# Thrust 1.9.10-1 (NVIDIA HPC SDK 20.7, CUDA Toolkit 11.1)
## Summary
Thrust 1.9.10-1 is the minor release accompanying the NVIDIA HPC SDK 20.7 release
and the CUDA Toolkit 11.1 release.
## Bug Fixes
- #1214, NVBug 200619442: Stop using `std::allocator` APIs deprecated in C++17.
- #1216, NVBug 200540293: Make `thrust::optional` work with Clang when used
with older libstdc++.
- #1207, NVBug 200618218: Don't force C++14 with older compilers that don't
support it.
- #1218: Wrap includes of `<memory>` and `<algorithm>` to avoid circular
inclusion with NVC++.
# Thrust 1.9.10 (NVIDIA HPC SDK 20.5)
## Summary
Thrust 1.9.10 is the release accompanying the NVIDIA HPC SDK 20.5 release.
It adds CMake support for compilation with NVC++ and a number of minor bug fixes
for NVC++.
It also adds CMake `find_package` support, which replaces the broken 3rd-party
legacy `FindThrust.cmake` script.
C++03, C++11, GCC < 5, Clang < 6, and MSVC < 2017 are now deprecated.
Starting with the upcoming 1.10.0 release, C++03 support will be dropped
entirely.
## Breaking Changes
- #1082: Thrust now checks that it is compatible with the version of CUB found
in your include path, generating an error if it is not.
If you are using your own version of CUB, it may be too old.
It is recommended to simply delete your own version of CUB and use the
version of CUB that comes with Thrust.
- #1089: C++03 and C++11 are deprecated.
Using these dialects will generate a compile-time warning.
These warnings can be suppressed by defining
`THRUST_IGNORE_DEPRECATED_CPP_DIALECT` (to suppress C++03 and C++11
deprecation warnings) or `THRUST_IGNORE_DEPRECATED_CPP11` (to suppress C++11
deprecation warnings).
Suppression is only a short term solution.
We will be dropping support for C++03 in the 1.10.0 release and C++11 in the
near future.
- #1089: GCC < 5, Clang < 6, and MSVC < 2017 are deprecated.
Using these compilers will generate a compile-time warning.
These warnings can be suppressed by defining
`THRUST_IGNORE_DEPRECATED_COMPILER`.
Suppression is only a short term solution.
We will be dropping support for these compilers in the near future.
## New Features
- #1130: CMake `find_package` support.
This is significant because there is a legacy `FindThrust.cmake` script
authored by a third party in widespread use in the community which has a
bug in how it parses Thrust version numbers which will cause it to
incorrectly parse 1.9.10.
This script only handles the first digit of each part of the Thrust version
number correctly: for example, Thrust 17.17.17 would be interpreted as
Thrust 1.1.1701717.
You can find directions for using the new CMake `find_package` support and
migrating away from the legacy `FindThrust.cmake` [here](https://github.com/thrust/thrust/blob/master/thrust/cmake/README.md)
- #1129: Added `thrust::detail::single_device_tls_caching_allocator`, a
convenient way to get an MR caching allocator for device memory, which is
used by NVC++.
## Other Enhancements
- #1129: Refactored RDC handling in CMake to be a global option and not create
two targets for each example and test.
## Bug Fixes
- #1129: Fix the legacy `thrust::return_temporary_buffer` API to support
passing a size.
This was necessary to enable usage of Thrust caching MR allocators with
synchronous Thrust algorithms.
This change has allowed NVC++’s C++17 Parallel Algorithms implementation to
switch to use Thrust caching MR allocators for device temporary storage,
which gives a 2x speedup on large multi-GPU systems such as V100 and A100
DGX where `cudaMalloc` is very slow.
- #1128: Respect `CUDA_API_PER_THREAD_DEFAULT_STREAM`.
Thanks to Rong Ou for this contribution.
- #1131: Fix the one-policy overload of `thrust::async::copy` to not copy the
policy, resolving use-afer-move issues.
- #1145: When cleaning up type names in `unittest::base_class_name`, only call
`std::string::replace` if we found the substring we are looking to replace.
- #1139: Don't use `cxx::__demangle` in NVC++.
- #1102: Don't use `thrust::detail::normal_distribution_nvcc` for Feta because
it uses `erfcinv`, a non-standard function that Feta doesn't have.
# Thrust 1.9.9 (CUDA Toolkit 11.0)
## Summary
Thrust 1.9.9 adds support for NVC++, which uses Thrust to implement
GPU-accelerated C++17 Parallel Algorithms.
`thrust::zip_function` and `thrust::shuffle` were also added.
C++03, C++11, GCC < 5, Clang < 6, and MSVC < 2017 are now deprecated.
Starting with the upcoming 1.10.0 release, C++03 support will be dropped
entirely.
All other deprecated platforms will be dropped in the near future.
## Breaking Changes
- #1082: Thrust now checks that it is compatible with the version of CUB found
in your include path, generating an error if it is not.
If you are using your own version of CUB, it may be too old.
It is recommended to simply delete your own version of CUB and use the
version of CUB that comes with Thrust.
- #1089: C++03 and C++11 are deprecated.
Using these dialects will generate a compile-time warning.
These warnings can be suppressed by defining
`THRUST_IGNORE_DEPRECATED_CPP_DIALECT` (to suppress C++03 and C++11
deprecation warnings) or `THRUST_IGNORE_DEPRECATED_CPP_11` (to suppress C++11
deprecation warnings).
Suppression is only a short term solution.
We will be dropping support for C++03 in the 1.10.0 release and C++11 in the
near future.
- #1089: GCC < 5, Clang < 6, and MSVC < 2017 are deprecated.
Using these compilers will generate a compile-time warning.
These warnings can be suppressed by defining
`THRUST_IGNORE_DEPRECATED_COMPILER`.
Suppression is only a short term solution.
We will be dropping support for these compilers in the near future.
## New Features
- #1086: Support for NVC++ aka "Feta".
The most significant change is in how we use `__CUDA_ARCH__`.
Now, there are four macros that must be used:
- `THRUST_IS_DEVICE_CODE`, which should be used in an `if` statement around
device-only code.
- `THRUST_INCLUDE_DEVICE_CODE`, which should be used in an `#if` preprocessor
directive inside of the `if` statement mentioned in the prior bullet.
- `THRUST_IS_HOST_CODE`, which should be used in an `if` statement around
host-only code.
- `THRUST_INCLUDE_HOST_CODE`, which should be used in an `#if` preprocessor
directive inside of the `if` statement mentioned in the prior bullet.
- #1085: `thrust::shuffle`.
Thanks to Rory Mitchell for this contribution.
- #1029: `thrust::zip_function`, a facility for zipping functions that take N
parameters instead of a tuple of N parameters as `thrust::zip_iterator`
does.
Thanks to Ben Jude for this contribution.
- #1068: `thrust::system::cuda::managed_memory_pointer`, a universal memory
strongly typed pointer compatible with the ISO C++ Standard Library.
## Other Enhancements
- #1029: Thrust is now built and tested with NVCC warnings treated as errors.
- #1029: MSVC C++11 support.
- #1029: `THRUST_DEPRECATED` abstraction for generating compile-time
deprecation warning messages.
- #1029: `thrust::pointer<T>::pointer_to(reference)`.
- #1070: Unit test for `thrust::inclusive_scan` with a user defined types.
Thanks to Conor Hoekstra for this contribution.
## Bug Fixes
- #1088: Allow `thrust::replace` to take functions that have non-`const`
`operator()`.
- #1094: Add missing `constexpr` to `par_t` constructors.
Thanks to Patrick Stotko for this contribution.
- #1077: Remove `__device__` from CUDA MR-based device allocators to fix
obscure "host function called from host device function" warning that occurs
when you use the new Thrust MR-based allocators.
- #1029: Remove inconsistently-used `THRUST_BEGIN`/`END_NS` macros.
- #1029: Fix C++ dialect detection on newer MSVC.
- #1029 Use `_Pragma`/`__pragma` instead of `#pragma` in macros.
- #1029: Replace raw `__cplusplus` checks with the appropriate Thrust macros.
- #1105: Add a missing `<math.h>` include.
- #1103: Fix regression of `thrust::detail::temporary_allocator` with non-CUDA
back ends.
- #1111: Use Thrust's random number engine instead of `std::`s in device code.
- #1108: Get rid of a GCC 9 warning about deprecated generation of copy ctors.
# Thrust 1.9.8-1 (NVIDIA HPC SDK 20.3)
## Summary
Thrust 1.9.8-1 is a variant of 1.9.8 accompanying the NVIDIA HPC SDK 20.3
release.
It contains modifications necessary to serve as the implementation of NVC++'s
GPU-accelerated C++17 Parallel Algorithms when using the CUDA Toolkit 11.0
release.
# Thrust 1.9.8 (CUDA Toolkit 11.0 Early Access)
## Summary
Thrust 1.9.8, which is included in the CUDA Toolkit 11.0 release, removes
Thrust's internal derivative of CUB, upstreams all relevant changes too CUB,
and adds CUB as a Git submodule.
It will now be necessary to do `git clone --recursive` when checking out
Thrust, and to update the CUB submodule when pulling in new Thrust changes.
Additionally, CUB is now included as a first class citizen in the CUDA toolkit.
Thrust 1.9.8 also fixes bugs preventing most Thrust algorithms from working
with more than `2^31-1` elements.
Now, `thrust::reduce`, `thrust::*_scan`, and related algorithms (aka most of
Thrust) work with large element counts.
## Breaking Changes
- Thrust will now use the version of CUB in your include path instead of its own
internal copy.
If you are using your own version of CUB, it may be older and incompatible
with Thrust.
It is recommended to simply delete your own version of CUB and use the
version of CUB that comes with Thrust.
## Other Enhancements
- Refactor Thrust and CUB to support 64-bit indices in most algorithms.
In most cases, Thrust now selects between kernels that use 32-bit indices and
64-bit indices at runtime depending on the size of the input.
This means large element counts work, but small element counts do not have to
pay for the register usage of 64-bit indices if they are not needed.
Now, `thrust::reduce`, `thrust::*_scan`, and related algorithms (aka most of
Thrust) work with more than `2^31-1` elements.
Notably, `thrust::sort` is still limited to less than `2^31-1` elements.
- CUB is now a submodule and the internal copy of CUB has been removed.
- #1051: Stop specifying the `__launch_bounds__` minimum blocks parameter
because it messes up register allocation and increases register pressure,
and we don't actually know at compile time how many blocks we will use
(aside from single tile kernels).
## Bug Fixes
- #1020: After making a CUDA API call, always clear the global CUDA error state
by calling `cudaGetLastError`.
- #1021: Avoid calling destroy in the destructor of a Thrust vector if the
vector is empty.
- #1046: Actually throw `thrust::bad_alloc` when `thrust::system::cuda::malloc`
fails instead of just constructing a temporary and doing nothing with it.
- Add missing copy constructor or copy assignment operator to all classes that
GCC 9's `-Wdeprecated-copy` complains about
- Add missing move operations to `thrust::system::cuda::vector`.
- #1015: Check that the backend is CUDA before using CUDA-specifics in
`thrust::detail::temporary_allocator`.
Thanks to Hugh Winkler for this contribution.
- #1055: More correctly detect the presence of aligned/sized `new`/`delete`.
- #1043: Fix ill-formed specialization of `thrust::system::is_error_code_enum`
for `thrust::event_errc`.
Thanks to Toru Niina for this contribution.
- #1027: Add tests for `thrust::tuple_for_each` and `thrust::tuple_subset`.
Thanks to Ben Jude for this contribution.
- #1027: Use correct macro in `thrust::tuple_for_each`.
Thanks to Ben Jude for this contribution.
- #1026: Use correct MSVC version formatting in CMake.
Thanks to Ben Jude for this contribution.
- Workaround an NVCC issue with type aliases with template template arguments
containing a parameter pack.
- Remove unused functions from the CUDA backend which call slow CUDA attribute
query APIs.
- Replace `CUB_RUNTIME_FUNCTION` with `THRUST_RUNTIME_FUNCTION`.
- Correct typo in `thrust::transform` documentation.
Thanks to Eden Yefet for this contribution.
## Known Issues
- `thrust::sort` remains limited to `2^31-1` elements for now.

# Thrust 1.9.4 (CUDA Toolkit 10.1)
## Summary
Thrust 1.9.4 adds asynchronous interfaces for parallel algorithms, a new
allocator system including caching allocators and unified memory support, as
well as a variety of other enhancements, mostly related to
C++11/C++14/C++17/C++20 support.
The new asynchronous algorithms in the `thrust::async` namespace return
`thrust::event` or `thrust::future` objects, which can be waited upon to
synchronize with the completion of the parallel operation.
## Breaking Changes
Synchronous Thrust algorithms now block until all of their operations have
completed.
Use the new asynchronous Thrust algorithms for non-blocking behavior.
## New Features
- `thrust::event` and `thrust::future<T>`, uniquely-owned asynchronous handles
consisting of a state (ready or not ready), content (some value; for
`thrust::future` only), and an optional set of objects that should be
destroyed only when the future's value is ready and has been consumed.
- The design is loosely based on C++11's `std::future`.
- They can be `.wait`'d on, and the value of a future can be waited on and
retrieved with `.get` or `.extract`.
- Multiple `thrust::event`s and `thrust::future`s can be combined with
`thrust::when_all`.
- `thrust::future`s can be converted to `thrust::event`s.
- Currently, these primitives are only implemented for the CUDA backend and
are C++11 only.
- New asynchronous algorithms that return `thrust::event`/`thrust::future`s,
implemented as C++20 range style customization points:
- `thrust::async::reduce`.
- `thrust::async::reduce_into`, which takes a target location to store the
reduction result into.
- `thrust::async::copy`, including a two-policy overload that allows
explicit cross system copies which execution policy properties can be
attached to.
- `thrust::async::transform`.
- `thrust::async::for_each`.
- `thrust::async::stable_sort`.
- `thrust::async::sort`.
- By default the asynchronous algorithms use the new caching allocators.
Deallocation of temporary storage is deferred until the destruction of
the returned `thrust::future`. The content of `thrust::future`s is
stored in either device or universal memory and transferred to the host
only upon request to prevent unnecessary data migration.
- Asynchronous algorithms are currently only implemented for the CUDA
system and are C++11 only.
- `exec.after(f, g, ...)`, a new execution policy method that takes a set of
`thrust::event`/`thrust::future`s and returns an execution policy that
operations on that execution policy should depend upon.
- New logic and mindset for the type requirements for cross-system sequence
copies (currently only used by `thrust::async::copy`), based on:
- `thrust::is_contiguous_iterator` and `THRUST_PROCLAIM_CONTIGUOUS_ITERATOR`
for detecting/indicating that an iterator points to contiguous storage.
- `thrust::is_trivially_relocatable` and
`THRUST_PROCLAIM_TRIVIALLY_RELOCATABLE` for detecting/indicating that a
type is `memcpy`able (based on principles from
[P1144](https://wg21.link/P1144)).
- The new approach reduces buffering, increases performance, and increases
correctness.
- The fast path is now enabled when copying CUDA `__half` and vector types with
`thrust::async::copy`.
- All Thrust synchronous algorithms for the CUDA backend now actually
synchronize. Previously, any algorithm that did not allocate temporary
storage (counterexample: `thrust::sort`) and did not have a
computation-dependent result (counterexample: `thrust::reduce`) would
actually be launched asynchronously. Additionally, synchronous algorithms
that allocated temporary storage would become asynchronous if a custom
allocator was supplied that did not synchronize on allocation/deallocation,
unlike `cudaMalloc`/`cudaFree`. So, now `thrust::for_each`,
`thrust::transform`, `thrust::sort`, etc are truly synchronous. In some
cases this may be a performance regression; if you need asynchrony, use the
new asynchronous algorithms.
- Thrust's allocator framework has been rewritten. It now uses a memory
resource system, similar to C++17's `std::pmr` but supporting static
polymorphism. Memory resources are objects that allocate untyped storage and
allocators are cheap handles to memory resources in this new model. The new
facilities live in `<thrust/mr/*>`.
- `thrust::mr::memory_resource<Pointer>`, the memory resource base class,
which takes a (possibly tagged) pointer to `void` type as a parameter.
- `thrust::mr::allocator<T, MemoryResource>`, an allocator backed by a memory
resource object.
- `thrust::mr::polymorphic_adaptor_resource<Pointer>`, a type-erased memory
resource adaptor.
- `thrust::mr::polymorphic_allocator<T>`, a C++17-style polymorphic allocator
backed by a type-erased memory resource object.
- New tunable C++17-style caching memory resources,
`thrust::mr::(disjoint_)?(un)?synchronized_pool_resource`, designed to
cache both small object allocations and large repetitive temporary
allocations. The disjoint variants use separate storage for management of
the pool, which is necessary if the memory being allocated cannot be
accessed on the host (e.g. device memory).
- System-specific allocators were rewritten to use the new memory resource
framework.
- New `thrust::device_memory_resource` for allocating device memory.
- New `thrust::universal_memory_resource` for allocating memory that can be
accessed from both the host and device (e.g. `cudaMallocManaged`).
- New `thrust::universal_host_pinned_memory_resource` for allocating memory
that can be accessed from the host and the device but always resides in
host memory (e.g. `cudaMallocHost`).
- `thrust::get_per_device_resource` and `thrust::per_device_allocator`, which
lazily create and retrieve a per-device singleton memory resource.
- Rebinding mechanisms (`rebind_traits` and `rebind_alloc`) for
`thrust::allocator_traits`.
- `thrust::device_make_unique`, a factory function for creating a
`std::unique_ptr` to a newly allocated object in device memory.
- `<thrust/detail/memory_algorithms>`, a C++11 implementation of the C++17
uninitialized memory algorithms.
- `thrust::allocate_unique` and friends, based on the proposed C++23
[`std::allocate_unique`](https://wg21.link/P0211).
- New type traits and metaprogramming facilities. Type traits are slowly being
migrated out of `thrust::detail::` and `<thrust/detail/*>`; their new home
will be `thrust::` and `<thrust/type_traits/*>`.
- `thrust::is_execution_policy`.
- `thrust::is_operator_less_or_greater_function_object`, which detects
`thrust::less`, `thrust::greater`, `std::less`, and `std::greater`.
- `thrust::is_operator_plus_function_object``, which detects `thrust::plus`
and `std::plus`.
- `thrust::remove_cvref(_t)?`, a C++11 implementation of C++20's
`thrust::remove_cvref(_t)?`.
- `thrust::void_t`, and various other new type traits.
- `thrust::integer_sequence` and friends, a C++11 implementation of C++20's
`std::integer_sequence`
- `thrust::conjunction`, `thrust::disjunction`, and `thrust::disjunction`, a
C++11 implementation of C++17's logical metafunctions.
- Some Thrust type traits (such as `thrust::is_constructible`) have been
redefined in terms of C++11's type traits when they are available.
- `<thrust/detail/tuple_algorithms.h>`, new `std::tuple` algorithms:
- `thrust::tuple_transform`.
- `thrust::tuple_for_each`.
- `thrust::tuple_subset`.
- Miscellaneous new `std::`-like facilities:
- `thrust::optional`, a C++11 implementation of C++17's `std::optional`.
- `thrust::addressof`, an implementation of C++11's `std::addressof`.
- `thrust::next` and `thrust::prev`, an implementation of C++11's `std::next`
and `std::prev`.
- `thrust::square`, a `<functional>` style unary function object that
multiplies its argument by itself.
- `<thrust/limits.h>` and `thrust::numeric_limits`, a customized version of
`<limits>` and `std::numeric_limits`.
- `<thrust/detail/preprocessor.h>`, new general purpose preprocessor facilities:
- `THRUST_PP_CAT[2-5]`, concatenates two to five tokens.
- `THRUST_PP_EXPAND(_ARGS)?`, performs double expansion.
- `THRUST_PP_ARITY` and `THRUST_PP_DISPATCH`, tools for macro overloading.
- `THRUST_PP_BOOL`, boolean conversion.
- `THRUST_PP_INC` and `THRUST_PP_DEC`, increment/decrement.
- `THRUST_PP_HEAD`, a variadic macro that expands to the first argument.
- `THRUST_PP_TAIL`, a variadic macro that expands to all its arguments after
the first.
- `THRUST_PP_IIF`, bitwise conditional.
- `THRUST_PP_COMMA_IF`, and `THRUST_PP_HAS_COMMA`, facilities for adding and
detecting comma tokens.
- `THRUST_PP_IS_VARIADIC_NULLARY`, returns true if called with a nullary
`__VA_ARGS__`.
- `THRUST_CURRENT_FUNCTION`, expands to the name of the current function.
- New C++11 compatibility macros:
- `THRUST_NODISCARD`, expands to `[[nodiscard]]` when available and the best
equivalent otherwise.
- `THRUST_CONSTEXPR`, expands to `constexpr` when available and the best
equivalent otherwise.
- `THRUST_OVERRIDE`, expands to `override` when available and the best
equivalent otherwise.
- `THRUST_DEFAULT`, expands to `= default;` when available and the best
equivalent otherwise.
- `THRUST_NOEXCEPT`, expands to `noexcept` when available and the best
equivalent otherwise.
- `THRUST_FINAL`, expands to `final` when available and the best equivalent
otherwise.
- `THRUST_INLINE_CONSTANT`, expands to `inline constexpr` when available and
the best equivalent otherwise.
- `<thrust/detail/type_deduction.h>`, new C++11-only type deduction helpers:
- `THRUST_DECLTYPE_RETURNS*`, expand to function definitions with suitable
conditional `noexcept` qualifiers and trailing return types.
- `THRUST_FWD(x)`, expands to `::std::forward<decltype(x)>(x)`.
- `THRUST_MVCAP`, expands to a lambda move capture.
- `THRUST_RETOF`, expands to a decltype computing the return type of an
invocable.
- New CMake build system.
## New Examples
- `mr_basic` demonstrates how to use the new memory resource allocator system.
## Other Enhancements
- Tagged pointer enhancements:
- New `thrust::pointer_traits` specialization for `void const*`.
- `nullptr` support to Thrust tagged pointers.
- New `explicit operator bool` for Thrust tagged pointers when using C++11
for `std::unique_ptr` interoperability.
- Added `thrust::reinterpret_pointer_cast` and `thrust::static_pointer_cast`
for casting Thrust tagged pointers.
- Iterator enhancements:
- `thrust::iterator_system` is now SFINAE friendly.
- Removed cv qualifiers from iterator types when using
`thrust::iterator_system`.
- Static assert enhancements:
- New `THRUST_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG`, takes an optional string constant to be
used as the error message when possible.
- Update `THRUST_STATIC_ASSERT(_MSG)` to use C++11's `static_assert` when
it's available.
- Introduce a way to test for static assertions.
- Testing enhancements:
- Additional scalar and sequence types, including non-builtin types and
vectors with unified memory allocators, have been added to the list of
types used by generic unit tests.
- The generation of random input data has been improved to increase the range
of values used and catch more corner cases.
- New `unittest::truncate_to_max_representable` utility for avoiding the
generation of ranges that cannot be represented by the underlying element
type in generic unit test code.
- The test driver now synchronizes with CUDA devices and check for errors
after each test, when switching devices, and after each raw kernel launch.
- The `warningtester` uber header is now compiled with NVCC to avoid needing
to disable CUDA-specific code with the preprocessor.
- Fixed the unit test framework's `ASSERT_*` to print `char`s as `int`s.
- New `DECLARE_INTEGRAL_VARIABLE_UNITTEST` test declaration macro.
- New `DECLARE_VARIABLE_UNITTEST_WITH_TYPES_AND_NAME` test declaration macro.
- `thrust::system_error` in the CUDA backend now print out its `cudaError_t`
enumerator in addition to the diagnostic message.
- Stopped using conditionally signed types like `char`.

Capability 5.0 devices.
# Thrust 1.8.0
## Summary
Thrust 1.8.0 introduces support for algorithm invocation from CUDA device
code, support for CUDA streams, and algorithm performance improvements.
Users may now invoke Thrust algorithms from CUDA device code, providing a
parallel algorithms library to CUDA programmers authoring custom kernels, as
well as allowing Thrust programmers to nest their algorithm calls within
functors.
The `thrust::seq` execution policy allows users to require sequential algorithm
execution in the calling thread and makes a sequential algorithms library
available to individual CUDA threads.
The `.on(stream)` syntax allows users to request a CUDA stream for kernels
launched during algorithm execution.
Finally, new CUDA algorithm implementations provide substantial performance
improvements.
## New Features
- Algorithms in CUDA Device Code:
- Thrust algorithms may now be invoked from CUDA `__device__` and
`__host__` __device__ functions.
Algorithms invoked in this manner must be invoked with an execution
policy as the first parameter.
The following execution policies are supported in CUDA __device__ code:
- `thrust::seq`
- `thrust::cuda::par`
- `thrust::device`, when THRUST_DEVICE_SYSTEM == THRUST_DEVICE_SYSTEM_CUDA.
- Device-side algorithm execution may not be parallelized unless CUDA Dynamic
Parallelism is available.
- Execution Policies:
- CUDA Streams
- The `thrust::cuda::par.on(stream)` syntax allows users to request that
CUDA kernels launched during algorithm execution should occur on a given
stream.
- Algorithms executed with a CUDA stream in this manner may still
synchronize with other streams when allocating temporary storage or
returning results to the CPU.
- `thrust::seq`, which allows users to require that an algorithm execute
sequentially in the calling thread.
- `thrust::complex`, a complex number data type.
## New Examples
- simple_cuda_streams demonstrates how to request a CUDA stream during
algorithm execution.
- async_reduce demonstrates ways to achieve algorithm invocations which are
asynchronous with the calling thread.
## Other Enhancements
- CUDA sort performance for user-defined types is 300% faster on Tesla K20c for
large problem sizes.
- CUDA merge performance is 200% faster on Tesla K20c for large problem sizes.
- CUDA sort performance for primitive types is 50% faster on Tesla K20c for
large problem sizes.
- CUDA reduce_by_key performance is 25% faster on Tesla K20c for large problem
sizes.
- CUDA scan performance is 15% faster on Tesla K20c for large problem sizes.
- fallback_allocator example is simpler.
## Bug Fixes
- #364: Iterators with unrelated system tags may be used with algorithms invoked
with an execution policy
- #371: Do not redefine `__CUDA_ARCH__`.
- #379: Fix crash when dereferencing transform_iterator on the host.
- #391: Avoid use of uppercase variable names.
- #392: Fix `thrust::copy` between `cusp::complex` and `std::complex`.
- #396: Program compiled with gcc < 4.3 hangs during comparison sort.
- #406: `fallback_allocator.cu` example checks device for unified addressing support.
- #417: Avoid using `std::less<T>` in binary search algorithms.
- #418: Avoid various warnings.
- #443: Including version.h no longer configures default systems.
- #578: NVCC produces warnings when sequential algorithms are used with CPU systems.
## Known Issues
- When invoked with primitive data types, thrust::sort, thrust::sort_by_key,
thrust::stable_sort, & thrust::stable_sort_by_key may
- Sometimes linking fails when compiling with `-rdc=true` with NVCC.
- The CUDA implementation of thrust::reduce_by_key incorrectly outputs the last
element in a segment of equivalent keys instead of the first.

- Thanks to Sean Baxter for contributing faster CUDA reduce, merge, and scan
implementations.
- Thanks to Duane Merrill for contributing a faster CUDA radix sort implementation.

`std::binary_function`.
# Thrust 1.7.0 (CUDA Toolkit 5.5)
## Summary
Thrust 1.7.0 introduces a new interface for controlling algorithm execution as
well as several new algorithms and performance improvements.
With this new interface, users may directly control how algorithms execute as
well as details such as the allocation of temporary storage.
Key/value versions of thrust::merge and the set operation algorithms have been
added, as well stencil versions of partitioning algorithms.
thrust::tabulate has been introduced to tabulate the values of functions taking
integers.
For 32b types, new CUDA merge and set operations provide 2-15x faster
performance while a new CUDA comparison sort provides 1.3-4x faster
performance.
Finally, a new TBB reduce_by_key implementation provides 80% faster
performance.
## Breaking Changes
- Dispatch:
- Custom user backend systems' tag types must now inherit from the
corresponding system's execution_policy template (e.g.
thrust::cuda::execution_policy) instead of the tag struct (e.g.
thrust::cuda::tag). Otherwise, algorithm specializations will silently go
unfound during dispatch. See examples/minimal_custom_backend.cu and
examples/cuda/fallback_allocator.cu for usage examples.
- thrust::advance and thrust::distance are no longer dispatched based on
iterator system type and thus may no longer be customized.
- Iterators:
- iterator_facade and iterator_adaptor's Pointer template parameters have
been eliminated.
- iterator_adaptor has been moved into the thrust namespace (previously
thrust::experimental::iterator_adaptor).
- iterator_facade has been moved into the thrust namespace (previously
thrust::experimental::iterator_facade).
- iterator_core_access has been moved into the thrust namespace (previously
thrust::experimental::iterator_core_access).
- All iterators' nested pointer typedef (the type of the result of
operator->) is now void instead of a pointer type to indicate that such
expressions are currently impossible.
- Floating point counting_iterators' nested difference_type typedef is now a
signed integral type instead of a floating point type.
- Other:
- normal_distribution has been moved into the thrust::random namespace
(previously thrust::random::experimental::normal_distribution).
- Placeholder expressions may no longer include the comma operator.
## New Features
- Execution Policies:
- Users may directly control the dispatch of algorithm invocations with
optional execution policy arguments.
For example, instead of wrapping raw pointers allocated by cudaMalloc with
thrust::device_ptr, the thrust::device execution_policy may be passed as
an argument to an algorithm invocation to enable CUDA execution.
- The following execution policies are supported in this version:
- `thrust::host`
- `thrust::device`
- `thrust::cpp::par`
- `thrust::cuda::par`
- `thrust::omp::par`
- `thrust::tbb::par`
- Algorithms:
- `thrust::merge_by_key`
- `thrust::partition` with stencil
- `thrust::partition_copy` with stencil
- `thrust::set_difference_by_key`
- `thrust::set_intersection_by_key`
- `thrust::set_symmetric_difference_by_key`
- `thrust::set_union_by_key`
- `thrust::stable_partition with stencil`
- `thrust::stable_partition_copy with stencil`
- `thrust::tabulate`
- Memory Allocation:
- `thrust::malloc`
- `thrust::free`
- `thrust::get_temporary_buffer`
- `thrust::return_temporary_buffer`
## New Examples
- uninitialized_vector demonstrates how to use a custom allocator to avoid the
automatic initialization of elements in thrust::device_vector.
## Other Enhancements
- Authors of custom backend systems may manipulate arbitrary state during
algorithm dispatch by incorporating it into their execution_policy parameter.
- Users may control the allocation of temporary storage during algorithm
execution by passing standard allocators as parameters via execution policies
such as thrust::device.
- THRUST_DEVICE_SYSTEM_CPP has been added as a compile-time target for the
device backend.
- CUDA merge performance is 2-15x faster.
- CUDA comparison sort performance is 1.3-4x faster.
- CUDA set operation performance is 1.5-15x faster.
- TBB reduce_by_key performance is 80% faster.
- Several algorithms have been parallelized with TBB.
- Support for user allocators in vectors has been improved.
- The sparse_vector example is now implemented with merge_by_key instead of
sort_by_key.
- Warnings have been eliminated in various contexts.
- Warnings about __host__ or __device__-only functions called from __host__
__device__ functions have been eliminated in various contexts.
- Documentation about algorithm requirements have been improved.
- Simplified the minimal_custom_backend example.
- Simplified the cuda/custom_temporary_allocation example.
- Simplified the cuda/fallback_allocator example.
## Bug Fixes
- #248: Fix broken `thrust::counting_iterator<float>` behavior with OpenMP.

- #16: Fix compilation error when sorting bool with CUDA.
- #10: Fix ambiguous overloads of `thrust::reinterpret_tag`.
## Known Issues
- GCC 4.3 and lower may fail to dispatch thrust::get_temporary_buffer correctly
causing infinite recursion in examples such as
cuda/custom_temporary_allocation.

# Thrust 1.2.1
## Summary
Small fixes for compatibility for the CUDA Toolkit 3.1.
## Known Issues
- `thrust::inclusive_scan` and `thrust::exclusive_scan` may fail with very
large types.
- MSVC may fail to compile code using both sort and binary search algorithms.
- `thrust::uninitialized_fill` and `thrust::uninitialized_copy` dispatch
constructors on the host rather than the device.
- #109: Some algorithms may exhibit poor performance with the OpenMP backend
with large numbers (>= 6) of CPU threads.
- `thrust::default_random_engine::discard` is not accelerated with NVCC 2.3
- NVCC 3.1 may fail to compile code using types derived from
`thrust::subtract_with_carry_engine`, such as `thrust::ranlux24` and
`thrust::ranlux48`.
# Thrust 1.2.0
## Summary
Thrust 1.2 introduces support for compilation to multicore CPUs and the Ocelot
virtual machine, and several new facilities for pseudo-random number
generation.
New algorithms such as set intersection and segmented reduction have also been
added.
Lastly, improvements to the robustness of the CUDA backend ensure correctness
across a broad set of (uncommon) use cases.
## Breaking Changes
- `thrust::gather`'s interface was incorrect and has been removed.
The old interface is deprecated but will be preserved for Thrust version 1.2
at `thrust::deprecated::gather` and `thrust::deprecated::gather_if`.
The new interface is provided at `thrust::next::gather` and
`thrust::next::gather_if`.
The new interface will be promoted to `thrust::` in Thrust version 1.3.
For more details, please refer to [this thread](http://groups.google.com/group/thrust-users/browse_thread/thread/f5f0583cb97b51fd).
- The `thrust::sorting` namespace has been deprecated in favor of the top-level
sorting functions, such as `thrust::sort` and `thrust::sort_by_key`.
- Removed support for `thrust::equal` between host & device sequences.
- Removed support for `thrust::scatter` between host & device sequences.

# Thrust 1.0.0
## Breaking Changes
- Rename top level namespace `komrade` to `thrust`.
- Move `thrust::partition_copy` & `thrust::stable_partition_copy` into
`thrust::experimental` namespace until we can easily provide the standard
interface.
- Rename `thrust::range` to `thrust::sequence` to avoid collision with
Boost.Range.
- Rename `thrust::copy_if` to `thrust::copy_when` due to semantic differences
with C++0x `std::copy_if`.
## New Features
- Add C++0x style `cbegin` & `cend` methods to `thrust::host_vector` and
`thrust::device_vector`.
- Add `thrust::transform_if` function.
