Detailed Description

template<typename NumericT>
class viennacl::const_entry_proxy< NumericT >

A proxy class for a single element of a vector or matrix. This proxy should not be noticed by end-users of the library.

This proxy provides access to a single entry of a vector. If the element is assigned to a GPU object, no unnecessary transfers to the CPU and back to GPU are initiated.

Template Parameters

NumericT

Either float or double

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename NumericT>

viennacl::const_entry_proxy< NumericT >::const_entry_proxy ( vcl_size_t  mem_offset, handle_type const &  mem_handle  )

inlineexplicit

The constructor for the proxy class. Declared explicit to avoid any surprises created by the compiler.

Parameters

mem_offset	The memory offset in multiples of sizeof(NumericT) relative to the memory pointed to by the handle
mem_handle	A viennacl::ocl::handle for the memory buffer on the GPU.

Definition at line 190 of file entry_proxy.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename NumericT>

handle_type const& viennacl::const_entry_proxy< NumericT >::handle ( ) const

inline

Returns the memory handle.

Definition at line 216 of file entry_proxy.hpp.

template<typename NumericT>

unsigned int viennacl::const_entry_proxy< NumericT >::index ( ) const

inline

Returns the index of the represented element.

Definition at line 212 of file entry_proxy.hpp.

template<typename NumericT>

viennacl::const_entry_proxy< NumericT >::operator NumericT ( ) const

inline

Conversion to a CPU floating point value.

This conversion allows to write something like double test = vector(4); However, one has to keep in mind that CPU<->GPU transfers are very slow compared to CPU<->CPU operations.
