Function Documentation

◆ hipCtxCreate()

hipError_t hipCtxCreate ( hipCtx_t ctx,
unsigned int  flags,
hipDevice_t  device 
)

Create a context and set it as current/ default context.

Parameters
[out]ctx
[in]flags
[in]associateddevice handle
Returns
hipSuccess
See also
hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize, hipCtxGetDevice

◆ hipCtxDestroy()

◆ hipCtxDisablePeerAccess()

hipError_t hipCtxDisablePeerAccess ( hipCtx_t  peerCtx)

Disable direct access from current context's virtual address space to memory allocations physically located on a peer context.Disables direct access to memory allocations in a peer context and unregisters any registered allocations.

Returns hipErrorPeerAccessNotEnabled if direct access to memory on peerDevice has not yet been enabled from the current device.

Parameters
[in]peerCtx
Returns
hipSuccess, hipErrorPeerAccessNotEnabled
See also
hipCtxCreate, hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxSetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize, hipCtxGetDevice
Warning
PeerToPeer support is experimental.

◆ hipCtxEnablePeerAccess()

hipError_t hipCtxEnablePeerAccess ( hipCtx_t  peerCtx,
unsigned int  flags 
)

Enables direct access to memory allocations in a peer context.

Memory which already allocated on peer device will be mapped into the address space of the current device. In addition, all future memory allocations on peerDeviceId will be mapped into the address space of the current device when the memory is allocated. The peer memory remains accessible from the current device until a call to hipDeviceDisablePeerAccess or hipDeviceReset.

Parameters
[in]peerCtx
[in]flags
Returns
hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidDevice, hipErrorInvalidValue, hipErrorPeerAccessAlreadyEnabled
See also
hipCtxCreate, hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxSetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize, hipCtxGetDevice
Warning
PeerToPeer support is experimental.

◆ hipCtxGetApiVersion()

hipError_t hipCtxGetApiVersion ( hipCtx_t  ctx,
int *  apiVersion 
)

Returns the approximate HIP api version.

Parameters
[in]ctxContext to check
[out]apiVersion
Returns
hipSuccess
Warning
The HIP feature set does not correspond to an exact CUDA SDK api revision. This function always set *apiVersion to 4 as an approximation though HIP supports some features which were introduced in later CUDA SDK revisions. HIP apps code should not rely on the api revision number here and should use arch feature flags to test device capabilities or conditional compilation.

◆ hipCtxGetCacheConfig()

hipError_t hipCtxGetCacheConfig ( hipFuncCache_t cacheConfig)

Set Cache configuration for a specific function.

Parameters
[out]cacheConfiguration
Returns
hipSuccess
Warning
AMD devices and some Nvidia GPUS do not support reconfigurable cache. This hint is ignored on those architectures.

Parameters
[out]device
Returns
hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidContext
See also
hipCtxCreate, hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize

◆ hipCtxGetFlags()

hipError_t hipCtxGetFlags ( unsigned int *  flags)

◆ hipCtxGetSharedMemConfig()

hipError_t hipCtxGetSharedMemConfig ( hipSharedMemConfig pConfig)

Get Shared memory bank configuration.

Parameters
[out]sharedMemoryConfiguration
Returns
hipSuccess
Warning
AMD devices and some Nvidia GPUS do not support shared cache banking, and the hint is ignored on those architectures.

◆ hipCtxSetCacheConfig()

hipError_t hipCtxSetCacheConfig ( hipFuncCache_t  cacheConfig)

Set L1/Shared cache partition.

Parameters
[in]cacheConfiguration
Returns
hipSuccess
Warning
