/// The \c reduce() algorithm assumes that the binary reduction function is

/// \c plus<float>() function as floating-point addition is not associative
/// and may produce slightly different results than a serial algorithm.
///
/// This algorithm supports both host and device iterators for the
/// result argument. This allows for values to be reduced and copied
/// to the host all with a single function call.
///
/// For example, to calculate the sum of the values in a device vector and
/// copy the result to a value on the host:
///
/// \snippet test/test_reduce.cpp sum_int
///
/// Note that while the the \c reduce() algorithm is conceptually identical to
/// the \c accumulate() algorithm, its implementation is substantially more
/// efficient on parallel hardware. For more information, see the documentation
/// on the \c accumulate() algorithm.
