Detailed Description

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

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]ctxContext to create
[in]flagsContext creation flags
[in]devicedevice handle
Returns
hipSuccess
See also
hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize, hipCtxGetDevice
Warning
: This HIP API is deprecated.

◆ hipCtxDestroy()

hipError_t hipCtxDestroy ( hipCtx_t  ctx)

Destroy a HIP context.

Parameters
[in]ctxContext to destroy
Returns
hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidValue
See also
hipCtxCreate, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent,hipCtxSetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize , hipCtxGetDevice
Warning
: This HIP API is deprecated.

◆ 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]peerCtxPeer context to be disabled
Returns
hipSuccess, hipErrorPeerAccessNotEnabled
See also
hipCtxCreate, hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxSetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize, hipCtxGetDevice
Warning
PeerToPeer support is experimental.
: This HIP API is deprecated.

◆ 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]peerCtxPeer context
[in]flagsflags, need to set as 0
Returns
hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidDevice, hipErrorInvalidValue, hipErrorPeerAccessAlreadyEnabled
See also
hipCtxCreate, hipCtxDestroy, hipCtxGetFlags, hipCtxPopCurrent, hipCtxGetCurrent, hipCtxSetCurrent, hipCtxPushCurrent, hipCtxSetCacheConfig, hipCtxSynchronize, hipCtxGetDevice
Warning
PeerToPeer support is experimental.
: This HIP API is deprecated.

◆ hipCtxGetApiVersion()

hipError_t hipCtxGetApiVersion ( hipCtx_t  ctx,
int *  apiVersion 
)

Returns the approximate HIP api version.

Parameters
[in]ctxContext to check
[out]apiVersionAPI version to get
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)

Get Cache configuration for a specific function.

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