Enum DataTransferType

Namespace

DotCompute.Abstractions.Pipelines.Enums

Assembly

DotCompute.Abstractions.dll

Defines the different types of data transfers that can occur during pipeline execution. Each type represents a different data movement pattern with distinct performance characteristics.

public enum DataTransferType

Fields

DeviceToDevice = 2

Data transfer between different memory regions on the same device. Usually faster than host-device transfers but still has performance impact.

DeviceToHost = 1

Data transfer from device (GPU/accelerator) memory to host (CPU) memory. Used for retrieving computation results from accelerator devices.

HostToDevice = 0

Data transfer from host (CPU) memory to device (GPU/accelerator) memory. Typically involves copying data over PCIe or similar interconnects.

PeerToPeer = 3

Data transfer between different devices using peer-to-peer communication. Enables direct device-to-device communication without involving host memory.
