class petsc4py.PETSc.DeviceContext#

Bases: Object

DeviceContext object.

Represents an abstract handle to a device context.

Enumerations

`DeviceJoinMode`	The type of join to perform.
`StreamType`	The type of stream.

Methods Summary

`create`()	Create an empty DeviceContext.
`duplicate`()	Duplicate a the device context.
`fork`(n[, stream_type])	Create multiple device contexts which are all logically dependent on this one.
`getCurrent`()	Return the current device context.
`getDevice`()	Get the `Device` which this instance is attached to.
`getStreamType`()	Return the `StreamType`.
`idle`()	Return whether the underlying stream for the device context is idle.
`join`(join_mode, py_sub_ctxs)	Join a set of device contexts on this one.
`setCurrent`(dctx)	Set the current device context.
`setDevice`(device)	Set the `Device` which this `DeviceContext` is attached to.
`setFromOptions`([comm])	Configure the `DeviceContext` from the options database.
`setStreamType`(stream_type)	Set the `StreamType`.
`setUp`()	Set up the internal data structures for using the device context.
`synchronize`()	Synchronize a device context.
`waitFor`(other)	Make this instance wait for `other`.

Attributes Summary

`current`	The current global device context.
`device`	The device associated to the device context.
`stream_type`	The stream type.
