I am trying to build a kernel to do parallel string search. To this end I tend to use a finite state machine. The transition table of the fsm is in the kernel argument states. The code:
__kernel void Find ( __constant char *text,
const int offset,
const int tlenght,
__constant char *characters,
const int clength,
const int maxlength,
__constant int *states,
const int statesdim){
private char c;
private int state;
private const int id = get_global_id(0);
if (id<(tlenght-maxlength)) {
private int cIndex,sd,s,k;
for (int i=0; i<maxlength; i++) {
c = text[i+offset];
cIndex = -1;
for (int j=0; j<clength; j++) {
if (characters[j]==c) {
cIndex = j;
}
}
if (cIndex==-1) {
state = 0;
break;
} else {
s = states[state+cIndex*statesdim];
}
if (state<=0) break;
}
}
}
If I compile this kernel using iocgui, I get the result:
Using default instruction set architecture.

When I change the line where the new state is determined to:
state = states[state+cIndex*statesdim];
The result is:
Using default instruction set architecture.
