describes how the memory is interpreted when fetching values from the texture. The offset
parameter is an optional byte offset as with the low-level cudaBindTexture() function. Any
memory previously bound to tex is unbound.
Parameters:
offset - Offset in bytes
tex - Texture to bind
devPtr - Memory area on device
desc - Channel format
size - Size of the memory area pointed to by devPtr
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidValue, cudaErrorInvalidDevicePointer,

template<class T , int dim, enum cudaTextureReadMode readMode> cudaError_t cudaBindTexture2D
(size_t * offset, const struct texture< T, dim, readMode > & tex, const void * devPtr,
size_t width, size_t height, size_t pitch)
Binds the 2D memory area pointed to by devPtr to the texture reference tex. The size of
the area is constrained by width in texel units, height in texel units, and pitch in byte
units. The channel descriptor is inherited from the texture reference type. Any memory
previously bound to tex is unbound.
Since the hardware enforces an alignment requirement on texture base addresses,
cudaBindTexture2D() returns in *offset a byte offset that must be applied to texture
fetches in order to read from the desired memory. This offset must be divided by the texel
size and passed to kernels that read from the texture so they can be applied to the
tex2D() function. If the device memory pointer was returned from cudaMalloc(), the offset
is guaranteed to be 0 and NULL may be passed as the offset parameter.
Parameters:
offset - Offset in bytes
tex - Texture reference to bind
devPtr - 2D memory area on device
width - Width in texel units
height - Height in texel units
pitch - Pitch in bytes
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidValue, cudaErrorInvalidDevicePointer,
cudaErrorInvalidTexture
Note:
Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous
launches.

cudaError_t cudaEventCreate (cudaEvent_t * event, unsigned int flags)
Creates an event object with the specified flags. Valid flags include:
• cudaEventDefault: Default event creation flag.
• cudaEventBlockingSync: Specifies that event should use blocking synchronization. A host
thread that uses cudaEventSynchronize() to wait on an event created with this flag will
block until the event actually completes.
• cudaEventDisableTiming: Specifies that the created event does not need to record timing
data. Events created with this flag specified and the cudaEventBlockingSync flag not
specified will provide the best performance when used with cudaStreamWaitEvent() and
cudaEventQuery().
Parameters:
event - Newly created event
flags - Flags for new event
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInitializationError, cudaErrorInvalidValue,
cudaErrorLaunchFailure, cudaErrorMemoryAllocation

template<class T > cudaError_t cudaFuncGetAttributes (struct cudaFuncAttributes * attr, T *
entry)
This function obtains the attributes of a function specified via entry. The parameter
entry must be a pointer to a function that executes on the device. The parameter specified
by entry must be declared as a __global__ function. The fetched attributes are placed in
attr. If the specified function does not exist, then cudaErrorInvalidDeviceFunction is
returned.
Note that some function attributes such as maxThreadsPerBlock may vary based on the device
that is currently being used.
Parameters:
attr - Return pointer to function's attributes
entry - Function to get attributes of
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInitializationError, cudaErrorInvalidDeviceFunction

API), cudaSetDoubleForDevice, cudaSetDoubleForHost, cudaSetupArgument (C++ API)
template<class T > cudaError_t cudaFuncSetCacheConfig (T * func, enum cudaFuncCache
cacheConfig)
On devices where the L1 cache and shared memory use the same hardware resources, this sets
through cacheConfig the preferred cache configuration for the function specified via func.
This is only a preference. The runtime will use the requested configuration if possible,
but it is free to choose a different configuration if required to execute func.
func must be a pointer to a function that executes on the device. The parameter specified
by func must be declared as a __global__ function. If the specified function does not
exist, then cudaErrorInvalidDeviceFunction is returned.
This setting does nothing on devices where the size of the L1 cache and shared memory are
fixed.
Launching a kernel with a different preference than the most recent preference setting may
insert a device-side synchronization point.
The supported cache configurations are:
• cudaFuncCachePreferNone: no preference for shared memory or L1 (default)
• cudaFuncCachePreferShared: prefer larger shared memory and smaller L1 cache
• cudaFuncCachePreferL1: prefer larger L1 cache and smaller shared memory
Parameters:
func - device function pointer
cacheConfig - Requested cache configuration
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInitializationError, cudaErrorInvalidDeviceFunction

variable that resides in global or constant memory space. If symbol cannot be found, or if
symbol is not declared in the global or constant memory space, *devPtr is unchanged and
the error cudaErrorInvalidSymbol is returned.
Parameters:
devPtr - Return device pointer associated with symbol
symbol - Device symbol reference

template<class T > cudaError_t cudaLaunch (T * func)
Returns in *minGridSize and *blocksize a suggested grid / block size pair that achieves
the best potential occupancy (i.e. the maximum number of active warps with the smallest
number of blocks).
The flags parameter controls how special cases are handled. Valid flags include:
• cudaOccupancyDefault: keeps the default behavior as
cudaOccupancyMaxPotentialBlockSizeVariableSMemWithFlags
• cudaOccupancyDisableCachingOverride: This flag suppresses the default behavior on
platform where global caching affects occupancy. On such platforms, if caching is
enabled, but per-block SM resource usage would result in zero occupancy, the occupancy
calculator will calculate the occupancy as if caching is disabled. Setting this flag
makes the occupancy calculator to return 0 in such cases. More information can be found
about this feature in the 'Unified L1/Texture Cache' section of the Maxwell tuning
guide.
Parameters:
minGridSize - Returned minimum grid size needed to achieve the best potential
occupancy
blockSize - Returned block size
func - Device function symbol
blockSizeToDynamicSMemSize - A unary function / functor that takes block size, and
returns the size, in bytes, of dynamic shared memory needed for a block
blockSizeLimit - The maximum block size func is designed to work with. 0 means no
limit.
flags - Requested behavior for the occupancy calculator
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorCudartUnloading, cudaErrorInitializationError,
cudaErrorInvalidDevice, cudaErrorInvalidDeviceFunction, cudaErrorInvalidValue,
cudaErrorUnknown,

cudaLaunchKernel (C API)
cudaError_t cudaMallocHost (void ** ptr, size_t size, unsigned int flags)
Allocates size bytes of host memory that is page-locked and accessible to the device. The
driver tracks the virtual memory ranges allocated with this function and automatically
accelerates calls to functions such as cudaMemcpy(). Since the memory can be accessed
directly by the device, it can be read or written with much higher bandwidth than pageable
memory obtained with functions such as malloc(). Allocating excessive amounts of pinned
memory may degrade system performance, since it reduces the amount of memory available to
the system for paging. As a result, this function is best used sparingly to allocate
staging areas for data exchange between host and device.
The flags parameter enables different options to be specified that affect the allocation,
as follows.
• cudaHostAllocDefault: This flag's value is defined to be 0.
• cudaHostAllocPortable: The memory returned by this call will be considered as pinned
memory by all CUDA contexts, not just the one that performed the allocation.
• cudaHostAllocMapped: Maps the allocation into the CUDA address space. The device pointer
to the memory may be obtained by calling cudaHostGetDevicePointer().
• cudaHostAllocWriteCombined: Allocates the memory as write-combined (WC). WC memory can
be transferred across the PCI Express bus more quickly on some system configurations,
but cannot be read efficiently by most CPUs. WC memory is a good option for buffers that
will be written by the CPU and read by the device via mapped pinned memory or
host->device transfers.
All of these flags are orthogonal to one another: a developer may allocate memory that is
portable, mapped and/or write-combined with no restrictions.
cudaSetDeviceFlags() must have been called with the cudaDeviceMapHost flag in order for
the cudaHostAllocMapped flag to have any effect.
The cudaHostAllocMapped flag may be specified on CUDA contexts for devices that do not
support mapped pinned memory. The failure is deferred to cudaHostGetDevicePointer()
because the memory may be mapped into other CUDA contexts via the cudaHostAllocPortable
flag.
Memory allocated by this function must be freed with cudaFreeHost().
Parameters:
ptr - Device pointer to allocated memory
size - Requested allocation size in bytes
flags - Requested properties of allocated memory
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorMemoryAllocation
Note:
Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous
launches.

template<class T > cudaError_t cudaMallocManaged (T ** devPtr, size_t size, unsigned int flags
= cudaMemAttachGlobal)
Allocates size bytes of managed memory on the device and returns in *devPtr a pointer to
the allocated memory. If the device doesn't support allocating managed memory,
cudaErrorNotSupported is returned. Support for managed memory can be queried using the
device attribute cudaDevAttrManagedMemory. The allocated memory is suitably aligned for
any kind of variable. The memory is not cleared. If size is 0, cudaMallocManaged returns
cudaErrorInvalidValue. The pointer is valid on the CPU and on all GPUs in the system that
support managed memory. All accesses to this pointer must obey the Unified Memory
programming model.
flags specifies the default stream association for this allocation. flags must be one of
cudaMemAttachGlobal or cudaMemAttachHost. The default value for flags is
cudaMemAttachGlobal. If cudaMemAttachGlobal is specified, then this memory is accessible
from any stream on any device. If cudaMemAttachHost is specified, then the allocation is
created with initial visibility restricted to host access only; an explicit call to
cudaStreamAttachMemAsync will be required to enable access on the device.
If the association is later changed via cudaStreamAttachMemAsync to a single stream, the
default association, as specified during cudaMallocManaged, is restored when that stream
is destroyed. For __managed__ variables, the default association is always
cudaMemAttachGlobal. Note that destroying a stream is an asynchronous operation, and as a
result, the change to default association won't happen until all work in the stream has
completed.
Memory allocated with cudaMallocManaged should be released with cudaFree.
On a multi-GPU system with peer-to-peer support, where multiple GPUs support managed
memory, the physical storage is created on the GPU which is active at the time
cudaMallocManaged is called. All other GPUs will reference the data at reduced bandwidth
via peer mappings over the PCIe bus. The Unified Memory management system does not migrate
memory between GPUs.
On a multi-GPU system where multiple GPUs support managed memory, but not all pairs of
such GPUs have peer-to-peer support between them, the physical storage is created in
'zero-copy' or system memory. All GPUs will reference the data at reduced bandwidth over
the PCIe bus. In these circumstances, use of the environment variable,
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES, is recommended to restrict CUDA to only use those GPUs that have
peer-to-peer support. Alternatively, users can also set CUDA_MANAGED_FORCE_DEVICE_ALLOC to
a non-zero value to force the driver to always use device memory for physical storage.
When this environment variable is set to a non-zero value, all devices used in that
process that support managed memory have to be peer-to-peer compatible with each other.
The error cudaErrorInvalidDevice will be returned if a device that supports managed memory
is used and it is not peer-to-peer compatible with any of the other managed memory
supporting devices that were previously used in that process, even if cudaDeviceReset has
been called on those devices. These environment variables are described in the CUDA
programming guide under the 'CUDA environment variables' section.
Parameters:
devPtr - Pointer to allocated device memory
size - Requested allocation size in bytes
flags - Must be either cudaMemAttachGlobal or cudaMemAttachHost (defaults to
cudaMemAttachGlobal)
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorMemoryAllocation cudaErrorNotSupported cudaErrorInvalidValue

cudaMemcpyFromSymbolAsync() is asynchronous with respect to the host, so the call may
return before the copy is complete. The copy can optionally be associated to a stream by
passing a non-zero stream argument. If kind is cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost and stream is non-
zero, the copy may overlap with operations in other streams.

calculate the occupancy as if caching is disabled. Setting this flag makes the occupancy
calculator to return 0 in such cases. More information can be found about this feature

template<class T > cudaError_t cudaStreamAttachMemAsync (cudaStream_t stream, T * devPtr,
size_t length = 0, unsigned int flags = cudaMemAttachSingle)
Enqueues an operation in stream to specify stream association of length bytes of memory
starting from devPtr. This function is a stream-ordered operation, meaning that it is
dependent on, and will only take effect when, previous work in stream has completed. Any
previous association is automatically replaced.
devPtr must point to an address within managed memory space declared using the __managed__
keyword or allocated with cudaMallocManaged.
length must be zero, to indicate that the entire allocation's stream association is being
changed. Currently, it's not possible to change stream association for a portion of an
allocation. The default value for length is zero.
The stream association is specified using flags which must be one of cudaMemAttachGlobal,
cudaMemAttachHost or cudaMemAttachSingle. The default value for flags is
cudaMemAttachSingle If the cudaMemAttachGlobal flag is specified, the memory can be
accessed by any stream on any device. If the cudaMemAttachHost flag is specified, the
program makes a guarantee that it won't access the memory on the device from any stream.
If the cudaMemAttachSingle flag is specified, the program makes a guarantee that it will
only access the memory on the device from stream. It is illegal to attach singly to the
NULL stream, because the NULL stream is a virtual global stream and not a specific stream.
An error will be returned in this case.
When memory is associated with a single stream, the Unified Memory system will allow CPU
access to this memory region so long as all operations in stream have completed,
regardless of whether other streams are active. In effect, this constrains exclusive
ownership of the managed memory region by an active GPU to per-stream activity instead of
whole-GPU activity.
Accessing memory on the device from streams that are not associated with it will produce
undefined results. No error checking is performed by the Unified Memory system to ensure
that kernels launched into other streams do not access this region.
It is a program's responsibility to order calls to cudaStreamAttachMemAsync via events,
synchronization or other means to ensure legal access to memory at all times. Data
visibility and coherency will be changed appropriately for all kernels which follow a
stream-association change.
If stream is destroyed while data is associated with it, the association is removed and
the association reverts to the default visibility of the allocation as specified at
cudaMallocManaged. For __managed__ variables, the default association is always
cudaMemAttachGlobal. Note that destroying a stream is an asynchronous operation, and as a
result, the change to default association won't happen until all work in the stream has
completed.
Parameters:
stream - Stream in which to enqueue the attach operation
devPtr - Pointer to memory (must be a pointer to managed memory)
length - Length of memory (must be zero, defaults to zero)
flags - Must be one of cudaMemAttachGlobal, cudaMemAttachHost or cudaMemAttachSingle
(defaults to cudaMemAttachSingle)
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorNotReady, cudaErrorInvalidValue cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle

launches.
