OffChipMem

OffChipMems are pointers to locations in the accelerators main memory to dense multi-dimensional arrays. They are the primary form of communication of data between the host and the accelerator. Data may be loaded to and from the accelerator in contiguous chunks (Tiles). Other access patterns will be supported soon!

Static methods

def apply(name: String, dims: Index*)(implicit ev0: Num[T]): OffChipMem[T]

Creates a reference to a multi-dimensional array in main memory with given name and dimensions


def apply(dims: Index*)(implicit ev0: Num[T]): OffChipMem[T]

Creates a reference to an unnamed multi-dimensional array in main memory with given dimensions
