Function

Function kinds

A function can be one of the following kinds:

• public: a public function can be invoked in python directly

• cuda_kernel: a cuda kernel function

• cuda_internal: a cuda device function that can only be invoked by cuda kernel/device functions

• cpu_kernel: a cpu kernel function

• cpu_internal: a cpu function that will be used by other cpu functions

Only the public functions will be exposed to python. For the modules that defines a kernel function (i.e., cuda_kernel or cpu_kernel), and there is not a public function named launch, then hidet will automatically create a public function named launch that will launch the kernel function.
