Enums

enum hipdnnPluginUnloadingMode_ext_t#

Specifies the plugin unloading mode for hipDNN.

This enumeration defines when plugins are unloaded from memory:

  • HIPDNN_PLUGIN_UNLOAD_LAZY: Keeps plugins loaded until application exit or when hipdnnSetEnginePluginPaths_ext is called. This avoids expensive plugin reloading when handles are frequently created and destroyed.

  • HIPDNN_PLUGIN_UNLOAD_EAGER: Unloads plugins immediately when all handles are released.

Values:

enumerator HIPDNN_PLUGIN_UNLOAD_LAZY#
enumerator HIPDNN_PLUGIN_UNLOAD_EAGER#

Variables

constexpr hipdnnPluginUnloadingMode_ext_t HIPDNN_DEFAULT_PLUGIN_UNLOADING_MODE = HIPDNN_PLUGIN_UNLOAD_LAZY#
