engine_set_device: Set the compute device for a BioclimEngine instance

In xbioclim: Bioclimatic Variables from Monthly Climate Data

Set the compute device for a BioclimEngine instance

Description

Controls whether the computation runs on a CUDA GPU or the CPU. When "auto" is selected the engine uses the GPU if at least one CUDA device is present, otherwise it falls back to the CPU. GPU requests on systems without a CUDA device silently fall back to the CPU.

Usage

engine_set_device(xptr, device)

Arguments

xptr	External pointer returned by engine_create.
device	Character scalar: one of "auto", "cpu", or "gpu".

Value

NULL invisibly.
