pathological (homogeneous) sample distributions (resilience)
- New cub::DeviceSpmv methods for multiplying sparse matrices by
dense vectors, load-balanced using a merge-based parallel decomposition.
- New cub::DeviceRadixSort sorting entry-points that always return
the sorted output into the specified buffer (as opposed to the
cub::DoubleBuffer in which it could end up in either buffer)
- New cub::DeviceRunLengthEncode::NonTrivialRuns for finding the starting
offsets and lengths of all non-trivial runs (i.e., length > 1) of keys in
a given sequence. (Useful for top-down partitioning algorithms like
MSD sorting of very-large keys.)
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3.2 07/28/2014
- Bug fixes:
- Fix for cub::DeviceReduce where reductions of small problems
(small enough to only dispatch a single thread block) would run in
the default stream (stream zero) regardless of whether an alternate
stream was specified.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3.1 05/23/2014
- Bug fixes:
- Workaround for a benign WAW race warning reported by cuda-memcheck
in BlockScan specialized for BLOCK_SCAN_WARP_SCANS algorithm.
- Fix for bug in DeviceRadixSort where the algorithm may sort more
key bits than the caller specified (up to the nearest radix digit).
- Fix for ~3% DeviceRadixSort performance regression on Kepler and
Fermi that was introduced in v1.3.0.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3.0 05/12/2014
- New features:
- CUB's collective (block-wide, warp-wide) primitives underwent a minor
interface refactoring:
- To provide the appropriate support for multidimensional thread blocks,
The interfaces for collective classes are now template-parameterized
by X, Y, and Z block dimensions (with BLOCK_DIM_Y and BLOCK_DIM_Z being
optional, and BLOCK_DIM_X replacing BLOCK_THREADS). Furthermore, the
constructors that accept remapped linear thread-identifiers have been
removed: all primitives now assume a row-major thread-ranking for
multidimensional thread blocks.
- To allow the host program (compiled by the host-pass) to
accurately determine the device-specific storage requirements for
a given collective (compiled for each device-pass), the interfaces
for collective classes are now (optionally) template-parameterized
by the desired PTX compute capability. This is useful when
aliasing collective storage to shared memory that has been
allocated dynamically by the host at the kernel call site.
- Most CUB programs having typical 1D usage should not require any
changes to accomodate these updates.
- Added new "combination" WarpScan methods for efficiently computing
both inclusive and exclusive prefix scans (and sums).
- Bug fixes:
- Fixed bug in cub::WarpScan (which affected cub::BlockScan and
cub::DeviceScan) where incorrect results (e.g., NAN) would often be
returned when parameterized for floating-point types (fp32, fp64).
- Workaround-fix for ptxas error when compiling with with -G flag on Linux
(for debug instrumentation)
- Misc. workaround-fixes for certain scan scenarios (using custom
scan operators) where code compiled for SM1x is run on newer
GPUs of higher compute-capability: the compiler could not tell
which memory space was being used collective operations and was
mistakenly using global ops instead of shared ops.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.2.3 04/01/2014
- Bug fixes:
- Fixed access violation bug in DeviceReduce::ReduceByKey for non-primitive value types
- Fixed code-snippet bug in ArgIndexInputIteratorT documentation
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.2.2 03/03/2014
- New features:
- Added MS VC++ project solutions for device-wide and block-wide examples
- Performance:
- Added a third algorithmic variant of cub::BlockReduce for improved performance
when using commutative operators (e.g., numeric addition)
- Bug fixes:
- Fixed bug where inclusion of Thrust headers in a certain order prevented CUB device-wide primitives from working properly
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.2.0 02/25/2014
- New features:
- Added device-wide reduce-by-key (DeviceReduce::ReduceByKey, DeviceReduce::RunLengthEncode)
- Performance
- Improved DeviceScan, DeviceSelect, DevicePartition performance
- Documentation and testing:
- Compatible with CUDA 6.0
- Added performance-portability plots for many device-wide primitives to doc
- Update doc and tests to reflect iterator (in)compatibilities with CUDA 5.0 (and older) and Thrust 1.6 (and older).
- Bug fixes
- Revised the operation of temporary tile status bookkeeping for DeviceScan (and similar) to be safe for current code run on future platforms (now uses proper fences)
- Fixed DeviceScan bug where Win32 alignment disagreements between host and device regarding user-defined data types would corrupt tile status

- Added workaround for TexRefInputIteratorTto work with CUDA 6.0
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1.1 12/11/2013
- New features:
- Added TexObjInputIteratorT, TexRefInputIteratorT, CacheModifiedInputIteratorT, and CacheModifiedOutputIterator types for loading & storing arbitrary types through the cache hierarchy. Compatible with Thrust API.
- Added descending sorting to DeviceRadixSort and BlockRadixSort
- Added min, max, arg-min, and arg-max to DeviceReduce
- Added DeviceSelect (select-unique, select-if, and select-flagged)
- Added DevicePartition (partition-if, partition-flagged)
- Added generic cub::ShuffleUp(), cub::ShuffleDown(), and cub::ShuffleIndex() for warp-wide communication of arbitrary data types (SM3x+)
- Added cub::MaxSmOccupancy() for accurately determining SM occupancy for any given kernel function pointer
- Performance
- Improved DeviceScan and DeviceRadixSort performance for older architectures (SM10-SM30)
- Interface changes:
- Refactored block-wide I/O (BlockLoad and BlockStore), removing cache-modifiers from their interfaces. The CacheModifiedInputIteratorTand CacheModifiedOutputIterator should now be used with BlockLoad and BlockStore to effect that behavior.

- Documentation and testing:
- Added simple examples of device-wide methods

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.0.2 08/23/2013
- Corrections to code snippet examples for BlockLoad, BlockStore, and BlockDiscontinuity
- Cleaned up unnecessary/missing header includes. You can now safely #inlude a specific .cuh (instead of cub.cuh)
- Bug/compilation fixes for BlockHistogram
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Added best-in-class DeviceScan. Implements single-pass "adaptive-lookback" strategy.
- Significantly improved documentation (with example code snippets)
- More extensive regression test suit for aggressively testing collective variants
- Allow non-trially-constructed types (previously unions had prevented aliasing temporary storage of those types)
- Improved support for Kepler SHFL (collective ops now use SHFL for types larger than 32b)
- Better code generation for 64-bit addressing within BlockLoad/BlockStore
- DeviceHistogram now supports histograms of arbitrary bins
- Misc. fixes
- Workarounds for SM10 codegen issues in uncommonly-used WarpScan/Reduce specializations

- Added block-wide histogram (BlockHistogram256)
- Added device-wide histogram (DeviceHistogram256)

trades more register consumption for less shared memory I/O)
- Updates to BlockRadixRank to use BlockScan (which improves performance
on Kepler due to SHFL instruction)
- Allow types other than C++ primitives to be used in WarpScan::*Sum methods
if they only have operator + overloaded. (Previously they also required
to support assignment from int(0).)
- Update BlockReduce's BLOCK_REDUCE_WARP_REDUCTIONS algorithm to work even
when block size is not an even multiple of warp size
- Added work management utility descriptors (GridQueue, GridEvenShare)
- Refactoring of DeviceAllocator interface and CachingDeviceAllocator
implementation
- Misc. documentation updates and corrections.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.9.2 04/04/2013
- Added WarpReduce. WarpReduce uses the SHFL instruction when applicable.
BlockReduce now uses this WarpReduce instead of implementing its own.
- Misc. fixes for 64-bit Linux compilation warnings and errors.
- Misc. documentation updates and corrections.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.9.1 03/09/2013

summation. Summation entrypoints are now called ::Sum(), similar to the
convention in BlockScan.
- Small edits to mainpage documentation and download tracking
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.9.0 03/07/2013
- Intial "preview" release. CUB is the first durable, high-performance library
of cooperative block-level, warp-level, and thread-level primitives for CUDA
kernel programming. More primitives and examples coming soon!
