Function Documentation

CUresult cuEventCreate (CUevent * phEvent, unsigned int Flags)

Creates an event *phEvent with the flags specified via Flags. Valid flags include:

*

CU_EVENT_DEFAULT: Default event creation flag.

*

CU_EVENT_BLOCKING_SYNC: Specifies that the created event should use blocking synchronization. A CPU thread that uses cuEventSynchronize() to wait on an event created with this flag will block until the event has actually been recorded.

*

CU_EVENT_DISABLE_TIMING: Specifies that the created event does not need to record timing data. Events created with this flag specified and the CU_EVENT_BLOCKING_SYNC flag not specified will provide the best performance when used with cuStreamWaitEvent() and cuEventQuery().

*

CU_EVENT_INTERPROCESS: Specifies that the created event may be used as an interprocess event by cuIpcGetEventHandle(). CU_EVENT_INTERPROCESS must be specified along with CU_EVENT_DISABLE_TIMING.

Parameters:

phEvent - Returns newly created event
Flags - Event creation flags

Returns:

CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_DEINITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE, CUDA_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY

Note:

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

CUresult cuEventDestroy (CUevent hEvent)

Destroys the event specified by hEvent.

In case hEvent has been recorded but has not yet been completed when cuEventDestroy() is called, the function will return immediately and the resources associated with hEvent will be released automatically once the device has completed hEvent.

Parameters:

hEvent - Event to destroy

Returns:

CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_DEINITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

Note:

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

cuEventCreate, cuEventRecord, cuEventQuery, cuEventSynchronize, cuEventElapsedTime

CUresult cuEventElapsedTime (float * pMilliseconds, CUevent hStart, CUevent hEnd)

Computes the elapsed time between two events (in milliseconds with a resolution of around 0.5 microseconds).

If either event was last recorded in a non-NULL stream, the resulting time may be greater than expected (even if both used the same stream handle). This happens because the cuEventRecord() operation takes place asynchronously and there is no guarantee that the measured latency is actually just between the two events. Any number of other different stream operations could execute in between the two measured events, thus altering the timing in a significant way.

If cuEventRecord() has not been called on either event then CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE is returned. If cuEventRecord() has been called on both events but one or both of them has not yet been completed (that is, cuEventQuery() would return CUDA_ERROR_NOT_READY on at least one of the events), CUDA_ERROR_NOT_READY is returned. If either event was created with the CU_EVENT_DISABLE_TIMING flag, then this function will return CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE.

Parameters:

pMilliseconds - Time between hStart and hEnd in ms
hStart - Starting event
hEnd - Ending event

Returns:

CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_DEINITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_READY

Note:

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

cuEventCreate, cuEventRecord, cuEventQuery, cuEventSynchronize, cuEventDestroy

CUresult cuEventQuery (CUevent hEvent)

Query the status of all device work preceding the most recent call to cuEventRecord() (in the appropriate compute streams, as specified by the arguments to cuEventRecord()).

If this work has successfully been completed by the device, or if cuEventRecord() has not been called on hEvent, then CUDA_SUCCESS is returned. If this work has not yet been completed by the device then CUDA_ERROR_NOT_READY is returned.

For the purposes of Unified Memory, a return value of CUDA_SUCCESS is equivalent to having called cuEventSynchronize().

Parameters:

hEvent - Event to query

Returns:

CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_DEINITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_READY

Note:

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

CUresult cuEventRecord (CUevent hEvent, CUstream hStream)

Records an event. See note on NULL stream behavior. Since operation is asynchronous, cuEventQuery or cuEventSynchronize() must be used to determine when the event has actually been recorded.

If cuEventRecord() has previously been called on hEvent, then this call will overwrite any existing state in hEvent. Any subsequent calls which examine the status of hEvent will only examine the completion of this most recent call to cuEventRecord().

It is necessary that hEvent and hStream be created on the same context.

Parameters:

hEvent - Event to record
hStream - Stream to record event for

Returns:

CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_DEINITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE

Note:

This function uses standard semantics.

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

See also:

cuEventCreate, cuEventQuery, cuEventSynchronize, cuStreamWaitEvent, cuEventDestroy, cuEventElapsedTime

CUresult cuEventSynchronize (CUevent hEvent)

Wait until the completion of all device work preceding the most recent call to cuEventRecord() (in the appropriate compute streams, as specified by the arguments to cuEventRecord()).

If cuEventRecord() has not been called on hEvent, CUDA_SUCCESS is returned immediately.

Waiting for an event that was created with the CU_EVENT_BLOCKING_SYNC flag will cause the calling CPU thread to block until the event has been completed by the device. If the CU_EVENT_BLOCKING_SYNC flag has not been set, then the CPU thread will busy-wait until the event has been completed by the device.

Parameters:

hEvent - Event to wait for

Returns:

CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_DEINITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

Note:

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

CUresult cuStreamBatchMem[(CUstream stream, unsigned int count, CUstreamBatchMemOpParams * paramArray, unsigned int flags)]

This is a batch version of cuStreamWaitValue32() and cuStreamWriteValue32(). Batching operations may avoid some performance overhead in both the API call and the device execution versus adding them to the stream in separate API calls. The operations are enqueued in the order they appear in the array.

See CUstreamBatchMemOpType for the full set of supported operations, and cuStreamWaitValue32() and cuStreamWriteValue32() for details of specific operations.

On Windows, the device must be using TCC, or this call is not supported. See cuDeviceGetAttribute().

Parameters:

stream The stream to enqueue the operations in.
count The number of operations in the array. Must be less than 256.
paramArray The types and parameters of the individual operations.
flags Reserved for future expansion; must be 0.

Returns:

CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

Note:

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

cuStreamWaitValue32, cuStreamWriteValue32, cuMemHostRegister

CUresult cuStreamWaitValue32 (CUstream stream, CUdeviceptr addr, cuuint32_t value, unsigned int flags)

Enqueues a synchronization of the stream on the given memory location. Work ordered after the operation will block until the given condition on the memory is satisfied. By default, the condition is to wait for (int32_t)(*addr - value) >= 0, a cyclic greater-or-equal. Other condition types can be specified via flags.

If the memory was registered via cuMemHostRegister(), the device pointer should be obtained with cuMemHostGetDevicePointer(). This function cannot be used with managed memory (cuMemAllocManaged).

On Windows, the device must be using TCC, or the operation is not supported. See cuDeviceGetAttributes().

Parameters:

stream The stream to synchronize on the memory location.
addr The memory location to wait on.
value The value to compare with the memory location.
flags See CUstreamWaitValue_flags.

Returns:

CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

Note:

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

See also:

cuStreamWriteValue32, cuStreamBatchMemOp, cuMemHostRegister, cuStreamWaitEvent

CUresult cuStreamWriteValue32 (CUstream stream, CUdeviceptr addr, cuuint32_t value, unsigned int flags)

Write a value to memory. Unless the CU_STREAM_WRITE_VALUE_NO_MEMORY_BARRIER flag is passed, the write is preceded by a system-wide memory fence, equivalent to a __threadfence_system() but scoped to the stream rather than a CUDA thread.

If the memory was registered via cuMemHostRegister(), the device pointer should be obtained with cuMemHostGetDevicePointer(). This function cannot be used with managed memory (cuMemAllocManaged).

On Windows, the device must be using TCC, or the operation is not supported. See cuDeviceGetAttribute().

Parameters:

stream The stream to do the write in.
addr The device address to write to.
value The value to write.
flags See CUstreamWriteValue_flags.

Returns:

CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

Note:

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
