| |
| <dd>(same naming as in CUDA:) the actual device on which the core ray |
| tracer runs on. currently, this is the host PC, but eventually it will |
| be on LRB, and in a different address space, hence the need to |
| differentiate. |
| \n |
| Also see "driver", "app", and read \ref driver_device_app. |

| |
| <dd>(same naming as in CUDA:) the part of the ray tracer that runs on |
| the _host_ (i.e., _not_ on the "device"). can share data with the app |
| (same address space). |
| \n |
| Also see "device", "app", and read \ref driver_device_app. |

| <dt>app</dt> |
| |
| <dd>the actual application written by the user. will use the ray tracer by communicating with the (see:)driver, which in turn will drive the part of the ray tracer that runs on the (see:)host. |
