CudaDeviceVariable

A CudaDeviceVariable (and its variations) object represents allocated memory on the device. The class knows about the exact memory layout (as array length, array dimension, memory pitch, etc.). As the class is a generic, it also knows about its type and type size. All this simplifies dramatically any data copying as no size parameters are needed. Only the source or destination array must be defined (either a default C# host array or another device variable). Device memory is freed as soon as the CudaDeviceVariable object is disposed.

Example code:

//One kernel per cu file:
CudaKernel kernel = ctx.LoadKernel(@"path\to\kernel.ptx", "kernelname");
kernel.GridDimensions = new dim3(1, 1, 1);
kernel.BlockDimensions = new dim3(16, 16),

//Multiple kernels per cu file:
CUmodule cumodule = ctx.LoadModule(@"path\to\kernel.ptx");
CudaKernel kernel1 = new CudaKernel("kernel1", cumodule, ctx)
{
	GridDimensions = new dim3(1, 1, 1),
	BlockDimensions = new dim3(16, 16),
};
CudaKernel kernel2 = new CudaKernel("kernel2", cumodule, ctx)
{
	GridDimensions = new dim3(1, 1, 1),
	BlockDimensions = new dim3(16, 16),
};
