Detailed Description

a device-side buffer that has its own cuda-malloc'ed memory on each device. DeviceBuffers are fastest to access on the device, BUT* are not visible on the host, and are replicated in the sense that changing to a device buffer on one GPU will not be visible on other GPUs

Member Typedef Documentation

SP

typedef std::shared_ptr<DeviceBuffer> owl::DeviceBuffer::SP

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DeviceBuffer()

owl::DeviceBuffer::DeviceBuffer	(	Context *const	context,
		OWLDataType	type
	)

contructor - creates the right device data type based on content type

Member Function Documentation

createOn()

RegisteredObject::DeviceData::SP owl::DeviceBuffer::createOn ( const DeviceContext::SP &  device )

override

creates the device-specific data for this group

getDD()

DeviceBuffer::DeviceData & owl::DeviceBuffer::getDD ( const DeviceContext::SP &  device ) const

inline

get reference to given device-specific data for this object

resize()

void owl::DeviceBuffer::resize ( size_t  newElementCount )

overridevirtual

resize this buffer - actual work will get done in DeviceData

Implements owl::Buffer.

toString()

std::string owl::DeviceBuffer::toString ( ) const

overridevirtual

pretty-printer, for debugging

Reimplemented from owl::Buffer.

upload() [1/2]

void owl::DeviceBuffer::upload ( const int  deviceID, const void *  hostPtr  )

overridevirtual

upload to only ONE device - only makes sense for device buffers

Implements owl::Buffer.

upload() [2/2]

void owl::DeviceBuffer::upload ( const void *  hostPtr )

overridevirtual

upload to device data(s) of that buffer - actual work will get done in DeviceData

Implements owl::Buffer.
