The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Guidelines for using raw pointers in modern C++ and GPUs
I believe most of these performance portability libraries have associated memory manager projects. For example, RAJA has CHAI. I would use those managed array classes.

Cuda application question
Since the ability to use C++ parallel algorithms on the GPU is a relatively new thing, some applications have used other C++ abstraction libraries instead, such as Kokkos (https://kokkos.org/) and RAJA (https://github.com/LLNL/RAJA). These both have multiple backends that support GPUs and CPUs without needing to change your application code.
