reasoning
**Evaluating thread performance**
I’m looking into a thread setup where one thread handles around 35 million threads and blocks around 138k with 256 threads. That's not too shabby! Although, I notice there might be some issues with memory coalescing. Each thread does load 11 contiguous items per row, which is interesting. I wonder if the compiler might issue some vector operations here. I need to keep this in mind for further optimizations down the line!
**Evaluating thread outputs**
I'm thinking about how to manage outputs with less parallelism while still keeping enough efficiency. Using contiguous windows, one thread can handle two outputs, which allows for sequential loads and maintaining two sums. This approach seems like it would avoid coalescing across lanes, which is essential for optimizing performance. I'll need to explore this further to refine the method and ensure it runs smoothly. Let's see how this develops!
