Question: JCuda integration
Hello,
Thanks a lot for the library.
I wondered if you think one could integrate JCuda (https://github.com/jcuda/jcuda-main) in your java API? From my understanding, the device variables should be interchangeable between ThrustRTC and JCuda?
For the context, I am interesting to use ThurstRTC Java API from Clojure.
Best regards, David
Hi, I've just added some new interfaces to the JAVA API:
-
long DVVector.native_pointer(): You can use this to retrieve a native CUDA pointer from a DVVector object
-
class DVVectorAdaptor: You can use a native CUDA pointer from an external library to initialize a DVVectorAdaptor object, then use it similarity as a DVVector object.
Theoretically these 2 interfaces should enable the interoperation with jcuda. Basically, you get a native pointer from one library, then pass it to the other library to initialize an object in the 2nd library, by I haven't got a chance to try it yet.
Looks like getting a native pointer from jcuda is a little bit tricky: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31993759/how-can-i-create-a-struct-of-native-pointers-in-jcuda
