π enum drm_i915_gem_memory_class π
Okay bestie, buckle up β this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is literally enum drm_i915_gem_memory_class(9). It's tiny, it's iconic, and it's about to tell you which kinds of memory your GPU can vibe with. No cap, let's go. β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
enum drm_i915_gem_memory_class β the supported memory classes, periodt.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
enum drm_i915_gem_memory_class {
I915_MEMORY_CLASS_SYSTEM ,
I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE
};
π Constants π
Two constants, both absolute icons π«Ά:
I915_MEMORY_CLASS_SYSTEMβ system memory, the classic, the everyday bestie πI915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICEβ device local-memory, the fancy one that lives right on the GPU π₯
π SEE ALSO π
Like, the whole extended friend group β every single one of them is invited π:
