Change ALIGNMENT_TO_HOST_COPY to Alignment::HOST_COPY

API Changes

Removes the ALIGNMENT_TO_HOST_COPY const in favor of Alignment::HOST_COPY.

Footnotes

1. 3 benchmarks were skipped, so the baseline results were used instead. If they were deleted from the codebase, click here and archive them to remove them from the performance reports. ↩

2. No successful run was found on develop (59cf59c) during the generation of this report, so ad46b6c was used instead as the comparison base. There might be some changes unrelated to this pull request in this report. ↩
