Mojo function

lane_group_max

lane_group_max[val_type: DType, simd_width: Int, //, num_lanes: Int, stride: Int = 1](val: SIMD[val_type, simd_width]) -> SIMD[val_type, simd_width]

Reduces a SIMD value to its maximum within a lane group using warp-level operations.

This function performs a parallel reduction across a group of lanes to find the maximum value. The reduction is done using warp shuffle operations for efficient communication between lanes. The result is stored in all participating lanes.

Parameters:

val_type (DType): The data type of the SIMD elements (e.g. float32, int32).
simd_width (Int): The number of elements in the SIMD vector.
num_lanes (Int): The number of threads participating in the reduction.
stride (Int): The stride between lanes participating in the reduction.

Args:

val (SIMD[val_type, simd_width]): The SIMD value to reduce. Each lane contributes its value to find the maximum.

Returns:

A SIMD value where all participating lanes contain the maximum value found across the lane group. Non-participating lanes (lane_id >= num_lanes) retain their original values.
