I don’t think the example code here is legal under any SPMD models I am aware of. It’s generally not legal to have barrier operations under divergent control flow, such as divergent trip-count loops.
From the CUDA docs:
> __syncthreads() is allowed in conditional code but only if the conditional evaluates identically across the entire thread block, otherwise the code execution is likely to hang or produce unintended side effects.
