@kpet This is related to #1852
We use reduction argument on simulation then too high number of work items makes test very long and we see timeouts. Would be nice have previous value set. I agree there is a need to implement function which will calculate this number accordingly

Merging this PR would result in failures for the implementations listed in #1852. Is the issue you're seeing on a final device or development environment? If the latter, maybe we could introduce command line options to help.

By default value is set as in #1852 Only when someone use reduction argument (percentage in command line) Do you use it ?
if (g_reduction_percentage != 100)

@gwawiork Apologies I'd missed that when quickly skimming through it. I've now approved the PR. Should be fine.

Discussed in the April 16th teleconference. We'll give this one more week for review, but are hoping to merge shortly.
