I want to ask how can I convert this texture:
texture<int, 2, cudaReadModeElementType> text1;
to
texture<int4, 2, cudaReadModeElementType> text2;
So my problem is with the indexes. For example, imagine that I acceesed to the col 10 row 5 in text1 like this
int col 10;
int row 5;
int tex2d(text1, col, row);
But if I did the same, obviously I'm not accessing to the same data:
int col 10;
int row 5;
int4 tex2d(text2, col, row);
So, I tried like dividing the col / 4 and row /4, but I don't succeed either. I think that I should use DIV and MOD, but I don't know how.
Does anyone know how to access correctly using 4 channels? Thank you very much!
The only indexing you need to modify between the two cases is the horizontal (x) indexing. For the int4 case, the horizontal indexing can be divided by 4 (as compared to the int case) but it will retrieve 4 values. Here is a full example:
$ cat t1918.cu
#include <helper_cuda.h>
#include <cstdio>
#define HEIGHT 7680
#ifndef USE_INT4
#define WIDTH 7245
typedef int it;
#else
#define WIDTH 1812
typedef int4 it;
#endif
cudaArray * Array_Device;
texture<it, 2,cudaReadModeElementType> Image;
__global__ void k(int x, int y)
{
int w;
#ifdef USE_INT4
w = WIDTH*4;
#else
w = WIDTH;
#endif
for (y = 0; y < HEIGHT; y++)
for (x = 0; x < w; x++){
int nx=x, no=0;
#ifdef USE_INT4
no = x&3; //modulo by 4
nx >>= 2; //division by 4
#endif
it val = tex2D(Image,nx,y);
int rval = reinterpret_cast<int *>(&val)[no];
if (rval != y*10000+x) {
printf("mismatch at %d, %d, was: %d, should be: %d\n", x,y, rval, y*10000+x);
return;
}
}
}
void p()
{
it *h = new it[WIDTH*HEIGHT];
// this dataset and test-case only works for textures up to width of 9999 for int or 2499 for int4
for (int i = 0; i < HEIGHT; i++)
for (int j = 0; j < WIDTH; j++){
#ifndef USE_INT4
h[i*WIDTH+j] = i*10000+j;
#else
h[i*WIDTH+j] = {i*10000+j*4+0, i*10000+j*4+1, i*10000+j*4+2, i*10000+j*4+3};
#endif
}

The data stored in the texture in the int case looks like this:

In the int4 case it looks like this:

{1000,1001,1002,1003} {1004,1005,1006,1007} ...

The kernel demonstrates how to retrieve the same value for a given (x,y) coordinate given to the kernel, in either case.
Note that textures are deprecated and for new work you should switch to texture objects.
