Figure: Three-Dimensional Work Size

The concept of work size can be extended to a three-dimensional space. The preceding figure illustrates this work size as a three-dimensional cube of size 16x16x16. While the total number of work items is again 406, the work space is now defined across three different dimensions. This works well for applications that can be defined across three dimensions such as 3D computer graphics and data mining algorithms. Similar to the one- and two-dimensional cases, three dimensional work-items can be implemented to operate in a concurrent fashion on the FPGA device.
