__cudart_builtin__ cudaError_t cudaDeviceGetCacheConfig (enum cudaFuncCache * pCacheConfig)

On devices where the L1 cache and shared memory use the same hardware resources, this returns through pCacheConfig the preferred cache configuration for the current device. This is only a preference.

cudaFuncCachePreferL1: prefer larger L1 cache and smaller shared memory

*

cudaFuncCachePreferEqual: prefer equal size L1 cache and shared memory

Parameters:

pCacheConfig - Returned cache configuration

Returns:

__cudart_builtin__ cudaError_t cudaDeviceGetP2PAttribute (int * value, enum cudaDeviceP2PAttr attr, int srcDevice, int dstDevice)

Returns in *value the value of the requested attribute attrib of the link between srcDevice and dstDevice. The supported attributes are:

*

CudaDevP2PAttrPerformanceRank: A relative value indicating the performance of the link between two devices. Lower value means better performance (0 being the value used for most performant link).

*

CudaDevP2PAttrAccessSupported: 1 if peer access is enabled.

*

CudaDevP2PAttrNativeAtomicSupported: 1 if native atomic operations over the link are supported.

Returns cudaErrorInvalidDevice if srcDevice or dstDevice are not valid or if they represent the same device.

Returns cudaErrorInvalidValue if attrib is not valid or if value is a null pointer.

Parameters:

value - Returned value of the requested attribute
attrib - The requested attribute of the link between srcDevice and dstDevice.

Parameters:

pciBusId - Returned identifier string for the device in the following format [domain]:[bus]:[device].[function] where domain, bus, device, and function are all hexadecimal values. pciBusId should be large enough to store 13 characters including the NULL-terminator.
len - Maximum length of string to store in name
device - Device to get identifier string for

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidValue, cudaErrorInvalidDevice

Note:

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

cudaDeviceGetByPCIBusId

__cudart_builtin__ cudaError_t cudaDeviceGetSharedMemConfig (enum cudaSharedMemConfig * pConfig)

This function will return in pConfig the current size of shared memory banks on the current device. On devices with configurable shared memory banks, cudaDeviceSetSharedMemConfig can be used to change this setting, so that all subsequent kernel launches will by default use the new bank size. When cudaDeviceGetSharedMemConfig is called on devices without configurable shared memory, it will return the fixed bank size of the hardware.

The returned bank configurations can be either:

*

cudaSharedMemBankSizeFourByte - shared memory bank width is four bytes.

*

cudaSharedMemBankSizeEightByte - shared memory bank width is eight bytes.

Parameters:

pConfig - Returned cache configuration

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidValue, cudaErrorInitializationError

Note:

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

See also:

cudaDeviceSetCacheConfig, cudaDeviceGetCacheConfig, cudaDeviceSetSharedMemConfig, cudaFuncSetCacheConfig

__cudart_builtin__ cudaError_t cudaDeviceGetStreamPriorityRange (int * leastPriority, int * greatestPriority)

Returns in *leastPriority and *greatestPriority the numerical values that correspond to the least and greatest stream priorities respectively. Stream priorities follow a convention where lower numbers imply greater priorities. The range of meaningful stream priorities is given by [*greatestPriority, *leastPriority]. If the user attempts to create a stream with a priority value that is outside the the meaningful range as specified by this API, the priority is automatically clamped down or up to either *leastPriority or *greatestPriority respectively. See cudaStreamCreateWithPriority for details on creating a priority stream. A NULL may be passed in for *leastPriority or *greatestPriority if the value is not desired.

This function will return '0' in both *leastPriority and *greatestPriority if the current context's device does not support stream priorities (see cudaDeviceGetAttribute).

Parameters:

leastPriority - Pointer to an int in which the numerical value for least stream priority is returned
greatestPriority - Pointer to an int in which the numerical value for greatest stream priority is returned

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidValue

Note:

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

See also:

cudaStreamCreateWithPriority, cudaStreamGetPriority

cudaError_t cudaDeviceReset (void)

Explicitly destroys and cleans up all resources associated with the current device in the current process. Any subsequent API call to this device will reinitialize the device.

Note that this function will reset the device immediately. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the device is not being accessed by any other host threads from the process when this function is called.

Returns:

cudaSuccess

Note:

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

See also:

cudaDeviceSynchronize

cudaError_t cudaDeviceSetCacheConfig (enum cudaFuncCache cacheConfig)

On devices where the L1 cache and shared memory use the same hardware resources, this sets through cacheConfig the preferred cache configuration for the current device. This is only a preference. The runtime will use the requested configuration if possible, but it is free to choose a different configuration if required to execute the function. Any function preference set via cudaFuncSetCacheConfig (C API) or cudaFuncSetCacheConfig (C++ API) will be preferred over this device-wide setting. Setting the device-wide cache configuration to cudaFuncCachePreferNone will cause subsequent kernel launches to prefer to not change the cache configuration unless required to launch the kernel.

This setting does nothing on devices where the size of the L1 cache and shared memory are fixed.

Launching a kernel with a different preference than the most recent preference setting may insert a device-side synchronization point.

The supported cache configurations are:

*

cudaFuncCachePreferNone: no preference for shared memory or L1 (default)

*

cudaFuncCachePreferShared: prefer larger shared memory and smaller L1 cache

*

cudaFuncCachePreferL1: prefer larger L1 cache and smaller shared memory

*

cudaFuncCachePreferEqual: prefer equal size L1 cache and shared memory

Parameters:

cacheConfig - Requested cache configuration

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInitializationError

Note:

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

See also:

cudaDeviceGetCacheConfig, cudaFuncSetCacheConfig (C API), cudaFuncSetCacheConfig (C++ API)

cudaError_t cudaDeviceSetLimit (enum cudaLimit limit, size_t value)

Setting limit to value is a request by the application to update the current limit maintained by the device. The driver is free to modify the requested value to meet h/w requirements (this could be clamping to minimum or maximum values, rounding up to nearest element size, etc). The application can use cudaDeviceGetLimit() to find out exactly what the limit has been set to.

Setting each cudaLimit has its own specific restrictions, so each is discussed here.

*

cudaLimitStackSize controls the stack size in bytes of each GPU thread.

*

cudaLimitPrintfFifoSize controls the size in bytes of the shared FIFO used by the printf() and fprintf() device system calls. Setting cudaLimitPrintfFifoSize must not be performed after launching any kernel that uses the printf() or fprintf() device system calls - in such case cudaErrorInvalidValue will be returned.

*

cudaLimitMallocHeapSize controls the size in bytes of the heap used by the malloc() and free() device system calls. Setting cudaLimitMallocHeapSize must not be performed after launching any kernel that uses the malloc() or free() device system calls - in such case cudaErrorInvalidValue will be returned.

*

cudaLimitDevRuntimeSyncDepth controls the maximum nesting depth of a grid at which a thread can safely call cudaDeviceSynchronize(). Setting this limit must be performed before any launch of a kernel that uses the device runtime and calls cudaDeviceSynchronize() above the default sync depth, two levels of grids. Calls to cudaDeviceSynchronize() will fail with error code cudaErrorSyncDepthExceeded if the limitation is violated. This limit can be set smaller than the default or up the maximum launch depth of 24. When setting this limit, keep in mind that additional levels of sync depth require the runtime to reserve large amounts of device memory which can no longer be used for user allocations. If these reservations of device memory fail, cudaDeviceSetLimit will return cudaErrorMemoryAllocation, and the limit can be reset to a lower value. This limit is only applicable to devices of compute capability 3.5 and higher. Attempting to set this limit on devices of compute capability less than 3.5 will result in the error cudaErrorUnsupportedLimit being returned.

*

cudaLimitDevRuntimePendingLaunchCount controls the maximum number of outstanding device runtime launches that can be made from the current device. A grid is outstanding from the point of launch up until the grid is known to have been completed. Device runtime launches which violate this limitation fail and return cudaErrorLaunchPendingCountExceeded when cudaGetLastError() is called after launch. If more pending launches than the default (2048 launches) are needed for a module using the device runtime, this limit can be increased. Keep in mind that being able to sustain additional pending launches will require the runtime to reserve larger amounts of device memory upfront which can no longer be used for allocations. If these reservations fail, cudaDeviceSetLimit will return cudaErrorMemoryAllocation, and the limit can be reset to a lower value. This limit is only applicable to devices of compute capability 3.5 and higher. Attempting to set this limit on devices of compute capability less than 3.5 will result in the error cudaErrorUnsupportedLimit being returned.

Parameters:

limit - Limit to set
value - Size of limit

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorUnsupportedLimit, cudaErrorInvalidValue, cudaErrorMemoryAllocation

Note:

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

cudaDeviceGetLimit

cudaError_t cudaDeviceSetSharedMemConfig (enum cudaSharedMemConfig config)

On devices with configurable shared memory banks, this function will set the shared memory bank size which is used for all subsequent kernel launches. Any per-function setting of shared memory set via cudaFuncSetSharedMemConfig will override the device wide setting.

Changing the shared memory configuration between launches may introduce a device side synchronization point.

Changing the shared memory bank size will not increase shared memory usage or affect occupancy of kernels, but may have major effects on performance. Larger bank sizes will allow for greater potential bandwidth to shared memory, but will change what kinds of accesses to shared memory will result in bank conflicts.

This function will do nothing on devices with fixed shared memory bank size.

The supported bank configurations are:

*

cudaSharedMemBankSizeDefault: set bank width the device default (currently, four bytes)

*

cudaSharedMemBankSizeFourByte: set shared memory bank width to be four bytes natively.

*

cudaSharedMemBankSizeEightByte: set shared memory bank width to be eight bytes natively.

Parameters:

config - Requested cache configuration

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidValue, cudaErrorInitializationError

Note:

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

cudaDeviceSetCacheConfig, cudaDeviceGetCacheConfig, cudaDeviceGetSharedMemConfig, cudaFuncSetCacheConfig

__cudart_builtin__ cudaError_t cudaDeviceSynchronize (void)

Blocks until the device has completed all preceding requested tasks. cudaDeviceSynchronize() returns an error if one of the preceding tasks has failed. If the cudaDeviceScheduleBlockingSync flag was set for this device, the host thread will block until the device has finished its work.

Returns:

cudaSuccess

Note:

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

cudaDeviceReset

__cudart_builtin__ cudaError_t cudaGetDevice (int * device)

Returns in *device the current device for the calling host thread.

Parameters:

device - Returns the device on which the active host thread executes the device code.

Returns:

cudaSuccess

Note:

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

See also:

cudaGetDeviceCount, cudaSetDevice, cudaGetDeviceProperties, cudaChooseDevice

__cudart_builtin__ cudaError_t cudaGetDeviceCount (int * count)

Returns in *count the number of devices with compute capability greater or equal to 2.0 that are available for execution. If there is no such device then cudaGetDeviceCount() will return cudaErrorNoDevice. If no driver can be loaded to determine if any such devices exist then cudaGetDeviceCount() will return cudaErrorInsufficientDriver.

Parameters:

count - Returns the number of devices with compute capability greater or equal to 2.0

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorNoDevice, cudaErrorInsufficientDriver

Note:

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

See also:

cudaGetDevice, cudaSetDevice, cudaGetDeviceProperties, cudaChooseDevice

cudaError_t cudaGetDeviceFlags (unsigned int * flags)

Returns in flags the flags for the current device. If there is a current device for the calling thread, and the device has been initialized or flags have been set on that device specifically, the flags for the device are returned. If there is no current device, but flags have been set for the thread with cudaSetDeviceFlags, the thread flags are returned. Finally, if there is no current device and no thread flags, the flags for the first device are returned, which may be the default flags. Compare to the behavior of cudaSetDeviceFlags.

Typically, the flags returned should match the behavior that will be seen if the calling thread uses a device after this call, without any change to the flags or current device inbetween by this or another thread. Note that if the device is not initialized, it is possible for another thread to change the flags for the current device before it is initialized. Additionally, when using exclusive mode, if this thread has not requested a specific device, it may use a device other than the first device, contrary to the assumption made by this function.

If a context has been created via the driver API and is current to the calling thread, the flags for that context are always returned.

Flags returned by this function may specifically include cudaDeviceMapHost even though it is not accepted by cudaSetDeviceFlags because it is implicit in runtime API flags. The reason for this is that the current context may have been created via the driver API in which case the flag is not implicit and may be unset.

Parameters:

flags - Pointer to store the device flags

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidDevice

cudaGetDevice, cudaGetDeviceProperties, cudaSetDevice, cudaSetDeviceFlags

cudaError_t cudaIpcCloseMemHandle (void * devPtr)

Unmaps memory returned by cudaIpcOpenMemHandle. The original allocation in the exporting process as well as imported mappings in other processes will be unaffected.

Any resources used to enable peer access will be freed if this is the last mapping using them.

IPC functionality is restricted to devices with support for unified addressing on Linux operating systems.

Parameters:

devPtr - Device pointer returned by cudaIpcOpenMemHandle

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorMapBufferObjectFailed, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle,

See also:

cudaMalloc, cudaFree, cudaIpcGetEventHandle, cudaIpcOpenEventHandle, cudaIpcGetMemHandle, cudaIpcOpenMemHandle,

cudaError_t cudaIpcGetEventHandle (cudaIpcEventHandle_t * handle, cudaEvent_t event)

Takes as input a previously allocated event. This event must have been created with the cudaEventInterprocess and cudaEventDisableTiming flags set. This opaque handle may be copied into other processes and opened with cudaIpcOpenEventHandle to allow efficient hardware synchronization between GPU work in different processes.

After the event has been been opened in the importing process, cudaEventRecord, cudaEventSynchronize, cudaStreamWaitEvent and cudaEventQuery may be used in either process. Performing operations on the imported event after the exported event has been freed with cudaEventDestroy will result in undefined behavior.

IPC functionality is restricted to devices with support for unified addressing on Linux operating systems.

Parameters:

handle - Pointer to a user allocated cudaIpcEventHandle in which to return the opaque event handle
event - Event allocated with cudaEventInterprocess and cudaEventDisableTiming flags.

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle, cudaErrorMemoryAllocation, cudaErrorMapBufferObjectFailed

cudaEventCreate, cudaEventDestroy, cudaEventSynchronize, cudaEventQuery, cudaStreamWaitEvent, cudaIpcOpenEventHandle, cudaIpcGetMemHandle, cudaIpcOpenMemHandle, cudaIpcCloseMemHandle

cudaError_t cudaIpcGetMemHandle (cudaIpcMemHandle_t * handle, void * devPtr)

Takes a pointer to the base of an existing device memory allocation created with cudaMalloc and exports it for use in another process. This is a lightweight operation and may be called multiple times on an allocation without adverse effects.

If a region of memory is freed with cudaFree and a subsequent call to cudaMalloc returns memory with the same device address, cudaIpcGetMemHandle will return a unique handle for the new memory.

IPC functionality is restricted to devices with support for unified addressing on Linux operating systems.

Parameters:

handle - Pointer to user allocated cudaIpcMemHandle to return the handle in.
devPtr - Base pointer to previously allocated device memory

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle, cudaErrorMemoryAllocation, cudaErrorMapBufferObjectFailed,

cudaMalloc, cudaFree, cudaIpcGetEventHandle, cudaIpcOpenEventHandle, cudaIpcOpenMemHandle, cudaIpcCloseMemHandle

cudaError_t cudaIpcOpenEventHandle (cudaEvent_t * event, cudaIpcEventHandle_t handle)

Opens an interprocess event handle exported from another process with cudaIpcGetEventHandle. This function returns a cudaEvent_t that behaves like a locally created event with the cudaEventDisableTiming flag specified. This event must be freed with cudaEventDestroy.

Performing operations on the imported event after the exported event has been freed with cudaEventDestroy will result in undefined behavior.

IPC functionality is restricted to devices with support for unified addressing on Linux operating systems.

Parameters:

event - Returns the imported event
handle - Interprocess handle to open

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorMapBufferObjectFailed, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle

cudaEventCreate, cudaEventDestroy, cudaEventSynchronize, cudaEventQuery, cudaStreamWaitEvent, cudaIpcGetEventHandle, cudaIpcGetMemHandle, cudaIpcOpenMemHandle, cudaIpcCloseMemHandle

cudaError_t cudaIpcOpenMemHandle (void ** devPtr, cudaIpcMemHandle_t handle, unsigned int flags)

Maps memory exported from another process with cudaIpcGetMemHandle into the current device address space. For contexts on different devices cudaIpcOpenMemHandle can attempt to enable peer access between the devices as if the user called cudaDeviceEnablePeerAccess. This behavior is controlled by the cudaIpcMemLazyEnablePeerAccess flag. cudaDeviceCanAccessPeer can determine if a mapping is possible.

Contexts that may open cudaIpcMemHandles are restricted in the following way. cudaIpcMemHandles from each device in a given process may only be opened by one context per device per other process.

Memory returned from cudaIpcOpenMemHandle must be freed with cudaIpcCloseMemHandle.

Calling cudaFree on an exported memory region before calling cudaIpcCloseMemHandle in the importing context will result in undefined behavior.

IPC functionality is restricted to devices with support for unified addressing on Linux operating systems.

Parameters:

devPtr - Returned device pointer
handle - cudaIpcMemHandle to open
flags - Flags for this operation. Must be specified as cudaIpcMemLazyEnablePeerAccess

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorMapBufferObjectFailed, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle, cudaErrorTooManyPeers

Note:

No guarantees are made about the address returned in *devPtr. In particular, multiple processes may not receive the same address for the same handle.

cudaError_t cudaSetDevice (int device)

Sets device as the current device for the calling host thread. Valid device id's are 0 to (cudaGetDeviceCount() - 1).

Any device memory subsequently allocated from this host thread using cudaMalloc(), cudaMallocPitch() or cudaMallocArray() will be physically resident on device. Any host memory allocated from this host thread using cudaMallocHost() or cudaHostAlloc() or cudaHostRegister() will have its lifetime associated with device. Any streams or events created from this host thread will be associated with device. Any kernels launched from this host thread using the <<<>>> operator or cudaLaunchKernel() will be executed on device.

This call may be made from any host thread, to any device, and at any time. This function will do no synchronization with the previous or new device, and should be considered a very low overhead call.

Parameters:

device - Device on which the active host thread should execute the device code.

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidDevice, cudaErrorDeviceAlreadyInUse

Note:

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

cudaGetDeviceCount, cudaGetDevice, cudaGetDeviceProperties, cudaChooseDevice

cudaError_t cudaSetDeviceFlags (unsigned int flags)

Records flags as the flags to use when initializing the current device. If no device has been made current to the calling thread, then flags will be applied to the initialization of any device initialized by the calling host thread, unless that device has had its initialization flags set explicitly by this or any host thread.

If the current device has been set and that device has already been initialized then this call will fail with the error cudaErrorSetOnActiveProcess. In this case it is necessary to reset device using cudaDeviceReset() before the device's initialization flags may be set.

The two LSBs of the flags parameter can be used to control how the CPU thread interacts with the OS scheduler when waiting for results from the device.

*

cudaDeviceScheduleAuto: The default value if the flags parameter is zero, uses a heuristic based on the number of active CUDA contexts in the process C and the number of logical processors in the system P. If C > P, then CUDA will yield to other OS threads when waiting for the device, otherwise CUDA will not yield while waiting for results and actively spin on the processor.

*

cudaDeviceScheduleSpin: Instruct CUDA to actively spin when waiting for results from the device. This can decrease latency when waiting for the device, but may lower the performance of CPU threads if they are performing work in parallel with the CUDA thread.

*

cudaDeviceScheduleYield: Instruct CUDA to yield its thread when waiting for results from the device. This can increase latency when waiting for the device, but can increase the performance of CPU threads performing work in parallel with the device.

*

cudaDeviceScheduleBlockingSync: Instruct CUDA to block the CPU thread on a synchronization primitive when waiting for the device to finish work.

*

cudaDeviceBlockingSync: Instruct CUDA to block the CPU thread on a synchronization primitive when waiting for the device to finish work.

 Deprecated: This flag was deprecated as of CUDA 4.0 and replaced with cudaDeviceScheduleBlockingSync.

*

cudaDeviceMapHost: This flag enables allocating pinned host memory that is accessible to the device. It is implicit for the runtime but may be absent if a context is created using the driver API. If this flag is not set, cudaHostGetDevicePointer() will always return a failure code.

*

cudaDeviceLmemResizeToMax: Instruct CUDA to not reduce local memory after resizing local memory for a kernel. This can prevent thrashing by local memory allocations when launching many kernels with high local memory usage at the cost of potentially increased memory usage.

Parameters:

flags - Parameters for device operation

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidDevice, cudaErrorSetOnActiveProcess

cudaGetDeviceFlags, cudaGetDeviceCount, cudaGetDevice, cudaGetDeviceProperties, cudaSetDevice, cudaSetValidDevices, cudaChooseDevice

cudaError_t cudaSetValidDevices (int * device_arr, int len)

Sets a list of devices for CUDA execution in priority order using device_arr. The parameter len specifies the number of elements in the list. CUDA will try devices from the list sequentially until it finds one that works. If this function is not called, or if it is called with a len of 0, then CUDA will go back to its default behavior of trying devices sequentially from a default list containing all of the available CUDA devices in the system. If a specified device ID in the list does not exist, this function will return cudaErrorInvalidDevice. If len is not 0 and device_arr is NULL or if len exceeds the number of devices in the system, then cudaErrorInvalidValue is returned.

Parameters:

device_arr - List of devices to try
len - Number of devices in specified list

Returns:

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidValue, cudaErrorInvalidDevice

Note:

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