.. contents:: Table of Contents


The storage module of `elsa` is an implementation detail of the `DataContainer` and functionals.
It contains data types for owning and non-owning storage plus a set of algorithms. The storage
module is used as generic implementation module and should be used with some caution. The
implementation is based on the library `thrust` and hence might depend on CUDA internals. Exposing `thrust` to
headers thus might introduce a dependency on the Nvidia compiler. In certain cases, this is not what we
want, hence please be careful when using functionality from this module.

Algorithms
==========

The most important algorithms are reductions and (unary and binary) transformations.

Data Structures
===============

The data structures contain both the `ContiguousStorage` as internal wrapper for the `DataContainer` contents,
as well as the `NdView` as helping wrapper class for constant views on data and faster and cheaper manipulation of the viewing shape.
