Detailed Description

Abstract interface for compute device implementations.

Defines the common interface for all compute device types (CPU, CUDA, Metal, ROCm, etc.). Concrete device implementations inherit from this class and are registered with DeviceRegistry for runtime discovery.

This class also serves as the primary factory for DeviceId values via static methods, providing a clean API: Device::Cuda(0), Device::Cpu().

Member Function Documentation

Cpu()

constexpr DeviceId Mila::Dnn::Compute::Device::Cpu ( )

inlinestaticconstexprnoexcept

Create CPU device identifier.

Returns a DeviceId representing the CPU device. CPU is always index 0 (single logical CPU device).

Returns

DeviceId CPU device identifier.

Cuda()

constexpr DeviceId Mila::Dnn::Compute::Device::Cuda ( int index )

inlinestaticconstexprnoexcept

Create CUDA device identifier.

Parameters

index

Zero-based CUDA device index (0, 1, 2, ...).

Returns

DeviceId CUDA device identifier.

getDeviceId()

virtual DeviceId Mila::Dnn::Compute::Device::getDeviceId ( ) const

pure virtual

Gets the device identifier.

Returns

DeviceId The identifier for this device (type + index).

Implemented in Mila::Dnn::Compute::CpuDevice, and Mila::Dnn::Compute::CudaDevice.

getDeviceName()

virtual std::string Mila::Dnn::Compute::Device::getDeviceName ( ) const

pure virtual

Gets the human-readable device name.

Returns

std::string Device name (e.g., "CPU:0", "CUDA:0", "Metal:1").

Implemented in Mila::Dnn::Compute::CpuDevice, and Mila::Dnn::Compute::CudaDevice.

getDeviceType()

virtual constexpr DeviceType Mila::Dnn::Compute::Device::getDeviceType ( ) const

constexprpure virtual

Gets the device type.

Returns

DeviceType The type of this device (Cpu, Cuda, Metal, Rocm).

Implemented in Mila::Dnn::Compute::CpuDevice, and Mila::Dnn::Compute::CudaDevice.

getMemoryInfo()

virtual DeviceMemoryInfo Mila::Dnn::Compute::Device::getMemoryInfo ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Current free and total device memory.

Answers "will this model fit" together with a footprint from Model::getRequiredMemory. Zeroed by default for devices with no distinct memory pool to report; a caller seeing total_bytes == 0 should treat the figure as unavailable rather than as a device with no memory.

NOTE on Windows: WDDM oversubscribes into shared host memory rather than failing, so free_bytes running out does not produce an allocation error – it produces a model that runs pathologically slowly. Callers should warn rather than refuse.

Reimplemented in Mila::Dnn::Compute::CudaDevice.

Metal()

constexpr DeviceId Mila::Dnn::Compute::Device::Metal ( int index )

inlinestaticconstexprnoexcept

Create Metal device identifier.

Parameters

index

Zero-based Metal device index.

Returns

DeviceId Metal device identifier.

Rocm()

constexpr DeviceId Mila::Dnn::Compute::Device::Rocm ( int index )

inlinestaticconstexprnoexcept

Create ROCm device identifier.

Parameters

index

Zero-based ROCm device index.

Returns

DeviceId ROCm device identifier.
