device_context

This module provides functionality for interacting with accelerators. In particular the DeviceContext struct, which represents a single stream of execution on a given accelerator. You can use this struct to allocate accelerator memory, copy data to and from the accelerator, and compile and execute functions on the accelerator.

Structs

  • DeviceBuffer: Represents a block of device-resident storage. For GPU devices, a device buffer is allocated in the device's global memory.
  • DeviceContext: Represents a single stream of execution on a particular accelerator (GPU).
  • DeviceEvent: Represents a GPU event for synchronization between streams.
  • DeviceExternalFunction: Represents an external device function loaded from PTX/SASS assembly.
  • DeviceFunction: Represents a compiled device function for GPU execution.
  • DeviceMulticastBuffer: Represents a multicast memory object enables special memory operations to be broadcast across a group of devices.
  • EventFlags: Provides flags for creating events.
  • HostBuffer: Represents a block of host-resident storage. For GPU devices, a host buffer is allocated in the host's global memory.
  • StreamPriorityRange: Represents the range of valid stream priorities for a GPU device.
