Detailed Description

This section describes the stream management functions of HIP runtime API. The following Stream APIs are not (yet) supported in HIP:

hipStreamAttachMemAsync is a nop

Typedef Documentation

◆ hipStreamCallback_t

typedef void(* hipStreamCallback_t) (hipStream_t stream, hipError_t status, void *userData)

Stream CallBack struct

Function Documentation

◆ hipDeviceGetStreamPriorityRange()

hipError_t hipDeviceGetStreamPriorityRange	(	int *	leastPriority,
		int *	greatestPriority
	)

Returns numerical values that correspond to the least and greatest stream priority.

Parameters

[in,out]	leastPriority	pointer in which value corresponding to least priority is returned.
[in,out]	greatestPriority	pointer in which value corresponding to greatest priority is returned.

Returns in *leastPriority and *greatestPriority the numerical values that correspond to the least and greatest stream priority 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 to within the valid range.

◆ hipExtStreamCreateWithCUMask()

hipError_t hipExtStreamCreateWithCUMask	(	hipStream_t *	stream,
		uint32_t	cuMaskSize,
		const uint32_t *	cuMask
	)

Create an asynchronous stream with the specified CU mask.

Parameters

[in,out]	stream	Pointer to new stream
[in]	cuMaskSize	Size of CU mask bit array passed in.
[in]	cuMask	Bit-vector representing the CU mask. Each active bit represents using one CU. The first 32 bits represent the first 32 CUs, and so on. If its size is greater than physical CU number (i.e., multiProcessorCount member of hipDeviceProp_t), the extra elements are ignored. It is user's responsibility to make sure the input is meaningful.

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidHandle, hipErrorInvalidValue

Create a new asynchronous stream with the specified CU mask. stream returns an opaque handle that can be used to reference the newly created stream in subsequent hipStream* commands. The stream is allocated on the heap and will remain allocated even if the handle goes out-of-scope. To release the memory used by the stream, application must call hipStreamDestroy.

◆ hipExtStreamGetCUMask()

hipError_t hipExtStreamGetCUMask	(	hipStream_t	stream,
		uint32_t	cuMaskSize,
		uint32_t *	cuMask
	)

Get CU mask associated with an asynchronous stream.

Parameters

[in]	stream	stream to be queried
[in]	cuMaskSize	number of the block of memories (uint32_t *) allocated by user
[out]	cuMask	Pointer to a pre-allocated block of memories (uint32_t *) in which the stream's CU mask is returned. The CU mask is returned in a chunck of 32 bits where each active bit represents one active CU

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidHandle, hipErrorInvalidValue

◆ hipStreamAddCallback()

hipError_t hipStreamAddCallback	(	hipStream_t	stream,
		hipStreamCallback_t	callback,
		void *	userData,
		unsigned int	flags
	)

Adds a callback to be called on the host after all currently enqueued items in the stream have completed. For each hipStreamAddCallback call, a callback will be executed exactly once. The callback will block later work in the stream until it is finished.

Parameters

[in]	stream	- Stream to add callback to
[in]	callback	- The function to call once preceding stream operations are complete
[in]	userData	- User specified data to be passed to the callback function
[in]	flags	- Reserved for future use, must be 0

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidHandle, hipErrorNotSupported

Parameters

[in,out] stream Valid pointer to hipStream_t. This function writes the memory with the newly created stream.

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidValue

Create a new asynchronous stream. stream returns an opaque handle that can be used to reference the newly created stream in subsequent hipStream* commands. The stream is allocated on the heap and will remain allocated even if the handle goes out-of-scope. To release the memory used by the stream, applicaiton must call hipStreamDestroy.

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidValue

Parameters

[in,out]	stream	Pointer to new stream
[in]	flags	to control stream creation.

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidValue

Create a new asynchronous stream. stream returns an opaque handle that can be used to reference the newly created stream in subsequent hipStream* commands. The stream is allocated on the heap and will remain allocated even if the handle goes out-of-scope. To release the memory used by the stream, applicaiton must call hipStreamDestroy. Flags controls behavior of the stream. See hipStreamDefault, hipStreamNonBlocking.

◆ hipStreamCreateWithPriority()

hipError_t hipStreamCreateWithPriority	(	hipStream_t *	stream,

		int	priority
	)

Parameters

[in,out]	stream	Pointer to new stream
[in]	flags	to control stream creation.
[in]	priority	of the stream. Lower numbers represent higher priorities.

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidValue

Create a new asynchronous stream with the specified priority. stream returns an opaque handle that can be used to reference the newly created stream in subsequent hipStream* commands. The stream is allocated on the heap and will remain allocated even if the handle goes out-of-scope. To release the memory used by the stream, applicaiton must call hipStreamDestroy. Flags controls behavior of the stream. See hipStreamDefault, hipStreamNonBlocking.

◆ hipStreamDestroy()

hipError_t hipStreamDestroy ( hipStream_t stream )

Destroys the specified stream.

Parameters

[in] stream stream identifier.

Returns: hipSuccess hipErrorInvalidHandle

Destroys the specified stream.

If commands are still executing on the specified stream, some may complete execution before the queue is deleted.

The queue may be destroyed while some commands are still inflight, or may wait for all commands queued to the stream before destroying it.

◆ hipStreamGetFlags()

hipError_t hipStreamGetFlags	(	hipStream_t	stream,
		unsigned int *	flags
	)

Return flags associated with this stream.

Parameters

[in]	stream	stream to be queried
[in,out]	flags	Pointer to an unsigned integer in which the stream's flags are returned

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidValue, hipErrorInvalidHandle; hipSuccess hipErrorInvalidValue hipErrorInvalidHandle

See also: hipStreamCreateWithFlags

◆ hipStreamGetPriority()

hipError_t hipStreamGetPriority	(	hipStream_t	stream,
		int *	priority
	)

Query the priority of a stream.

Parameters

[in]	stream	stream to be queried
[in,out]	priority	Pointer to an unsigned integer in which the stream's priority is returned

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidValue, hipErrorInvalidHandle; hipSuccess hipErrorInvalidValue hipErrorInvalidHandle

Query the priority of a stream. The priority is returned in in priority.

See also: hipStreamCreateWithFlags

◆ hipStreamQuery()

hipError_t hipStreamQuery ( hipStream_t stream )

Return hipSuccess if all of the operations in the specified stream have completed, or hipErrorNotReady if not.

Parameters

[in] stream stream to query

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorNotReady, hipErrorInvalidHandle

This is thread-safe and returns a snapshot of the current state of the queue. However, if other host threads are sending work to the stream, the status may change immediately after the function is called. It is typically used for debug.

◆ hipStreamSynchronize()

hipError_t hipStreamSynchronize ( hipStream_t stream )

Wait for all commands in stream to complete.

Parameters

[in] stream stream identifier.

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidHandle

This command is host-synchronous : the host will block until the specified stream is empty.

This command follows standard null-stream semantics. Specifically, specifying the null stream will cause the command to wait for other streams on the same device to complete all pending operations.

This command honors the hipDeviceLaunchBlocking flag, which controls whether the wait is active or blocking.

◆ hipStreamWaitEvent()

hipError_t hipStreamWaitEvent	(	hipStream_t	stream,
		hipEvent_t	event,
		unsigned int	flags
	)

Make the specified compute stream wait for an event.

Parameters

[in]	stream	stream to make wait.
[in]	event	event to wait on
[in]	flags	control operation [must be 0]

Returns: hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidHandle

This function inserts a wait operation into the specified stream. All future work submitted to stream will wait until event reports completion before beginning execution.

This function only waits for commands in the current stream to complete. Notably,, this function does not impliciy wait for commands in the default stream to complete, even if the specified stream is created with hipStreamNonBlocking = 0.
