Hi all, I am writing a CUDA kernel for Histogram on a picture, but I had no idea how to return a array from the kernel, and the array will change when other thread read it. Any possible solution for it?

__global__ void Hist(
    TColor *dst, //input image
    int imageW,
    int imageH,
 int*data
){
    const int ix = blockDim.x * blockIdx.x + threadIdx.x;
    const int iy = blockDim.y * blockIdx.y + threadIdx.y;

if(ix < imageW && iy < imageH)
{
  int pixel = get_red(dst[imageW * (iy) + (ix)]);
                  //this assign specific RED value of image to pixel

  data[pixel] ++; // ?? problem statement ...
 }
}

@para d_dst: input image TColor is equals to float4.

@para data: the array for histogram size [255]

extern "C" void
cuda_Hist(TColor *d_dst, int imageW, int imageH,int* data) 
{
  dim3 threads(BLOCKDIM_X, BLOCKDIM_Y);
  dim3 grid(iDivUp(imageW, BLOCKDIM_X), iDivUp(imageH, BLOCKDIM_Y));
  Hist<<<grid, threads>>>(d_dst, imageW, imageH, data);
}
