Detailed Description

This section describes the context management functions of HIP runtime API.

Function Documentation

◆ hipDevicePrimaryCtxGetState()

hipError_t hipDevicePrimaryCtxGetState	(	hipDevice_t	dev,
		unsigned int *	flags,
		int *	active
	)

Get the state of the primary context.

Parameters

[in]	Device	to get primary context flags for
[out]	Pointer	to store flags
[out]	Pointer	to store context state; 0 = inactive, 1 = active

Returns: hipSuccess

See also: hipCtxCreate, hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxSetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize, hipCtxGetDevice

◆ hipDevicePrimaryCtxRelease()

hipError_t hipDevicePrimaryCtxRelease ( hipDevice_t dev )

Release the primary context on the GPU.

Parameters

[in] Device which primary context is released

Returns: hipSuccess

See also: hipCtxCreate, hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxSetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize, hipCtxGetDevice

Warning: This function return hipSuccess though doesn't release the primaryCtx by design on HIP/HCC path.

◆ hipDevicePrimaryCtxReset()

hipError_t hipDevicePrimaryCtxReset ( hipDevice_t dev )

Resets the primary context on the GPU.

Parameters

[in] Device which primary context is reset

Returns: hipSuccess

See also: hipCtxCreate, hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxSetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize, hipCtxGetDevice

◆ hipDevicePrimaryCtxRetain()

hipError_t hipDevicePrimaryCtxRetain	(	hipCtx_t *	pctx,
		hipDevice_t	dev
	)

Retain the primary context on the GPU.

Parameters

[out]	Returned	context handle of the new context
[in]	Device	which primary context is released

Returns: hipSuccess

See also: hipCtxCreate, hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxSetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize, hipCtxGetDevice

◆ hipDevicePrimaryCtxSetFlags()

hipError_t hipDevicePrimaryCtxSetFlags	(	hipDevice_t	dev,
		unsigned int	flags
	)

Set flags for the primary context.

Parameters

[in]	Device	for which the primary context flags are set
[in]	New	flags for the device

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorContextAlreadyInUse
