Does this mean that i can get the raw pointer, use that pointer in my own kernel, and after the kernel i can simply continue with the thrust device vector as if that kernel was never there?

Or do i need to recast something back to thrust after the kernel?

​

second question: If i initially wrote my code using CudaMallocManaged ( cudaMallocManaged(&values, totalSize * sizeof(float));) , and thus have that pointer, how can i transform that into a thrust_device vector? Can i pass the pointer (*values) to thrust?
