\struct starpu_data_interface_ops
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Per-interface data transfer methods.
\var void (*starpu_data_interface_ops::register_data_handle)(starpu_data_handle_t handle, unsigned home_node, void *data_interface)
    Register an existing interface into a data handle.

\var starpu_ssize_t (*starpu_data_interface_ops::allocate_data_on_node)(void *data_interface, unsigned node)
    Allocate data for the interface on a given node.

\var void (*starpu_data_interface_ops::free_data_on_node)(void *data_interface, unsigned node)
    Free data of the interface on a given node.

\var const struct starpu_data_copy_methods *starpu_data_interface_ops::copy_methods
    ram/cuda/opencl synchronous and asynchronous transfer methods.

\var void *(*starpu_data_interface_ops::handle_to_pointer)(starpu_data_handle_t handle, unsigned node)
    Return the current pointer (if any) for the handle on the given node.

\var size_t (*starpu_data_interface_ops::get_size)(starpu_data_handle_t handle)
    Return an estimation of the size of data, for performance models.

\var uint32_t (*starpu_data_interface_ops::footprint)(starpu_data_handle_t handle)
    Return a 32bit footprint which characterizes the data size.

\var int (*starpu_data_interface_ops::compare)(void *data_interface_a, void *data_interface_b)
    Compare the data size of two interfaces.

\var void (*starpu_data_interface_ops::display)(starpu_data_handle_t handle, FILE *f)
    Dump the sizes of a handle to a file.

\var starpu_ssize_t (*starpu_data_interface_ops::describe)(void *data_interface, char *buf, size_t size)
    Describe the data into a string.

\var enum starpu_data_interface_id starpu_data_interface_ops::interfaceid
    An identifier that is unique to each interface.

\var enum starpu_data_interface_id starpu_data_interface_ops::name
    Name of the interface

\var size_t starpu_data_interface_ops::interface_size
    The size of the interface data descriptor.

\var char starpu_data_interface_ops::is_multiformat
    todo

\var char starpu_data_interface_ops::dontcache
    If set to non-zero, StarPU will never try to reuse an allocated
    buffer for a  different handle. This can be notably useful for
    application-defined interfaces which have a dynamic size, and for
    which it thus does not make sense to reuse the buffer since will
    probably not have the proper size.

\var struct starpu_multiformat_data_interface_ops* (*starpu_data_interface_ops::get_mf_ops)(void *data_interface)
    todo

\var int (*starpu_data_interface_ops::pack_data)(starpu_data_handle_t handle, unsigned node, void **ptr, starpu_ssize_t *count)
    Pack the data handle into a contiguous buffer at the address
    allocated with <c>starpu_malloc_flags(ptr, size, 0)</c> (and thus
    returned in \p ptr) and set the size of the newly created buffer
    in \p count. If \p ptr is <c>NULL</c>, the function should not
    copy the data in the buffer but just set count to the size of the
    buffer which would have been allocated. The special value -1
    indicates the size is yet unknown.

\var int (*starpu_data_interface_ops::unpack_data) (starpu_data_handle_t handle, unsigned node, void *ptr, size_t count)
    Unpack the data handle from the contiguous buffer at the address
    \p ptr of size \p count

\struct starpu_data_copy_methods

@name Registering Data
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces

There are several ways to register a memory region so that it can be
managed by StarPU. The functions below allow the registration of
vectors, 2D matrices, 3D matrices as well as BCSR and CSR sparse
matrices.

\fn void starpu_void_data_register(starpu_data_handle_t *handle)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Register a void interface. There is no data really associated
to that interface, but it may be used as a synchronization mechanism.
It also permits to express an abstract piece of data that is managed
by the application internally: this makes it possible to forbid the
concurrent execution of different tasks accessing the same <c>void</c>
data in read-write concurrently.

\fn void starpu_variable_data_register(starpu_data_handle_t *handle, int home_node, uintptr_t ptr, size_t size)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Register the \p size byte element pointed to by \p ptr, which is
typically a scalar, and initialize \p handle to represent this data item.

Here an example of how to use the function.
\code{.c}
float var = 42.0;
starpu_data_handle_t var_handle;
starpu_variable_data_register(&var_handle, STARPU_MAIN_RAM, (uintptr_t)&var, sizeof(var));
\endcode

\fn void starpu_variable_ptr_register(starpu_data_handle_t handle, unsigned node, uintptr_t ptr, uintptr_t dev_handle, size_t offset)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Register into the \p handle that to store data on node \p node it should use the
buffer located at \p ptr, or device handle \p dev_handle and offset \p offset
(for OpenCL, notably)

\fn void starpu_vector_data_register(starpu_data_handle_t *handle, int home_node, uintptr_t ptr, uint32_t nx, size_t elemsize)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Register the \p nx \p elemsize-byte elements pointed to by \p ptr and initialize \p handle to represent it.

Here an example of how to use the function.
\code{.c}
float vector[NX];
starpu_data_handle_t vector_handle;
starpu_vector_data_register(&vector_handle, STARPU_MAIN_RAM, (uintptr_t)vector, NX, sizeof(vector[0]));
\endcode

\fn void starpu_vector_ptr_register(starpu_data_handle_t handle, unsigned node, uintptr_t ptr, uintptr_t dev_handle, size_t offset)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Register into the \p handle that to store data on node \p node it should use the
buffer located at \p ptr, or device handle \p dev_handle and offset \p offset
(for OpenCL, notably)

\fn void starpu_matrix_data_register(starpu_data_handle_t *handle, int home_node, uintptr_t ptr, uint32_t ld, uint32_t nx, uint32_t ny, size_t elemsize)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Register the \p nx x \p  ny 2D matrix of \p elemsize-byte elements pointed
by \p ptr and initialize \p handle to represent it. \p ld specifies the number
of elements between rows. a value greater than \p nx adds padding, which
can be useful for alignment purposes.

Here an example of how to use the function.
\code{.c}
float *matrix;
starpu_data_handle_t matrix_handle;
matrix = (float*)malloc(width * height * sizeof(float));
starpu_matrix_data_register(&matrix_handle, STARPU_MAIN_RAM, (uintptr_t)matrix, width, width, height, sizeof(float));
\endcode

\fn void starpu_matrix_ptr_register(starpu_data_handle_t handle, unsigned node, uintptr_t ptr, uintptr_t dev_handle, size_t offset, uint32_t ld)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Register into the \p handle that to store data on node \p node it should use the
buffer located at \p ptr, or device handle \p dev_handle and offset \p offset
(for OpenCL, notably), with \p ld elements between rows.

\fn void starpu_block_data_register(starpu_data_handle_t *handle, int home_node, uintptr_t ptr, uint32_t ldy, uint32_t ldz, uint32_t nx, uint32_t ny, uint32_t nz, size_t elemsize)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Register the \p nx x \p ny x \p nz 3D matrix of \p elemsize byte elements
pointed by \p ptr and initialize \p handle to represent it. Again, \p ldy and
\p ldz specify the number of elements between rows and between z planes.

Here an example of how to use the function.
\code{.c}
float *block;
starpu_data_handle_t block_handle;
block = (float*)malloc(nx*ny*nz*sizeof(float));
starpu_block_data_register(&block_handle, STARPU_MAIN_RAM, (uintptr_t)block, nx, nx*ny, nx, ny, nz, sizeof(float));
\endcode

\fn void starpu_block_ptr_register(starpu_data_handle_t handle, unsigned node, uintptr_t ptr, uintptr_t dev_handle, size_t offset, uint32_t ldy, uint32_t ldz)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Register into the \p handle that to store data on node \p node it should use the
buffer located at \p ptr, or device handle \p dev_handle and offset \p offset
(for OpenCL, notably), with \p ldy elements between rows and \p ldz elements between z planes.

\fn void starpu_bcsr_data_register(starpu_data_handle_t *handle, int home_node, uint32_t nnz, uint32_t nrows, uintptr_t nzval, uint32_t *colind, uint32_t *rowptr, uint32_t firstentry, uint32_t r, uint32_t c, size_t elemsize)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
This variant of starpu_data_register() uses the BCSR (Blocked
Compressed Sparse Row Representation) sparse matrix interface.
Register the sparse matrix made of \p nnz non-zero blocks of elements of
size \p elemsize stored in \p nzval and initializes \p handle to represent it.
Blocks have size \p r * \p c. \p nrows is the number of rows (in terms of
blocks), \p colind is an array of nnz elements, colind[i] is the block-column index for block i in \p nzval,
\p rowptr is an array of nrows+1 elements, rowptr[i] is the block-index (in \p nzval) of the first block of row i. By convention, rowptr[nrows] is the number of blocks, this allows an easier access of the matrix's elements for the kernels.
\p firstentry is the index of the first entry of the given arrays
(usually 0 or 1).

Here an example of how to use the function.

Return the number of values registered in the matrix designated
by \p interface.

\def STARPU_COO_GET_ELEMSIZE(interface)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Return the size of the elements registered into the matrix
designated by \p interface.

@name Defining Interface
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces

Applications can provide their own interface as shown in
\ref DefiningANewDataInterface.

\fn uintptr_t starpu_malloc_on_node_flags(unsigned dst_node, size_t size, int flags)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Allocate \p size bytes on node \p dst_node with the given allocation \p flags. This returns 0 if
allocation failed, the allocation method should then return <c>-ENOMEM</c> as
allocated size. Deallocation must be done with starpu_free_on_node().

\fn void starpu_free_on_node_flags(unsigned dst_node, uintptr_t addr, size_t size, int flags)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Free \p addr of \p size bytes on node \p dst_node which was previously allocated
with starpu_malloc_on_node() with the given allocation \p flags.

\fn uintptr_t starpu_malloc_on_node(unsigned dst_node, size_t size)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Allocate \p size bytes on node \p dst_node with the default allocation flags. This returns 0 if
allocation failed, the allocation method should then return <c>-ENOMEM</c> as
allocated size. Deallocation must be done with starpu_free_on_node().

\fn void starpu_free_on_node(unsigned dst_node, uintptr_t addr, size_t size)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Free \p addr of \p size bytes on node \p dst_node which was previously allocated
with starpu_malloc_on_node().

\fn void starpu_malloc_on_node_set_default_flags(unsigned node, int flags)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Define the default flags for allocations performed by starpu_malloc_on_node() and
starpu_free_on_node(). The default is \ref STARPU_MALLOC_PINNED | \ref STARPU_MALLOC_COUNT.

\fn int starpu_interface_copy(uintptr_t src, size_t src_offset, unsigned src_node, uintptr_t dst, size_t dst_offset, unsigned dst_node, size_t size, void *async_data)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Copy \p size bytes from byte offset \p src_offset of \p src on \p src_node
to byte offset \p dst_offset of \p dst on \p dst_node. This is to be used in
the starpu_data_copy_methods::any_to_any copy method, which is provided with \p async_data to
be passed to starpu_interface_copy(). this returns <c>-EAGAIN</c> if the
transfer is still ongoing, or 0 if the transfer is already completed.

\fn uint32_t starpu_hash_crc32c_be_n(const void *input, size_t n, uint32_t inputcrc)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Compute the CRC of a byte buffer seeded by the \p inputcrc
<em>current state</em>. The return value should be considered as the new
<em>current state</em> for future CRC computation. This is used for computing
data size footprint.

\fn uint32_t starpu_hash_crc32c_be(uint32_t input, uint32_t inputcrc)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Compute the CRC of a 32bit number seeded by the \p inputcrc
<em>current state</em>. The return value should be considered as the new
<em>current state</em> for future CRC computation. This is used for computing
data size footprint.

\fn uint32_t starpu_hash_crc32c_string(const char *str, uint32_t inputcrc)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Compute the CRC of a string seeded by the \p inputcrc <em>current
state</em>. The return value should be considered as the new <em>current
state</em> for future CRC computation. This is used for computing data
size footprint.

\fn int starpu_data_interface_get_next_id(void)
\ingroup API_Data_Interfaces
Return the next available id for a newly created data interface
(\ref DefiningANewDataInterface).
