# cubDeviceFind - CUB DeviceFind Search Algorithms

## Description

This sample demonstrates the three device-wide search algorithms: `cub::DeviceFind::FindIf` for predicate search, and `cub::DeviceFind::LowerBound` / `UpperBound` for parallel binary search. Results are verified against `std::find_if`, `std::lower_bound`, and `std::upper_bound` on the host.

## Key Concepts

CCCL 3.3, CUB Device Algorithms, Parallel Search, Binary Search

## Dependencies needed to build/run

[CCCL 3.3+](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl). Fetched automatically via CPM at configure time (pinned to `v3.3.3`). Override with `-DCCCL_SOURCE_DIR=/path/to/cccl` to use a local checkout.

## Prerequisites

Download and install the [CUDA Toolkit](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) for your corresponding platform.
Make sure the dependencies mentioned in [Dependencies]() section above are installed.
