The Idea is to get a safe object oriented interface for the memory management of CUDA devices in VTK.
(Also take a look at VTK Cuda Wrapper Classes for more information on VTK CUDA wrappings.)
Cuda Memory
Cuda memory comes in different:
- Host Memory: Non-Paged Memory on the host side for fast interaction with the CUDA devices. see vtkCudaHostMemory.h
- Linear Memory: Linerely arranged memory on the CUDA device. see vtkCudaMemory.h
- Pitch Memory: 2D memory arrays that are aligned in the correct fashion for a fast interaction on the cuda devices. (Arranged over the memory banks for quick access). see vtkCudaMemoryPitch.h
- Array Memory: Arrays allocated over the CUDA API. see vtkCudaMemoryArray.h
- Texture Memory: Not discussed here. see VTK Cuda Wrapper Classes
