Detailed Description

Returns a host pointer to the data.

Host-side pointer to matrix data. Data stored in column-major (Fortran) order. Call array::free() when done to allow garbage collection. Modification of this data has no effect on device copy.

const

Returns the data to device pointer of type T.

Host-side pointer to matrix data. Data stored in column-major (Fortran) order. Call array::free() when done to allow garbage collection. Modification of this data has no effect on device copy.

array A = randu(5);
float *h_A = A.host<float>();
float firstval = h_A[1]; // grab second value
array::free(h_A); // finished

Returns

A pointer to the data on the host
