Hi Jeff,

Ok, this is on fairly short notice considering the changes required.

I recommend to start with copying the CUSP sources and migrate it over to VECCUDA by replacing any use of cusp::array1d to a raw CUDA handle. Operations from CUSP should be replaced by CUBLAS calls.

It's hard to imagine any performance benefit from this unless CUSP sucks. What am I missing?

This is not about performance, but about providing the ability for users to 'implant' their own memory buffers. CUSP doesn't allow it (which was the initial point of this thread).

Thanks. Sorry I missed that. Given CPU memcpy is an order of magnitude more bandwidth than PCI offload, I still don't get the point, but I don't need to. Jeff

Best regards, Karli
