Description
This PR adds a new CUDA parallel histogram module, showcasing a classic parallel pattern with a strong emphasis on performance analysis and profiling.
Key changes
Added a new
parallel_histogram/module including:Makefileto handle compilation.run.shfor execution.profile_nvprof.shfor GPU performance profiling.READMEdescribing the algorithm, usage, and profiling steps.Updated
.gitignoreto include generated artifacts related to the parallel histogram module.Impact
The parallel histogram example introduces a workload characterized by contention and memory access challenges, making it an excellent case study for analyzing synchronization, atomics, and memory behavior on GPUs. It further enriches the repository as a hands-on CUDA performance playground.
