`DynRankView`#

Header file: <Kokkos_DynRankView.hpp>

Usage#

DynRankView is a potential reference counted multidimensional array with compile time layouts and memory space. Its semantics are similar to that of std::shared_ptr. The DynRankView differs from the [[View|Kokkos::View]] in that its rank is not provided with the DataType template parameter; it is determined dynamically based on the number of extent arguments passed to the constructor. The rank has an upper bound of 7 dimensions.

Description#

template<class DataType, class LayoutType, class MemorySpace, class MemoryTraits> class DynRankView;#

Template Parameters:

DataType –
Defines the fundamental scalar type of the DynRankView

Attention

This parameter is mandatory

The basic structure is ScalarType. Examples:
- double: a DynRankView of double, dimensions are passed as arguments to the constructor, the number of which determine the rank.
LayoutType –
Determines the mapping of indices into the underlying 1D memory storage

Important

This parameter is optional

Custom Layouts can be implemented, but Kokkos comes with some built-in ones:
- LayoutRight: Strides increase from the right most to the left most dimension. The last dimension has a stride of one. This corresponds to how C multi dimensional arrays ([][][]) are laid out in memory.
- LayoutLeft: Strides increase from the left most to the right most dimension. The first dimension has a stride of one. This is the layout Fortran uses for its arrays.
- LayoutStride: Strides can be arbitrary for each dimension.
MemorySpace –
Controls the storage location

Important

This parameter is optional

If omitted, the default memory space of the default execution space is used (i.e. Kokkos::DefaultExecutionSpace::memory_space)
MemoryTraits –
Finer-grained control on the memory access

Important

This parameter is optional
- Unmanaged: The DynRankView will not be reference counted. The allocation has to be provided to the constructor.
- Atomic: All accesses to the view will use atomic operations.
- RandomAccess: Hint that the view is used in a random access manner. If the view is also const, this will trigger special load operations on GPUs (i.e. texture fetches).
- Restrict: There is no aliasing of the view by other data structures in the current scope.

Important

Template parameters other than DataType are optional, but ordering is enforced. That means for example that LayoutType can be omitted but if both MemorySpace and MemoryTraits are specified, MemorySpace must come before MemoryTraits.

Public Static Variables

rank: Rank of the view (i.e. the dimensionality).
rank_dynamic: Number of runtime determined dimensions.
reference_type_is_lvalue_reference: Whether the reference type is a C++ lvalue reference.

Data Access Functions

reference_type operator()(const IntType&... indices) const#: Returns a value of reference_type which may or not be reference itself. The number of index arguments must match the rank of the view. See notes on reference_type for properties of the return type.

reference_type access(const IntType &i0 = 0, const IntType &i1 = 0, const IntType &i2 = 0, const IntType &i3 = 0, const IntType &i4 = 0, const IntType &i5 = 0, const IntType &i6 = 0) const#: Returns a value of reference_type which may or not be reference itself. The number of index arguments must be equal or larger than the rank of the view. Index arguments beyond rank must be 0 , which will be enforced if KOKKOS_DEBUG is defined. See notes on reference_type for properties of the return type.

Data Layout, Dimensions, Strides

constexpr array_layout layout() const#: Returns the layout object. Can be used to to construct other views with the same dimensions.

template<class iType> constexpr size_t extent(const iType &dim) const#: Returns the extent of the specified dimension. iType must be an integral type, and dim must be smaller than rank.

template<class iType> constexpr int extent_int(const iType &dim) const#: Returns the extent of the specified dimension as an int. iType must be an integral type, and dim must be smaller than rank. Compared to extent this function can be useful on architectures where int operations are more efficient than size_t. It also may eliminate the need for type casts in applications which otherwise perform all index operations with int.

template<class iType> constexpr size_t stride(const iType &dim) const#: Returns the stride of the specified dimension. iType must be an integral type, and dim must be smaller than rank. Example: a.stride(3) == (&a(i0,i1,i2,i3+1,i4)-&a(i0,i1,i2,i3,i4))

constexpr size_t stride_0() const#: Return the stride of dimension 0.

constexpr size_t stride_1() const#: Return the stride of dimension 1.

constexpr size_t stride_2() const#: Return the stride of dimension 2.

constexpr size_t stride_3() const#: Return the stride of dimension 3.

constexpr size_t stride_4() const#: Return the stride of dimension 4.

constexpr size_t stride_5() const#: Return the stride of dimension 5.

constexpr size_t stride_6() const#: Return the stride of dimension 6.

constexpr size_t stride_7() const#: Return the stride of dimension 7.

constexpr size_t span() const#: Return the memory span in elements between the element with the lowest and the highest address. This can be larger than the product of extents due to padding, and or non-contiguous data layout as for example LayoutStride allows.

constexpr pointer_type data() const#: Return the pointer to the underlying data allocation.

bool span_is_contiguous() const#: Whether the span is contiguous (i.e. whether every memory location between in span belongs to the index space covered by the view).

static constexpr size_t required_allocation_size(size_t N0 = 0, size_t N1 = 0, size_t N2 = 0, size_t N3 = 0, size_t N4 = 0, size_t N5 = 0, size_t N6 = 0, size_t N7 = 0, size_t N8 = 0);#: Returns the number of bytes necessary for an unmanaged view of the provided dimensions. This function is only valid if array_layout::is_regular == true.

static constexpr size_t required_allocation_size(const array_layout &layout);#

Returns:: the number of bytes necessary for an unmanaged view of the provided layout.

Other Public Methods

int use_count() const#

Returns:: the current reference count of the underlying allocation.

const char *label() const;#

Returns:: the label of the DynRankView.

constexpr unsigned rank() const#

Returns:: the dynamic rank of the DynRankView.

constexpr bool is_allocated() const#

Returns:: true if the view points to a valid memory location. This function works for both managed and unmanaged views. With the unmanaged view, there is no guarantee that referenced address is valid, only that it is a non-null pointer.

Assignment Rules#

Assignment rules cover the assignment operator as well as copy constructors. We aim at making all logically legal assignments possible, while intercepting illegal assignments if possible at compile time, otherwise at runtime. In the following, we use DstType and SrcType as the type of the destination view and source view respectively. dst_view and src_view refer to the runtime instances of the destination and source views, i.e.:

ScrType src_view(...);
DstType dst_view(src_view);
dst_view = src_view;

The following conditions must be met at and are evaluated at compile time:

DstType::rank == SrcType::rank
DstType::non_const_value_type is the same as SrcType::non_const_value_type
If std::is_const<SrcType::value_type>::value == true than std::is_const<DstType::value_type>::value == true.
MemorySpaceAccess<DstType::memory_space,SrcType::memory_space>::assignable == true

Furthermore there are rules which must be met if DstType::array_layout is not the same as SrcType::array_layout. These rules only cover cases where both layouts are one of LayoutLeft , LayoutRight or LayoutStride

If neither DstType::array_layout nor SrcType::array_layout is LayoutStride:
- If DstType::rank > 1 than DstType::array_layout must be the same as SrcType::array_layout.
If either DstType::array_layout or SrcType::array_layout is LayoutStride
- For each dimension k it must hold that dst_view.extent(k) == src_view.extent(k)

Examples#

#include<Kokkos_Core.hpp>
#include<cstdio>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    Kokkos::initialize(argc,argv);

    int N0 = atoi(argv[1]);
    int N1 = atoi(argv[2]);

    Kokkos::DynRankView<double> a("A",N0);
    Kokkos::DynRankView<double> b("B",N1);

    Kokkos::parallel_for("InitA", N0, KOKKOS_LAMBDA (const int& i) {
        a(i) = i;
    });

    Kokkos::parallel_for("InitB", N1, KOKKOS_LAMBDA (const int& i) {
        b(i) = i;
    });

    Kokkos::DynRankView<double,Kokkos::LayoutLeft> c("C",N0,N1);
    {
        Kokkos::DynRankView<const double> const_a(a);
        Kokkos::DynRankView<const double> const_b(b);
        Kokkos::parallel_for("SetC", Kokkos::MDRangePolicy<Kokkos::Rank<2,Kokkos::Iterate::Left>>({0,0},{N0,N1}),
            KOKKOS_LAMBDA (const int& i0, const int& i1) {
            c(i0,i1) = a(i0) * b(i1);
        });
    }

    Kokkos::finalize();
}
