Class FloatArray

java.lang.Object
uk.ac.manchester.tornado.api.types.arrays.TornadoNativeArray

public final class FloatArray extends TornadoNativeArray
FloatArray relies on preview features of the Java platform:
Programs can only use FloatArray when preview features are enabled.
Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.
This class represents an array of floats stored in native memory. The float data is stored in a MemorySegmentPREVIEW, which represents a contiguous region of off-heap memory. The class also encapsulates methods for setting and getting float values, for initializing the float array, and for converting the array to and from different representations.

    • fromSegmentShallow

      public static FloatArray fromSegmentShallow(MemorySegmentPREVIEW segment)
      Creates a new instance of the FloatArray class by wrapping an existing MemorySegmentPREVIEW without copying its contents.
      Parameters:
      segment - The MemorySegmentPREVIEW containing *both* the off-heap float *header* and *data*.
      Returns:
      A new FloatArray instance that wraps the given segment.

    • fromFloatBuffer

      public static FloatArray fromFloatBuffer(FloatBuffer buffer)

      Parameters:
      buffer - The FloatBuffer containing the float data.
      Returns:
      A new FloatArray instance, initialized with the buffer data.

    • toHeapArray

      public float[] toHeapArray()
      Converts the float data from off-heap to on-heap, by copying the values of a FloatArray instance into a new on-heap array.
      Returns:
      A new on-heap float array, initialized with the values stored in the FloatArray instance.

    • set

      value - The float value to store at the specified index.

    • get

      public float get(int index)
      Gets the float value stored at the specified index of the FloatArray instance.
      Parameters:
      index - The index of which to retrieve the float value.
      Returns:
