Warning

PeerToPeer support is experimental. This section describes the PeerToPeer device memory access functions of HIP runtime API.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ USE_PEER_NON_UNIFIED

#define USE_PEER_NON_UNIFIED   1

Function Documentation

◆ hipDeviceCanAccessPeer()

hipError_t hipDeviceCanAccessPeer	(	int *	canAccessPeer,
		int	deviceId,
		int	peerDeviceId
	)

Determine if a device can access a peer's memory.

Parameters

[out]	canAccessPeer	Returns the peer access capability (0 or 1)
[in]	device	- device from where memory may be accessed.
[in]	peerDevice	- device where memory is physically located

Returns "1" in canAccessPeer if the specified device is capable of directly accessing memory physically located on peerDevice , or "0" if not.

Returns "0" in canAccessPeer if deviceId == peerDeviceId, and both are valid devices : a device is not a peer of itself.

Returns

hipSuccess,

hipErrorInvalidDevice if deviceId or peerDeviceId are not valid devices

◆ hipDeviceDisablePeerAccess()

hipError_t hipDeviceDisablePeerAccess

(

int

peerDeviceId

)

Disable direct access from current device's virtual address space to memory allocations physically located on a peer device.

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

Parameters

[in]

peerDeviceId

Returns

hipSuccess, hipErrorPeerAccessNotEnabled

◆ hipDeviceEnablePeerAccess()

hipError_t hipDeviceEnablePeerAccess	(	int	peerDeviceId,
		unsigned int	flags
	)

Enable direct access from current device's virtual address space to memory allocations physically located on a peer device.

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]	peerDeviceId
[in]	flags

Returns hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidDevice, hipErrorInvalidValue,

Returns

hipErrorPeerAccessAlreadyEnabled if peer access is already enabled for this device.

◆ hipMemGetAddressRange()

hipError_t hipMemGetAddressRange	(	hipDeviceptr_t *	pbase,
		size_t *	psize,
		hipDeviceptr_t	dptr
	)

Get information on memory allocations.

Parameters

[out]	pbase	- BAse pointer address
[out]	psize	- Size of allocation
[in]	dptr-	Device Pointer

Returns

hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidDevicePointer
