\class RooFit::Evaluator
\ingroup Roofitcore
 
Evaluates a RooAbsReal object in other ways than recursive graph
traversal. Currently, it is being used for evaluating a RooAbsReal object and
supplying the value to the minimizer, during a fit. The class scans the
dependencies and schedules the computations in a secure and efficient way. The
computations take place in the RooBatchCompute library and can be carried off
by either the CPU or a CUDA-supporting GPU. The Evaluator class takes care
of data transfers. An instance of this class is created every time
RooAbsPdf::fitTo() is called and gets destroyed when the fitting ends.
