Data organization and accessing patterns impact program efficiency. In (a), the data are written such that each row corresponds to the instances of a single attribute and (b) shows this data stretched into a one-dimensional array, by row-major order. In (c), the data are written such that each row corresponds to the attributes of a single instance, and (d) shows the corresponding one-dimensional representation of these data. The data highlighted in gray depict the memory access patterns of the threads within block (0,2)
