Detailed Description

IWeightsData represents a binary buffer provided by IWeightsLoader.

Member Function Documentation

◆ data()

virtual const void* nvneural::IWeightsData::data ( ) const
pure virtualnoexcept

Returns a pointer to the first element of the weights buffer.

The address space for this pointer depends on the backend:

  • Cpu: Pointer is in CPU memory.
  • Cuda: Pointer is a CUdeviceptr.
