Specification-File

The specification-file tells HyCuda what you want to name the generated class, in which namespace you want to embed it, what the type of your input-data is, how you want to allocate memory and most importantly, what your algorithm looks like. It consists of 4 sections, seperated by two consecutive percent-signs (%%):

1. Directives
2. Memory
3. Routines
4. Order of execution

Each of the sections above will now be discussed in more detail. Keywords specific to HyCuda are prefixed by a single percent-sign, in order to be able to distinguish them from C++ keywords. There are two types of comment available in the HyCuda specification-file. Both end-of-line comments (// single-line comment) as C-style comments (/* multi-line comment */) are supported.
