Remarks

The array_view class represents a view into the data that is contained in an array object or a subsection of an array object.

You can access the array_view object where the source data is located (locally) or on a different accelerator or a coherence domain (remotely). When you access the object remotely, views are copied and cached as necessary. Except for the effects of automatic caching, array_view objects have a performance profile similar to that of array objects. There is a small performance penalty when you access the data through views.

There are three remote usage scenarios:

  • A view to a system memory pointer is passed by means of a parallel_for_each call to an accelerator and accessed on the accelerator.

  • A view to an array located on an accelerator is passed by means of a parallel_for_each call to another accelerator and is accessed there.

  • A view to an array located on an accelerator is accessed on the CPU.

In any one of these scenarios, the referenced views are copied by the runtime to the remote location and, if modified by the calls to the array_view object, are copied back to the local location. The runtime might optimize the process of copying changes back, might copy only changed elements, or might copy unchanged portions also. Overlapping array_view objects on one data source are not guaranteed to maintain referential integrity in a remote location.

You must synchronize any multithreaded access to the same data source.

The runtime makes the following guarantees regarding the caching of data in array_view objects:

  • All well-synchronized accesses to an array object and an array_view object on it in program order obey a serial happens-before relationship.

  • All well-synchronized accesses to overlapping array_view objects on the same accelerator on a single array object are aliased through the array object. They induce a total occurs-before relationship which obeys program order. There is no caching. If the array_view objects are executing on different accelerators, the order of access is undefined, creating a race condition.

When you create an array_view object using a pointer in system memory, you must change the view array_view object only through the array_view pointer. Alternatively, you must call refresh() on one of the array_view objects that are attached to the system pointer, if the underlying native memory is changed directly, instead of through the array_view object.

Either action notifies the array_view object that the underlying native memory is changed and that any copies that are located on an accelerator are outdated. If you follow these guidelines, the pointer-based views are identical to those provided to views of data-parallel arrays.

Parameters

_Arr_type
The element type of a C-style array from which data is supplied.

_Container
A template argument that must specify a linear container that supports data() and size() members.

_E0
The most significant component of the extent of this section.

_E1
The next-to-most-significant component of the extent of this section.

_E2
The least significant component of the extent of this section.

_Extent
The extent in each dimension of this array_view.

_Other
An object of type array_view<T,N> from which to initialize the new array_view.

_Size
The size of a C-style array from which data is supplied.

_Src
A pointer to the source data that will be copied into the new array.

array_view::copy_to Method

Copies the contents of the array_view object to the specified destination object by calling copy(*this, dest).

void copy_to(
    array<value_type, _Rank>& _Dest) const;

 
 
void copy_to(
    array_view<value_type, _Rank>& _Dest) const;

 

Parameters

_Dest
The object to copy to.

array_view::data Method

Returns a pointer to the raw data of the array_view.

value_type* data
() const restrict(amp,
    cpu);

 
const value_type* data
() const restrict(amp,
    cpu);

Return Value

A pointer to the raw data of the array_view.

array_view::discard_data Method

Discards the current data underlying this view. This is an optimization hint to the runtime used to avoid copying the current contents of the view to a target accelerator_view that it is accessed on, and its use is recommended if the existing content is not needed. This method is a no-op when used in a restrict(amp) context

void discard_data() const restrict(cpu);

array_view::extent Data Member

Gets the extent object that defines the shape of the array_view object.

__declspec(property(get= get_extent)) Concurrency::extent<_Rank> extent;  

array_view::get_extent Method

Returns the extent object of the array_view object.

Concurrency::extent<_Rank> get_extent() const restrict(cpu, amp);

Return Value

The extent object of the array_view object

array_view::get_ref Method

Get a reference to the element indexed by _Index. Unlike the other indexing operators for accessing the array_view on the CPU, this method does not implicitly synchronize this array_view's contents to the CPU. After accessing the array_view on a remote location or performing a copy operation involving this array_view users are responsible to explicitly synchronize the array_view to the CPU before calling this method. Failure to do so results in undefined behavior.

value_type& get_ref(
    const index<_Rank>& _Index) const restrict(amp, cpu);

Parameters

_Index
The index.

Return Value

Reference to the element indexed by _Index

array_view::get_source_accelerator_view Method

Returns the accelerator_view where the data source of the array_view is located. If the array_view does not have a data source, this API throws a runtime_exception

accelerator_view get_source_accelerator_view() const;

 

Return Value

array_view::operator() Operator
