The corresponding "restore" function doesn't really restore anything. You could consider naming it Vec.updateGPUstatus or Vec.GPUGetLatest or something of that sort.

Well, by using "restore" I'm just following standard PETSc naming conventions. You comment also apply to the C API call. Also, I'll not use "GPU", later we will add similar support for OpenCL, and "GPU" is definitely not appropriate for it. -- Lisandro Dalcin ============ Research Scientist Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences & Engineering (CEMSE) Numerical Porous Media Center (NumPor) King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) http://numpor.kaust.edu.sa/ 4700 King Abdullah University of Science and Technology al-Khawarizmi Bldg (Bldg 1), Office # 4332 Thuwal 23955-6900, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia http://www.kaust.edu.sa Office Phone: +966 12 808-0459
