Detailed Description

This is especially important if an algorithms does not support a certain data type on a certain processing device (e.g., no filter operations on an array of strings on the GPU). On default construction, no constraint is defined.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

hype::core::DeviceConstraint::DeviceConstraint	(	DeviceTypeConstraint	dev_constr = `ANY_DEVICE`,
		ProcessingDeviceMemoryID	pd_mem_constr = `PD_Memory_0`
	)

Parameters:

dev_constr	a device type constraint (e.g., CPU_ONLY or ANY_DEVICE for now restriction)
