 * \brief DeviceSegmentedRadixSort provides device-wide, parallel operations for computing a batched radix sort across multiple, non-overlapping sequences of data items residing within device-accessible memory. ![](segmented_sorting_logo.png)
 * \ingroup SegmentedModule
 *
 * \par Overview
 * The [<em>radix sorting method</em>](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_sort) arranges
 * items into ascending (or descending) order.  The algorithm relies upon a positional representation for
 * keys, i.e., each key is comprised of an ordered sequence of symbols (e.g., digits,
 * characters, etc.) specified from least-significant to most-significant.  For a
 * given input sequence of keys and a set of rules specifying a total ordering
 * of the symbolic alphabet, the radix sorting method produces a lexicographic
 * ordering of those keys.
 *
 * \par
 * DeviceSegmentedRadixSort can sort all of the built-in C++ numeric primitive types
 * (<tt>unsigned char</tt>, \p int, \p double, etc.) as well as CUDA's \p __half
 * half-precision floating-point type.  Although the direct radix sorting
 * method can only be applied to unsigned integral types, DeviceSegmentedRadixSort
 * is able to sort signed and floating-point types via simple bit-wise transformations
 * that ensure lexicographic key ordering.
 *
 * \par Usage Considerations

     * \par
     * - The contents of the input data are not altered by the sorting operation
     * - When input a contiguous sequence of segments, a single sequence
     *   \p segment_offsets (of length <tt>num_segments+1</tt>) can be aliased
     *   for both the \p d_begin_offsets and \p d_end_offsets parameters (where
     *   the latter is specified as <tt>segment_offsets+1</tt>).
     * - An optional bit subrange <tt>[begin_bit, end_bit)</tt> of differentiating key bits can be specified.  This can reduce overall sorting overhead and yield a corresponding performance improvement.
     * - \devicestorageNP  For sorting using only <em>O</em>(<tt>P</tt>) temporary storage, see the sorting interface using DoubleBuffer wrappers below.

     * \brief Sorts segments of keys into descending order. (~<em>N </em>auxiliary storage required).
     *
     * \par
     * - The sorting operation is given a pair of key buffers managed by a
     *   DoubleBuffer structure that indicates which of the two buffers is
     *   "current" (and thus contains the input data to be sorted).
     * - The contents of both buffers may be altered by the sorting operation.
     * - Upon completion, the sorting operation will update the "current" indicator
     *   within the DoubleBuffer wrapper to reference which of the two buffers
     *   now contains the sorted output sequence (a function of the number of key bits
     *   specified and the targeted device architecture).
     * - When input a contiguous sequence of segments, a single sequence
     *   \p segment_offsets (of length <tt>num_segments+1</tt>) can be aliased
     *   for both the \p d_begin_offsets and \p d_end_offsets parameters (where
     *   the latter is specified as <tt>segment_offsets+1</tt>).
     * - An optional bit subrange <tt>[begin_bit, end_bit)</tt> of differentiating key bits can be specified.  This can reduce overall sorting overhead and yield a corresponding performance improvement.
