gpuMatrix-class: gpuMatrix Class

In gpuR: GPU Functions for R Objects

Description

This is the 'mother' class for all gpuMatrix objects. It is essentially a wrapper for a basic R matrix (possibly to be improved). All other gpuMatrix classes inherit from this class but there are no current circumstances where this class is used directly.

There are multiple child classes that correspond to the particular data type contained. These include igpuMatrix, fgpuMatrix, and dgpuMatrix corresponding to integer, float, and double data types respectively.

Slots

Common to all gpuMatrix objects in the package

address:

Pointer to data matrix

.context_index:

Integer index of OpenCL contexts

.platform_index:

Integer index of OpenCL platforms

.platform:

Name of OpenCL platform

.device_index:

Integer index of active device

.device:

Name of active device

Note

R does not contain a native float type. As such, the matrix data within a fgpuMatrix-class will be represented as double but downcast when any gpuMatrix methods are used.

May also remove the type slot
