cdpQuadtree does not work correctly on a large number of points

[pwrliang]

I've found that the quadtree example doesn't work correctly for a large number of points, such as 100K. It fails the "check_quadtree" test. I tried to locate the problem with compute-sanitizer, which reported illegal memory access. Without the sanitizer, the kernel doesn't raise an error; it just produces incorrect results. By default, the tree depth is 8. With a leaf that can hold 16 points, it can hold 4^8 ∗16, which is about 1M points, but the sample code doesn't work as expected. Can you help me solve this issue?

Hi, Can I handle this issue now?

[JIARONGLI666]

children[child_offset + 0].set_range(node.points_begin(), s_num_pts[0][warp_id]); children[child_offset + 1].set_range(s_num_pts[0][warp_id], s_num_pts[1][warp_id]); children[child_offset + 2].set_range(s_num_pts[1][warp_id], s_num_pts[2][warp_id]); children[child_offset + 3].set_range(s_num_pts[2][warp_id], s_num_pts[3][warp_id]);

hi, I find the sample code has something wrong with this 4 lines,maybe it should be

children[child_offset + 0].set_range(node.points_begin(), s_num_pts[1][0]); children[child_offset + 1].set_range(s_num_pts[1][0], s_num_pts[2][0]); children[child_offset + 2].set_range(s_num_pts[2][0], s_num_pts[3][0]); children[child_offset + 3].set_range(s_num_pts[3][0], node.points_end());

and try to increase min_points_per_node from 16 to a large num, such as 512...,it should be done
