Software Communication Interfaces

Detailed Description

The NVIDIA^® Software Communication Interfaces (NvSci) libraries serve two primary purposes:

• They allow resources to be allocated up front, with access restrictions defined by the application(s), and with details of their overall requirements well understood. This is vital for safety-critical systems which must ensure availability of resources and proper encapsulation of information.
• They allow resources to be exchanged between libraries which otherwise do not have knowledge of each other.

For additional information, see the "NvStreams" chapter of the Development Guide.
