See also

◆ hipHostMalloc()

hipError_t hipHostMalloc ( void **  ptr,
size_t  size,
unsigned int  flags 
)

Allocates device accessible page locked (pinned) host memory.

This API allocates pinned host memory which is mapped into the address space of all GPUs in the system, the memory can be accessed directly by the GPU device, and can be read or written with much higher bandwidth than pageable memory obtained with functions such as malloc().

Using the pinned host memory, applications can implement faster data transfers for HostToDevice and DeviceToHost. The runtime tracks the hipHostMalloc allocations and can avoid some of the setup required for regular unpinned memory.

When the memory accesses are infrequent, zero-copy memory can be a good choice, for coherent allocation. GPU can directly access the host memory over the CPU/GPU interconnect, without need to copy the data.

Currently the allocation granularity is 4KB for the API.

Developers need to choose proper allocation flag with consideration of synchronization.

Parameters
[out]ptrPointer to the allocated host pinned memory
[in]sizeRequested memory size in bytes If size is 0, no memory is allocated, *ptr returns nullptr, and hipSuccess is returned.
[in]flagsType of host memory allocation. See the description of flags in hipSetDeviceFlags.

If no input for flags, it will be the default pinned memory allocation on the host.

Returns
hipSuccess, hipErrorOutOfMemory
See also
hipSetDeviceFlags, hipHostFree

◆ hipHostRegister()

hipError_t hipHostRegister ( void *  hostPtr,
size_t  sizeBytes,
unsigned int  flags 
)

Register host memory so it can be accessed from the current device.

Parameters
[out]hostPtrPointer to host memory to be registered.
[in]sizeBytesSize of the host memory
[in]flagsSee below.

Flags:

After registering the memory, use hipHostGetDevicePointer to obtain the mapped device pointer. On many systems, the mapped device pointer will have a different value than the mapped host pointer. Applications must use the device pointer in device code, and the host pointer in host code.

On some systems, registered memory is pinned. On some systems, registered memory may not be actually be pinned but uses OS or hardware facilities to all GPU access to the host memory.

Developers are strongly encouraged to register memory blocks which are aligned to the host cache-line size. (typically 64-bytes but can be obtains from the CPUID instruction).

If registering non-aligned pointers, the application must take care when register pointers from the same cache line on different devices. HIP's coarse-grained synchronization model does not guarantee correct results if different devices write to different parts of the same cache block - typically one of the writes will "win" and overwrite data from the other registered memory region.

◆ hipMemcpy()

hipError_t hipMemcpy ( void *  dst,

size_t  sizeBytes,
hipMemcpyKind  kind 
)

Copy data from src to dst.

It supports memory from host to device, device to host, device to device and host to host The src and dst must not overlap.

For hipMemcpy, the copy is always performed by the current device (set by hipSetDevice). For multi-gpu or peer-to-peer configurations, it is recommended to set the current device to the device where the src data is physically located. For optimal peer-to-peer copies, the copy device must be able to access the src and dst pointers (by calling hipDeviceEnablePeerAccess with copy agent as the current device and src/dest as the peerDevice argument. if this is not done, the hipMemcpy will still work, but will perform the copy using a staging buffer on the host. Calling hipMemcpy with dst and src pointers that do not match the hipMemcpyKind results in undefined behavior.

Parameters
[out]dstData being copy to

Warning
If host or dest are not pinned, the memory copy will be performed synchronously. For best performance, use hipHostMalloc to allocate host memory that is transferred asynchronously.
on HCC hipMemcpyAsync does not support overlapped H2D and D2H copies. For hipMemcpy, the copy is always performed by the device associated with the specified stream.

For multi-gpu or peer-to-peer configurations, it is recommended to use a stream which is a attached to the device where the src data is physically located. For optimal peer-to-peer copies, the copy device must be able to access the src and dst pointers (by calling hipDeviceEnablePeerAccess with copy agent as the current device and src/dest as the peerDevice argument. if this is not done, the hipMemcpy will still work, but will perform the copy using a staging buffer on the host.

◆ hipMemGetInfo()

hipError_t hipMemGetInfo ( size_t *  free,

Query memory info.

On ROCM, this function gets the actual free memory left on the current device, so supports the cases while running multi-workload (such as multiple processes, multiple threads, and multiple GPUs).

Warning
On Windows, the free memory only accounts for memory allocated by this process and may be optimistic.
Parameters
[out]freeReturns free memory on the current device in bytes
[out]totalReturns total allocatable memory on the current device in bytes
Returns
hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidDevice, hipErrorInvalidValue

[out]sizeReturns the allocated memory size in bytes
Returns
hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidValue

int  value,
size_t  sizeBytes,

◆ hipPointerGetAttributes()

hipError_t hipPointerGetAttributes ( hipPointerAttribute_t attributes,
const void *  ptr 
)

Returns attributes for the specified pointer.

Parameters
[out]attributesattributes for the specified pointer
[in]ptrpointer to get attributes for

The output parameter 'attributes' has a member named 'type' that describes what memory the pointer is associated with, such as device memory, host memory, managed memory, and others. Otherwise, the API cannot handle the pointer and returns hipErrorInvalidValue.

Note
The unrecognized memory type is unsupported to keep the HIP functionality backward compatibility due to hipMemoryType enum values.
Returns
hipSuccess, hipErrorInvalidDevice, hipErrorInvalidValue
Note
The current behavior of this HIP API corresponds to the CUDA API before version 11.0.
