A group of kernels that are executed together with one execution call as if they were a single kernel
In addition to kernels, a script group may contain invocable functions as well. A script group may take inputs and generate outputs, which are consumed and produced by its member kernels. Inside a script group, outputs from one kernel can be passed to another kernel as inputs. The API disallows cyclic dependencies among kernels in a script group, effectively making it a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of kernels.
Grouping kernels together allows for more efficient execution. For example, runtime and compiler optimization can be applied to reduce computation and communication overhead, and to make better use of the CPU and the GPU.

The builder class for creating script groups
A script group is created using closures (see class |

ScriptGroup.Closure
An opaque class for closures A closure represents a function call to a kernel or invocable function, combined with arguments and values for global variables. |

ScriptGroup.Future
An opaque class for futures A future represents an output of a closure, either the return value of the function, or the value of a global variable written by the function. |

void execute ()
This method was deprecated
in API level 23.
Use execute() instead.
Execute the ScriptGroup. This will run all the kernels in the ScriptGroup. No internal connection results will be visible after execution of the ScriptGroup.
Object[] execute (Object... inputs)
Executes a script group
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
inputs |
Object:
Values for inputs to the script group, in the order as the
inputs are added via addInput(). |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Object[] |
Outputs of the script group as an array of objects, in the order
as futures are passed to create(String, ScriptGroup.Future...).
|
void setInput (Script.KernelID s, Allocation a)
This method was deprecated
in API level 23.
Set arguments to execute(Object) instead.
Sets an input of the ScriptGroup. This specifies an Allocation to be used for kernels that require an input Allocation provided from outside of the ScriptGroup.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
s |
Script.KernelID:
The ID of the kernel where the allocation should be
connected. |
a |
Allocation:
The allocation to connect.
|
void setOutput (Script.KernelID s, Allocation a)
This method was deprecated
in API level 23.
Use return value of execute(Object) instead.
Sets an output of the ScriptGroup. This specifies an Allocation to be used for the kernels that require an output Allocation visible after the ScriptGroup is executed.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
s |
Script.KernelID:
The ID of the kernel where the allocation should be
connected. |
a |
Allocation:
The allocation to connect.
