== Introduction
IMPORTANT: This specification is a draft.

NOTE: This document is better viewed when rendered as html with asciidoctor. GitHub does not render image icons.

This document describes an extension which adds a +group_mask+ type. Such a mask can be used to efficiently represent subsets of work-items in a group for which a given Boolean condition holds. Group mask functionality is currently limited to groups that are instances of the +sub_group+ class.

== Status

Working Draft

This is a preview extension specification, intended to provide early access to a feature for review and community feedback. When the feature matures, this specification may be released as a formal extension.

Because the interfaces defined by this specification are not final and are subject to change they are not intended to be used by shipping software products.

== Version

Built On: {docdate} +
Revision: 1

John Pennycook, Intel (john 'dot' pennycook 'at' intel 'dot' com)

== Dependencies

This extension is written against the SYCL 1.2.1 specification, Revision 6 and the following extensions:

- +SYCL_INTEL_sub_group+

== Overview

A group mask is an integral type sized such that each work-item in the group is represented by a single bit. Such a mask can be used to efficiently represent subsets of work-items in a group for which a given Boolean condition holds.

Group mask functionality is currently limited to groups that are instances of the +sub_group+ class, but this limitation may be lifted in a future version of the specification.

=== Ballot

The +ballot+ algorithm converts a Boolean condition from each work-item in the group into a group mask. Like other group algorithms, +ballot+ must be encountered by all work-items in the group in converged control flow.

|===
|Member Functions|Description

|+template <typename Group> Group::mask_type ballot(bool predicate = true) const+
|Return a +group_mask+ representing the set of work-items in the group for which _predicate_ is +true+.
|===

=== Group Masks

The group mask type is an opaque type, permitting implementations to use any mask representation subject to the following restrictions:

- The size and alignment of the mask type must be the same on the host and device
- A SYCL implementation supporting OpenCL interoperability must use a 128-bit mask convertible to a +vec<uint,4>+

Functions declared in the +mask+ class can be called independently by different work-items in the same group. An instance of a group class (e.g. +group+ or +sub_group+) is not required to manipulate a group mask.

The mask is defined such that the least significant bit (LSB) corresponds to the work-item with id 0, and the most significant bit (MSB) corresponds to the work-item with the id +max_local_range()-1+.

|===
|Member Function|Description

|+bool operator[](id<1> id) const+
|Return +true+ if the bit corresponding to the specified _id_ is set in the mask.

|+mask::reference operator[](id<1> id) const+
|Return a reference to the bit corresponding to the specified _id_ in the mask.

|+bool test(id<1> id) const+
|Return +true+ if the bit corresponding to the specified _id_ is set in the mask.

|+bool all() const+
|Return +true+ if all bits in the mask are set.

|+bool any() const+
|Return +true+ if any bits in the mask are set.

|+bool none() const+
|Return +true+ if none of the bits in the mask are set.

|+uint32_t count() const+
|Return the number of bits set in the mask.

|+uint32_t size() const+
|Return the number of bits in the mask.

|+id<1> find_low() const+
|Return the lowest +id+ with a corresponding bit set in the mask. If no bits are set, the return value is equal to `size()`.

|+id<1> find_high() const+
|Return the highest +id+ with a corresponding bit set in the mask. If no bits are set, the return value is equal to `size()`.

|+template <typename T = vec<uint32_t,4>> void insert_bits(T bits, id<1> pos = 0)+
|Insert `CHAR_BIT * sizeof(T)` bits into the mask, starting from _pos_. `T` must be an integral type or a SYCL vector of integral types. _pos_ must be a multiple of `CHAR_BIT * sizeof(T)` in the range [0, `size()`). If _pos_ + `CHAR_BIT * sizeof(T)` is greater than `size()`, the final `size()` - (_pos_ + `CHAR_BIT * sizeof(T)`) bits are ignored.

|+template <typename T = vec<uint32_t,4>> T extract_bits(id<1> pos = 0) const+
|Return `CHAR_BIT * sizeof(T)` bits from the mask, starting from _pos_. `T` must be an integral type or a SYCL vector of integral types. _pos_ must be a multiple of `CHAR_BIT * sizeof(T)` in the range [0, `size()`). If _pos_ + `CHAR_BIT * sizeof(T)` is greater than `size()`, the final `size()` - (_pos_ + `CHAR_BIT * sizeof(T)`) bits of the return value are zero.

|+void set()+
|Set all bits in the mask to true.

|+void set(id<1> id, bool value = true)+
|Set the bit corresponding to the specified _id_ to the value specified by _value_.

|+void reset()+
|Reset all bits in the mask.

|+void reset(id<1> id)+
|Reset the bit corresponding to the specified _id_.

|+void reset_low()+
|Reset the bit for the lowest +id+ with a corresponding bit set in the mask. Functionally equivalent to +reset(find_low())+.

|+void reset_high()+
|Reset the bit for the highest +id+ with a corresponding bit set in the mask. Functionally equivalent to +reset(find_high())+.

|+void flip()+
|Toggle the values of all bits in the mask.

|+void flip(id<1> id)+
|Toggle the value of the bit corresponding to the specified _id_.

|+bool operator==(group_mask rhs) const+
|Return true if each bit in this mask is equal to the corresponding bit in +rhs+.

|+bool operator!=(group_mask rhs) const+
|Return true if any bit in this mask is not equal to the corresponding bit in +rhs+.

|+group_mask operator &=(group_mask rhs)+
|Set the bits of this mask to the result of performing a bitwise AND with this mask and +rhs+.

|+group_mask operator |=(group_mask rhs)+
|Set the bits of this mask to the result of performing a bitwise OR with this mask and +rhs+.

|+group_mask operator ^=(group_mask rhs)+
|Set the bits of this mask to the result of performing a bitwise XOR with this mask and +rhs+.

|+group_mask operator <<=(size_t shift)+
|Set the bits of this mask to the result of shifting its bits _shift_ positions to the left using a logical shift. Bits that are shifted out to the left are discarded, and zeroes are shifted in from the right.

|+group_mask operator >>=(size_t shift)+
|Set the bits of this mask to the result of shifting its bits _shift_ positions to the right using a logical shift. Bits that are shifted out to the right are discarded, and zeroes are shifted in from the left.

|+group_mask operator ~() const+
|Return a mask representing the result of flipping all the bits in this mask.

|+group_mask operator <<(size_t shift)+
|Return a mask representing the result of shifting its bits _shift_ positions to the left using a logical shift. Bits that are shifted out to the left are discarded, and zeroes are shifted in from the right.

|+group_mask operator >>(size_t shift)+
|Return a mask representing the result of shifting its bits _shift_ positions to the right using a logical shift. Bits that are shifted out to the right are discarded, and zeroes are shifted in from the left.
|===

|===
|Function|Description

|+group_mask operator &(const group_mask& lhs, const group_mask& rhs)+
|Return a mask representing the result of performing a bitwise AND of +lhs+ and +rhs+.

|+group_mask operator |(const group_mask& lhs, const group_mask& rhs)+
|Return a mask representing the result of performing a bitwise OR of +lhs+ and +rhs+.

|+group_mask operator ^(const group_mask& lhs, const group_mask& rhs)+
|Return a mask representing the result of performing a bitwise XOR of +lhs+ and +rhs+.
