/**
 * <p>
 * Memory allocation class for renderscript.  An allocation combines a
 * {@link android.renderscript.Type} with the memory to provide storage for user data and objects.
 * This implies that all memory in Renderscript is typed.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>Allocations are the primary way data moves into and out of scripts. Memory is user
 * synchronized and it's possible for allocations to exist in multiple memory spaces
 * concurrently. Currently those spaces are:</p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Script: accessable by RS scripts.</li>
 * <li>Graphics Texture: accessable as a graphics texture.</li>
 * <li>Graphics Vertex: accessable as graphical vertex data.</li>
 * <li>Graphics Constants: Accessable as constants in user shaders</li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For example, when creating a allocation for a texture, the user can
 * specify its memory spaces as both script and textures. This means that it can both
 * be used as script binding and as a GPU texture for rendering. To maintain
 * synchronization if a script modifies an allocation used by other targets it must
 * call a synchronizing function to push the updates to the memory, otherwise the results
 * are undefined.
 * </p>
 * <p>By default, Android system side updates are always applied to the script accessable
 * memory. If this is not present, they are then applied to the various HW
 * memory types.  A {@link android.renderscript.Allocation#syncAll syncAll()}
 * call is necessary after the script data is updated to
 * keep the other memory spaces in sync.</p>
 *
 * <p>Allocation data is uploaded in one of two primary ways. For simple
 * arrays there are copyFrom() functions that take an array from the control code and
 * copy it to the slave memory store. Both type checked and unchecked copies are provided.
 * The unchecked variants exist to allow apps to copy over arrays of structures from a
 * control language that does not support structures.</p>
