// The original code had the following statement:: u[m * nx + it] = un[m * nx + it - 1] - c*dt / dx*(un[m * nx + it - 1] - un[(m - 1) * nx + it - 1]);

// Rather than having each thread perform this calculation which will be an additional 2 instructions per thread, i have just stored it in a variable

float total = c*dt / dx;

{

// The original code as can be seen below is basically copying array un to array u. So i arranged the threads to do the same

un[j * nx + i] = u[j * nx + i];

__syncthreads();

if (i != 0)

{

// This part was a bit trickier. As seen in the original code below array u would access all threads in the [0,0] [0,1] [0,2] etc... // And copy a value from array un's [1,1] [1,2] [1,3]..etc range. The trick here was the -1 difference at the end // Because in the original for look, (it) starts at the value 1, I added and if condition to make sure the threads don't perform the operation on the thread of value 0. But it can still be access through the -1 operator.

u[i] = un[1 * nx + i-1];

__syncthreads();
