Sample Question
We want to use each thread to calculate two (adjacent) elements of vector addition. Assume that a variable I should be the index for the first element to be processed by a thread. What would be the expression for mapping the thread/block indices to the data index?

I = blockIdx.x*blockDim.x + threadIdx.x + 2

I = blockIdx.x*threadIdx.x*2

I = (blockIdx.x*blockDim.x + threadIdx.x)*2

I = blockIdx.x*threadIdx.x*2 + threadIdx.x
