several modules:
-
_Core concepts_.
The main concept used in the TNL is the
`Device`
type which is used in most of
the other parts of the library. For data structures such as
`Array`
it
specifies where the data should be allocated, whereas for algorithms such as
`ParallelFor`
it specifies how the algorithm should be executed.
The main concepts used in TNL are the _memory space_, which represents the
part of memory where given data is allocated, and the _execution model_,
which represents the way how given (typically parallel) algorithm is executed.
For example, data can be allocated in the main system memory, in the GPU
memory, or using the CUDA Unified Memory which can be accessed from the host
as well as from the GPU. On the other hand, algorithms can be executed using
either the host CPU or an accelerator (GPU), and for each there are many ways
to manage parallel execution. The usage of memory spaces is abstracted with
