making thrust run boost::geometry code ?

Hi

What is the best way to try running code that utilizes boost::geometry and its associated ::union_ code run on GPU with thrust ?

A sample to merge a test geometry using thrust will be appreciated !

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with that boost module, but I suspect that you'll have problems. Boost doesn't provide gpu-compatible implementations of their algorithms, and since they lack host/device markup they won't be able to be used from device contexts with CUDA compilers.

I don't think this is possible, but I'll leave this open in case someone else has some ideas.

@allisonvacanti thanks for the reply.
Let me know if you can suggest any alternative approaches. My requirement is to merge 2D line strings and polygons.

You might checkout https://github.com/rapidsai/cuspatial, it has some geometry algorithms. @cwharris should be able to answer any questions for you.
