[section:cuda CUDA]

[@http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-zone/ CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture)] is a platform for parallel computing
on NVIDIA GPUs. The application programming interface of CUDA gives access to
GPU's instruction set and computation resources (Execution of compute kernels).


[heading Synchronization with CUDA streams]

CUDA operation such as compute kernels or memory transfer (between host and
device) can be grouped/queued by CUDA streams. are executed on the GPUs.
Boost.Fiber enables a fiber to sleep (suspend) till a CUDA stream has completed
its operations. This enables applications to run other fibers on the CPU without
the need to spawn an additional OS-threads. And resume the fiber when the CUDA
streams has finished.

        void kernel( int size, int * a, int * b, int * c) {
            int idx = threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x;
            if ( idx < size) {
                int idx1 = (idx + 1) % 256;
                int idx2 = (idx + 2) % 256;
                float as = (a[idx] + a[idx1] + a[idx2]) / 3.0f;
                float bs = (b[idx] + b[idx1] + b[idx2]) / 3.0f;
                c[idx] = (as + bs) / 2;
            }
