Interface ITensorData

Interface for device dependent representation of Tensor data.

Inherited Members
Namespace: Unity.Barracuda
Assembly: solution.dll
Syntax
public interface ITensorData : IDisposable, ITensorDataStatistics, IUniqueResource

Methods

Download(TensorShape)

Returns an array filled with the values of a tensor. Depending on the implementation and underlying device this array might be a copy or direct reference to the tensor values. This is a blocking call, unless data from device was requested via ScheduleAsyncDownload beforehand and has already arrived.

Declaration
float[] Download(TensorShape shape)
Parameters
Type Name Description
TensorShape shape

the TensorShape (and thus length) of the data to copy
Returns
Type Description
float[]

Tensor data as float arrary

Reserve(int)

Reserve uninitialized memory.

Declaration
void Reserve(int count)
Parameters
Type Name Description
int count

element count to reserve

ScheduleAsyncDownload(int)

Schedule an asynchronous download from device memory. count is the number of element to readback.

Declaration
bool ScheduleAsyncDownload(int count)
Parameters
Type Name Description
int count

count of elements to download
Returns
Type Description
bool

false until data from device arrives to CPU and is ready for access

SharedAccess(out int)

Returns an array filled with the values of multiple tensors that share the same tensorData on device. Depending on the implementation and underlying device this array might be a copy or direct reference to tensor values, no conversion from on device memory layout will occur. This is a blocking call, unless data from device was requested via ScheduleAsyncDownload beforehand and has already arrived.

Declaration
BarracudaArray SharedAccess(out int offset)
Parameters
Type Name Description
int offset

This function outputs offset from the beginning of the array to location of values for specific tensor. offset parameters is specified in float elements
Returns
Type Description
BarracudaArray

array filled with the values of multiple tensors that share the same tensorData on device

Upload(float[], TensorShape, int)

Initialize with data. shape is the TensorShape (and thus length) of the data to copy. managedBufferStartIndex is the offset where to start the copy in the data

Declaration
void Upload(float[] data, TensorShape shape, int managedBufferStartIndex = 0)
Parameters
Type Name Description
float[] data

data as float array
TensorShape shape

Tensor shape
int managedBufferStartIndex

managed buffer start index
