File Allocator.h
Defines the public C interface to NVCV resource allocators.
Definition (nvcv_types/include/nvcv/alloc/Allocator.h
)
Detailed Description
Allocators objects allow users to override the resource allocation strategy used by several NVCV entities, such as images, operators, etc.
NVCV currently support three resource types:
host memory: memory directly accessible by CPU.
cuda memory : memory directly accessible by cuda-enabled GPU.
host pinned memory: memory directly accessible by both CPU and cuda-enabled GPU.
By default, the following functions are used to allocate and deallocate resourcees for these types.
Resource type Malloc Free
host memory malloc free
cuda memory cudaMalloc cudaFree
host pinned memory cudaHostAlloc cudaHostFree
By using defining custom resource allocators, user can override the allocation and deallocation functions used for each resource type. When overriding, they can pass a pointer to some user-defined context. It’ll be passed unchanged to the corresponding malloc and free function. This allows passing, for instance, a pointer to an object whose methods will be called from inside the overriden functions.
