Detailed Description

MFEM backends.

Individual backends will generally implement only a subset of the kernels implemented by the default CPU backend. The goal of the backends is to accelerate data-parallel portions of the code and they can use a device memory space (e.g. GPUs) or share the memory space of the host (OpenMP).

Member Enumeration Documentation

anonymous enum

Additional useful constants. For example, the *_MASK constants can be used with Device::Allows().

Enumerator
NUM_BACKENDS	Number of backends: from (1 << 0) to (1 << (NUM_BACKENDS-1)).

CUDA_MASK	Biwise-OR of all CUDA backends.
OMP_MASK	Biwise-OR of all OpenMP backends.
DEVICE_MASK	Biwise-OR of all device backends.
RAJA_MASK	Biwise-OR of all RAJA backends.
OCCA_MASK	Biwise-OR of all OCCA backends.

enum mfem::Backend::Id

In the documentation below, we use square brackets to indicate the type of the backend: host or device.

Enumerator
CPU	[host] Default CPU backend: sequential execution on each MPI rank.
OMP	[host] OpenMP backend. Enabled when MFEM_USE_OPENMP = YES.
CUDA	[device] CUDA backend. Enabled when MFEM_USE_CUDA = YES.
RAJA_CPU	[host] RAJA CPU backend: sequential execution on each MPI rank. Enabled when MFEM_USE_RAJA = YES.
RAJA_OMP	[host] RAJA OpenMP backend. Enabled when MFEM_USE_RAJA = YES and MFEM_USE_OPENMP = YES.
RAJA_CUDA	[device] RAJA CUDA backend. Enabled when MFEM_USE_RAJA = YES and MFEM_USE_CUDA = YES.
OCCA_CPU	[host] OCCA CPU backend: sequential execution on each MPI rank. Enabled when MFEM_USE_OCCA = YES.
OCCA_OMP	[host] OCCA OpenMP backend. Enabled when MFEM_USE_OCCA = YES.
OCCA_CUDA	[device] OCCA CUDA backend. Enabled when MFEM_USE_OCCA = YES and MFEM_USE_CUDA = YES.
