Members

Public Constructors

Name	Description
array_view::array_view Constructor	Initializes a new instance of the array_view class. There is no default constructor for array<T,N>. All constructors are restricted to run on the CPU only and cannot be executed on a Direct3D target.
array_view::~array_view Destructor	Destroys the array_view object.

Public Methods

Name	Description
array_view::copy_to Method	Copies the contents of the array_view object to the specified destination by calling copy(*this, dest).
array_view::data Method	Returns a pointer to the raw data of the array_view.
array_view::discard_data Method	Discards the current data underlying this view.
array_view::get_extent Method	Returns the extent object of the array_view object.
array_view::get_ref Method	Returns a reference to the indexed element.
array_view::get_source_accelerator_view Method	Returns the accelerator_view where the data source of the array_view is located.
array_view::refresh Method	Notifies the array_view object that its bound memory has been modified outside the array_view interface. A call to this method renders all cached information stale.
array_view::reinterpret_as Method	Returns a one-dimensional array that contains all the elements in the array_view object.
array_view::section Method	Returns a subsection of the array_view object that's at the specified origin and, optionally, that has the specified extent.
array_view::synchronize Method	Synchronizes any modifications made to the array_view object back to its source data.
array_view::synchronize_async Method	Asynchronously synchronizes any modifications made to the array_view object back to its source data.
array_view::synchronize_to Method	Synchronizes any modifications made to the array_view object to the specified accelerator_view.
array_view::synchronize_to_async Method	Asynchronously synchronizes any modifications made to the array_view object to the specified accelerator_view.
array_view::view_as Method	Produces an array_view object of a different rank using this array_view object’s data.

Public Operators

Name	Description
array_view::operator() Operator	Returns the value of the element that is specified by the parameter or parameters.
array_view::operator[] Operator	Returns the element that is specified by the parameters.
array_view::operator= Operator	Copies the contents of the specified array_view object into this one.

Public Constants

Name	Description
array_view::rank Constant	Stores the rank of the array_view object.

Data Members

Name	Description
array_view::extent Data Member	Gets the extent object that defines the shape of the array_view object.
array_view::source_accelerator_view Data Member	Gets the accelerator_view where the data source of the array_view is located
array_view::value_type Data Member	The value type of the array_view and the bound array.

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.
