We used to have algorithm diagrams in CUB docs. For instance, reduction used to have the following picture:

We haven't carried these visualizations into the new sphinx-based docs but users found these very useful. There's an issue with adopting these images as is. First of all, they are at very low resolution. Apart from that, I'd like to avoid storing binary blobs in version control system. These concerns can be addressed if we change the approach to drawing these diagrams and use something like sphinxcontrib-tikz. That'd let us store images as text inline. This would further help when we adopt a different docs theme that had dark mode.
