◆ 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]	ptr	Pointer to the allocated host pinned memory
[in]	size	Requested memory size in bytes If size is 0, no memory is allocated, *ptr returns nullptr, and hipSuccess is returned.
[in]	flags	Type 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()

Parameters

[out]	hostPtr	Pointer to host memory to be registered.

[in]	flags	See below.

Flags:

hipHostRegisterDefault Memory is Mapped and Portable
hipHostRegisterPortable Memory is considered registered by all contexts. HIP only supports one context so this is always assumed true.
hipHostRegisterMapped Map the allocation into the address space for the current device. The device pointer can be obtained with hipHostGetDevicePointer.

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,
		const void *	src,
		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]	dst	Data being copy to
[in]	src	Data being copy from
[in]	sizeBytes	Data size in bytes

Copy data from src to dst asynchronously.

Warning: If host or dest are not pinned, the memory copy will be performed synchronously.

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.
