Well the problem I have is the following:
I have this kernel that tries to calculate the betweenness centrality of a graph in parallel. What happens is actually very strange since a loop is executed two times by one of the work groups. In average once every 7-8 runs the second while loop ( while(count<nr_roots) ) gets executed twice by a workgroup although at the first iteration the count variable is incremented. So for my case I have a 12 vertices graph and nr_roots is 1, count is 0, the while gets executed, count gets incremented by 1, and still cout will be viewed as 0 one more time.
This happends only once every 6-7 runs, remeber that, not always. Does anyone have any idea why? I also tried making count a __local variable (shared by group) and also made it __private ( shared by the work-item only), no success. Any tips, suggestions are more than welcome!
