#######################################
#           Thrust v1.8.0             #
#######################################

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.

Breaking API Changes
    None.

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:

      __device__ int my_device_sort(int *data, size_t n)
      {
        thrust::sort(thrust::device, data, data + n);
      }

      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

      Parallel algorithm execution may not be accelerated unless CUDA Dynamic Parallelism is available.

    Execution Policies
      CUDA Streams
        The thrust::cuda::par.on(stream) syntax allows users to request that CUDA __global__ functions launched during algorithm 
        execution should occur on a given stream:

        // execute for_each on stream s
        thrust::for_each(thrust::cuda::par.on(s), begin, end, my_functor);

        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
        The thrust::seq execution policy allows users to require that an algorithm execute sequentially in the calling thread:

        // execute for_each sequentially in this thread
        thrust::for_each(thrust::seq, begin, end, my_functor);
        
    Other
      The new thrust::complex template provides complex number support.

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 CPU
    #391 avoid use of uppercase variable names
    #392 fix thrust::copy between cusp::complex & 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
    fail to link in some cases with nvcc -rdc=true.

    The CUDA implementation of thrust::reduce_by_key incorrectly outputs the last element in a segment of equivalent keys instead of the first.

#######################################
#           Thrust v1.7.0             #
#######################################

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 API 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
	free
	get_temporary_buffer
	malloc
        merge_by_key
        partition with stencil
        partition_copy with stencil
	return_temporary_buffer
        set_difference_by_key
        set_intersection_by_key
        set_symmetric_difference_by_key
        set_union_by_key
        stable_partition with stencil
        stable_partition_copy with stencil
	tabulate

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.

    #248 fix broken counting_iterator<float> behavior with OpenMP
    #231, #209 fix set operation failures with CUDA
    #187 fix incorrect occupancy calculation with CUDA
    #153 fix broken multigpu behavior with CUDA

#######################################

Summary
    Thrust v1.6.0 provides an interface for customization and extension and a new
    backend system based on the Threading Building Blocks library. With this
    new interface, programmers may customize the behavior of specific algorithms
    as well as control the allocation of temporary storage or invent entirely new
    backends. These enhancements also allow multiple different backend systems
    such as CUDA and OpenMP to coexist within a single program. Support for TBB
    allows Thrust programs to integrate more naturally into applications which
    may already employ the TBB task scheduler.

#######################################

Summary
    Thrust v1.5.0 provides introduces new programmer productivity and performance
    enhancements. New functionality for creating anonymous "lambda" functions has
    been added. A faster host sort provides 2-10x faster performance for sorting
    arithmetic types on (single-threaded) CPUs. A new OpenMP sort provides
    2.5x-3.0x speedup over the host sort using a quad-core CPU. When sorting
    arithmetic types with the OpenMP backend the combined performance improvement
    is 5.9x for 32-bit integers and ranges from 3.0x (64-bit types) to 14.2x
    (8-bit types). A new CUDA reduce_by_key implementation provides 2-3x faster
    performance.

Breaking API Changes
    device_ptr<void> no longer unsafely converts to device_ptr<T> without an
    explicit cast. Use the expression
    device_pointer_cast(static_cast<int*>(void_ptr.get()))
    to convert, for example, device_ptr<void> to device_ptr<int>.

New Features
    Functions
        stencil-less transform_if

    Types
        lambda placeholders

New Examples

    OMP sort provides speedup over host sort
    reduce_by_key is 2-3x faster
    reduce_by_key no longer requires O(N) temporary storage
    CUDA scan algorithms are 10-40% faster
    host_vector and device_vector are now documented
    out-of-memory exceptions now provide detailed information from CUDART
    improved histogram example
    device_reference now has a specialized swap
    reduce_by_key and scan algorithms are compatible with discard_iterator

#######################################

Summary
    Thrust v1.3.0 provides support for CUDA 3.2 in addition to many feature
    and performance enhancements.
    
    Performance of the sort and sort_by_key algorithms is improved by as much 
    as 3x in certain situations.  The performance of stream compaction algorithms,
    such as copy_if, is improved by as much as 2x.  Reduction performance is 
    also improved, particularly for small input sizes.
    
    CUDA errors are now converted to runtime exceptions using the system_error
    interface.  Combined with a debug mode, also new in v1.3, runtime errors
    can be located with greater precision.

#           Thrust v1.2.0             #
#######################################

Summary
    Thrust v1.2 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 API 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 &
    thrust::deprecated::gather_if. The new interface is provided at
    thrust::next::gather & 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().

    support for nvcc 3.0

Removed Functionality
    removed support for equal between host & device sequences
    removed support for gather() and scatter() between host & device sequences

Bug Fixes
    # 8 cause a compiler error if the required compiler is not found rather than a mysterious error at link time
    # 42 device_ptr & device_reference are classes rather than structs, eliminating warnings on certain platforms
    # 46 gather & scatter handle any space iterators correctly
    # 51 thrust::experimental::arch functions gracefully handle unrecognized GPUs
    # 52 avoid collisions with common user macros such as BLOCK_SIZE
    # 62 provide better documentation for device_reference
    # 68 allow built-in CUDA vector types to work with device_vector in pure C++ mode
    # 102 eliminated a race condition in device_vector::erase
    various compilation warnings eliminated

Known Issues
   inclusive_scan & exclusive_scan may fail with very large types
   the Microsoft compiler may fail to compile code using both sort and binary search algorithms
   uninitialized_fill & 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
   default_random_engine::discard is not accelerated with nvcc 2.3

Summary
    Thrust v1.1 introduces fancy iterators, binary search functions, and
    several specialized reduction functions.  Experimental support for
    segmented scan has also been added.

    added variant of remove_if with a stencil argument (issue #29)
    scan and reduce use cudaFuncGetAttributes to determine grid size
    exceptions are reported when temporary device arrays cannot be allocated 

Bug Fixes
     #5 make vector work for larger data types
     #9 stable_partition_copy doesn't respect OutputIterator concept semantics
    #10 scans should return OutputIterator
    #16 make algorithms work for larger data types

#######################################

Breaking API changes
    Rename top level namespace komrade to thrust.
    Move partition_copy() & stable_partition_copy() into thrust::experimental namespace until we can easily provide the standard interface.
    Rename range() to sequence() to avoid collision with Boost.Range.
    Rename copy_if() to copy_when() due to semantic differences with C++0x copy_if().

New Features
    Add C++0x style cbegin() & cend() methods to host_vector & device_vector.
    Add transform_if function.
    Add stencil versions of replace_if() & replace_copy_if().
    Allow counting_iterator to work with for_each().
    Allow types with constructors in comparison sort & reduce.

Other Enhancements
    merge_sort and stable_merge_sort are now 2 to 5x faster when executed on the parallel device.

Bug fixes
    Workaround an issue where an incremented iterator causes nvcc to crash. (Komrade issue #6)
    Fix an issue where const_iterators could not be passed to transform. (Komrade issue #7)
