In general, +the larger the number of threads is, the more local memory is used and the less +branching instructions are used (if, while, ...), the better performance is +obtained on GPU. So with algorithm \ref{algo:seqCIprng} presented in the +previous section, it is possible to build a similar program which computes PRNG +on GPU. + + +\subsection{Naive version} + +From the CPU version, it is possible to obtain a quite similar version for GPU. +The principe consists in assigning the computation of a PRNG as in sequential to +each thread of the GPU. Of course, it is essential that the three xor-like +PRNGs used for our computation have different parameters. So we chose them +randomly with another PRNG. As the initialisation is performed by the CPU, we +have chosen to use the ISAAC PRNG [ref] to initalize all the parameters for the +GPU version of our PRNG. The implementation of the three xor-like PRNGs is +straightforward as soon as their parameters have been allocated in the GPU +memory. Each xor-like PRNGs used works with an internal number $x$ which keeps +the last generated random numbers. Other internal variables are also used by the +xor-like PRNGs. More precisely, the implementation of the xor128, the xorshift +and the xorwow respectively require 4, 5 and 6 unsigned long as internal +variables. + +\begin{algorithm} + +\KwIn{InternalVarXorLikeArray: array with internal variables of the 3 xor-like PRNGs in global memory\; +NumThreads: Number of threads\;} +\KwOut{NewNb: array containing random numbers in global memory} +\If{threadId is concerned} { + retrieve data from InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadId] in local variables\; + \For{i=1 to n} { + compute a new PRNG as in Listing\ref{algo:seqCIprng}\; + store the new PRNG in NewNb[NumThreads*threadId+i]\; + } + store internal variables in InternalVarXorLikeArray[threadId]\; +} + +\caption{main kernel for the chaotic iterations based PRNG GPU version} +\label{algo:gpu_kernel} +\end{algorithm} + +According to the available memory in the GPU and the number of threads used +simultenaously, the number of random numbers that a thread can generate inside a +kernel is limited, i.e. the variable \texttt{n} in +algorithm~\ref{algo:gpu_kernel}.
