multi item replacing in cuda thrust

I have a device vector A,B,C as following.

A = [1,1,3,3,3,4,4,5,5]
B = [1,3,5]
C = [2,8,6]

So I want to replace each of B in a with corresponding element in C. Eg:

1 is replaced by 2,
3 is replaced by 8,
5 is replaced by 6

so as to get the following result

Result = [2,2,8,8,8,4,4,6,6]

How do I achieve this in cuda thrust or any way of implementing it in cuda C++. I found thrust::replace which replaces single element at once. Since I need to replace huge amount of data, it becomes bottleneck to replace one at a time.

This can be done efficiently by first building a map and then applying a custom functor which queries the map.

The example code does the following steps:

Get the largest element of C. This assumes that your data is already sorted.
Create a map vector of size largest_element. Copy the new values at the position of the old ones.
Apply the mapper functor to A. This functor reads new_value from the map vector. If this new_value is not 0, the value in A is replaced by the new value. This assumes that C will never contain 0. If it can contain 0, you must use another condition, e.g. initialize the map vector with -1 and check if new_value != -1

       if (new_value)
       {
          value = new_value;
       }
    }

};

int main()
{
    using namespace thrust::placeholders;

    int A[] = {1,1,3,3,3,4,4,5,5};
    int B[] = {1,3,5};
    int C[] = {2,8,6};

    int size_data    = sizeof(A)/sizeof(A[0]);
    int size_replace = sizeof(B)/sizeof(B[0]);

    // copy demo data to GPU
    thrust::device_vector<int> d_A (A, A+size_data);
    thrust::device_vector<int> d_B (B, B+size_replace);
    thrust::device_vector<int> d_C (C, C+size_replace);

    PRINTER(d_A);
    PRINTER(d_B);
    PRINTER(d_C);

    int largest_element = d_C.back();

    thrust::device_vector<int> d_map(largest_element);

    thrust::scatter(d_C.begin(), d_C.end(), d_B.begin(), d_map.begin());
    PRINTER(d_map);

    thrust::for_each(d_A.begin(), d_A.end(), mapper<int>(d_map.data()));
    PRINTER(d_A);

    return 0;
}

output
