Performance

hi

I am working on GPU device which has very high division integer latency, several hundred cycles. I am looking to optimize divisions.

All divisions by denominator which is in a set { 1,3,6,10 }, however numerator is a runtime positive value, roughly 32000 or less. due to memory constraints, lookup table is not option.

Can you think of alternatives? I have thought of computing float point inverses, and using those to multiply numerator.

Thanks
