Detailed Description

       \brief External resource interoperability functions of the CUDA runtime API (cuda_runtime_api.h)

       This section describes the external resource interoperability functions of the CUDA runtime application
       programming interface.

Function Documentation

   cudaError_t cudaDestroyExternalMemory (cudaExternalMemory_t extMem)
       Destroys the specified external memory object. Any existing buffers and CUDA mipmapped arrays mapped onto
       this object must no longer be used and must be explicitly freed using cudaFree and cudaFreeMipmappedArray
       respectively.

       Parameters:
           extMem - External memory object to be destroyed

       Returns:
           cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle

       Note:
           Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

       See also:
           cudaImportExternalMemory cudaExternalMemoryGetMappedBuffer, cudaExternalMemoryGetMappedMipmappedArray

   cudaError_t cudaDestroyExternalSemaphore (cudaExternalSemaphore_t extSem)
       Destroys an external semaphore object and releases any references to the underlying resource. Any
       outstanding signals or waits must have completed before the semaphore is destroyed.

       Parameters:
           extSem - External semaphore to be destroyed

       Returns:
           cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle

       Note:
           Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

   cudaError_t cudaExternalMemoryGetMappedBuffer (void ** devPtr, cudaExternalMemory_t extMem, const struct
       cudaExternalMemoryBufferDesc * bufferDesc)
       Maps a buffer onto an imported memory object and returns a device pointer in devPtr.

       The properties of the buffer being mapped must be described in bufferDesc. The
       cudaExternalMemoryBufferDesc structure is defined as follows:

               typedef struct cudaExternalMemoryBufferDesc_st {
                   unsigned long long offset;
                   unsigned long long size;
                   unsigned int flags;
               } cudaExternalMemoryBufferDesc;

       where cudaExternalMemoryBufferDesc::offset is the offset in the memory object where the buffer's base
       address is. cudaExternalMemoryBufferDesc::size is the size of the buffer.
       cudaExternalMemoryBufferDesc::flags must be zero.

       The offset and size have to be suitably aligned to match the requirements of the external API. Mapping
       two buffers whose ranges overlap may or may not result in the same virtual address being returned for the
       overlapped portion. In such cases, the application must ensure that all accesses to that region from the
       GPU are volatile. Otherwise writes made via one address are not guaranteed to be visible via the other
       address, even if they're issued by the same thread. It is recommended that applications map the combined
       range instead of mapping separate buffers and then apply the appropriate offsets to the returned pointer
       to derive the individual buffers.

       The returned pointer devPtr must be freed using cudaFree.

       Parameters:
           devPtr - Returned device pointer to buffer
           extMem - Handle to external memory object
           bufferDesc - Buffer descriptor

       Returns:
           cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle

       Note:
           Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

   cudaError_t cudaExternalMemoryGetMappedMipmappedArray (cudaMipmappedArray_t * mipmap, cudaExternalMemory_t
       extMem, const struct cudaExternalMemoryMipmappedArrayDesc * mipmapDesc)
       Maps a CUDA mipmapped array onto an external object and returns a handle to it in mipmap.

       The properties of the CUDA mipmapped array being mapped must be described in mipmapDesc. The structure
       cudaExternalMemoryMipmappedArrayDesc is defined as follows:

               typedef struct cudaExternalMemoryMipmappedArrayDesc_st {
                   unsigned long long offset;
                   cudaChannelFormatDesc formatDesc;
                   cudaExtent extent;
                   unsigned int flags;
                   unsigned int numLevels;
               } cudaExternalMemoryMipmappedArrayDesc;

       where cudaExternalMemoryMipmappedArrayDesc::offset is the offset in the memory object where the base
       level of the mipmap chain is. cudaExternalMemoryMipmappedArrayDesc::formatDesc describes the format of
       the data. cudaExternalMemoryMipmappedArrayDesc::extent specifies the dimensions of the base level of the
       mipmap chain. cudaExternalMemoryMipmappedArrayDesc::flags are flags associated with CUDA mipmapped
       arrays. For further details, please refer to the documentation for cudaMalloc3DArray. Note that if the
       mipmapped array is bound as a color target in the graphics API, then the flag cudaArrayColorAttachment
       must be specified in cudaExternalMemoryMipmappedArrayDesc::flags.
       cudaExternalMemoryMipmappedArrayDesc::numLevels specifies the total number of levels in the mipmap chain.

       The returned CUDA mipmapped array must be freed using cudaFreeMipmappedArray.

       Parameters:
           mipmap - Returned CUDA mipmapped array
           extMem - Handle to external memory object
           mipmapDesc - CUDA array descriptor

       Returns:
           cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle

       Note:
           Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

   cudaError_t cudaImportExternalMemory (cudaExternalMemory_t * extMem_out, const struct
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc * memHandleDesc)
       Imports an externally allocated memory object and returns a handle to that in extMem_out.

       The properties of the handle being imported must be described in memHandleDesc. The
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc structure is defined as follows:

               typedef struct cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc_st {
                   cudaExternalMemoryHandleType type;
                   union {
                       int fd;
                       struct {
                           void *handle;
                           const void *name;
                       } win32;
                   } handle;
                   unsigned long long size;
                   unsigned int flags;
               } cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc;

       where cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::type specifies the type of handle being imported.
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleType is defined as:

               typedef enum cudaExternalMemoryHandleType_enum {
                   cudaExternalMemoryHandleTypeOpaqueFd        = 1,
                   cudaExternalMemoryHandleTypeOpaqueWin32     = 2,
                   cudaExternalMemoryHandleTypeOpaqueWin32Kmt  = 3,
                   cudaExternalMemoryHandleTypeD3D12Heap       = 4,
                   cudaExternalMemoryHandleTypeD3D12Resource   = 5
               } cudaExternalMemoryHandleType;

       If cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::type is cudaExternalMemoryHandleTypeOpaqueFd, then
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::fd must be a valid file descriptor referencing a memory object.
       Ownership of the file descriptor is transferred to the CUDA driver when the handle is imported
       successfully. Performing any operations on the file descriptor after it is imported results in undefined
       behavior.

       If cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::type is cudaExternalMemoryHandleTypeOpaqueWin32, then exactly one of
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle and cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::name
       must not be NULL. If cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle is not NULL, then it must
       represent a valid shared NT handle that references a memory object. Ownership of this handle is not
       transferred to CUDA after the import operation, so the application must release the handle using the
       appropriate system call. If cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::name is not NULL, then it must
       point to a NULL-terminated array of UTF-16 characters that refers to a memory object.

       If cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::type is cudaExternalMemoryHandleTypeOpaqueWin32Kmt, then
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle must be non-NULL and
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::name must be NULL. The handle specified must be a globally
       shared KMT handle. This handle does not hold a reference to the underlying object, and thus will be
       invalid when all references to the memory object are destroyed.

       If cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::type is cudaExternalMemoryHandleTypeD3D12Heap, then exactly one of
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle and cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::name
       must not be NULL. If cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle is not NULL, then it must
       represent a valid shared NT handle that is returned by ID3DDevice::CreateSharedHandle when referring to a
       ID3D12Heap object. This handle holds a reference to the underlying object. If
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::name is not NULL, then it must point to a NULL-terminated
       array of UTF-16 characters that refers to a ID3D12Heap object.

       If cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::type is cudaExternalMemoryHandleTypeD3D12Resource, then exactly one of
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle and cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::name
       must not be NULL. If cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle is not NULL, then it must
       represent a valid shared NT handle that is returned by ID3DDevice::CreateSharedHandle when referring to a
       ID3D12Resource object. This handle holds a reference to the underlying object. If
       cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::handle::win32::name is not NULL, then it must point to a NULL-terminated
       array of UTF-16 characters that refers to a ID3D12Resource object.

       The size of the memory object must be specified in cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::size.

       Specifying the flag cudaExternalMemoryDedicated in cudaExternalMemoryHandleDesc::flags indicates that the
       resource is a dedicated resource. The definition of what a dedicated resource is outside the scope of
       this extension.

       Parameters:
           extMem_out - Returned handle to an external memory object
           memHandleDesc - Memory import handle descriptor

       Returns:
           cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle

       Note:
           Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

           If the Vulkan memory imported into CUDA is mapped on the CPU then the application must use
           vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges/vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges as well as appropriate Vulkan pipeline
           barriers to maintain coherence between CPU and GPU. For more information on these APIs, please refer
           to 'Synchronization and Cache Control' chapter from Vulkan specification.

   cudaError_t cudaImportExternalSemaphore (cudaExternalSemaphore_t * extSem_out, const struct
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc * semHandleDesc)
       Imports an externally allocated synchronization object and returns a handle to that in extSem_out.

       The properties of the handle being imported must be described in semHandleDesc. The
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc is defined as follows:

               typedef struct cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc_st {
                   cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleType type;
                   union {
                       int fd;
                       struct {
                           void *handle;
                           const void *name;
                       } win32;
                   } handle;
                   unsigned int flags;
               } cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc;

       where cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::type specifies the type of handle being imported.
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleType is defined as:

               typedef enum cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleType_enum {
                   cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueFd       = 1,
                   cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueWin32    = 2,
                   cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueWin32Kmt = 3,
                   cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeD3D12Fence     = 4
               } cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleType;

       If cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::type is cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueFd, then
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::fd must be a valid file descriptor referencing a synchronization
       object. Ownership of the file descriptor is transferred to the CUDA driver when the handle is imported
       successfully. Performing any operations on the file descriptor after it is imported results in undefined
       behavior.

       If cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::type is cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueWin32, then exactly one
       of cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle and
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::win32::name must not be NULL. If
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle is not NULL, then it must represent a valid shared
       NT handle that references a synchronization object. Ownership of this handle is not transferred to CUDA
       after the import operation, so the application must release the handle using the appropriate system call.
       If cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::win32::name is not NULL, then it must name a valid
       synchronization object.

       If cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::type is cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueWin32Kmt, then
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle must be non-NULL and
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::win32::name must be NULL. The handle specified must be a
       globally shared KMT handle. This handle does not hold a reference to the underlying object, and thus will
       be invalid when all references to the synchronization object are destroyed.

       If cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::type is cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeD3D12Fence, then exactly one
       of cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle and
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::win32::name must not be NULL. If
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::win32::handle is not NULL, then it must represent a valid shared
       NT handle that is returned by ID3DDevice::CreateSharedHandle when referring to a ID3D12Fence object. This
       handle holds a reference to the underlying object. If
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleDesc::handle::win32::name is not NULL, then it must name a valid
       synchronization object that refers to a valid ID3D12Fence object.

       Parameters:
           extSem_out - Returned handle to an external semaphore
           semHandleDesc - Semaphore import handle descriptor

       Returns:
           cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle

       Note:
           Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

       See also:
           cudaDestroyExternalSemaphore, cudaSignalExternalSemaphoresAsync, cudaWaitExternalSemaphoresAsync

   cudaError_t cudaSignalExternalSemaphoresAsync (const cudaExternalSemaphore_t * extSemArray, const struct
       cudaExternalSemaphoreSignalParams * paramsArray, unsigned int numExtSems, cudaStream_t stream = 0)
       Enqueues a signal operation on a set of externally allocated semaphore object in the specified stream.
       The operations will be executed when all prior operations in the stream complete.

       The exact semantics of signaling a semaphore depends on the type of the object.

       If the semaphore object is any one of the following types: cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueFd,
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueWin32, cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueWin32Kmt then signaling
       the semaphore will set it to the signaled state.

       If the semaphore object is of the type cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeD3D12Fence, then the semaphore will
       be set to the value specified in cudaExternalSemaphoreSignalParams::params::fence::value.

       Parameters:
           extSemArray - Set of external semaphores to be signaled
           paramsArray - Array of semaphore parameters
           numExtSems - Number of semaphores to signal
           stream - Stream to enqueue the signal operations in

       Returns:
           cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle

       Note:
           Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

       See also:
           cudaImportExternalSemaphore, cudaDestroyExternalSemaphore, cudaWaitExternalSemaphoresAsync

   cudaError_t cudaWaitExternalSemaphoresAsync (const cudaExternalSemaphore_t * extSemArray, const struct
       cudaExternalSemaphoreWaitParams * paramsArray, unsigned int numExtSems, cudaStream_t stream = 0)
       Enqueues a wait operation on a set of externally allocated semaphore object in the specified stream. The
       operations will be executed when all prior operations in the stream complete.

       The exact semantics of waiting on a semaphore depends on the type of the object.

       If the semaphore object is any one of the following types: cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueFd,
       cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueWin32, cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeOpaqueWin32Kmt then waiting on
       the semaphore will wait until the semaphore reaches the signaled state. The semaphore will then be reset
       to the unsignaled state. Therefore for every signal operation, there can only be one wait operation.

       If the semaphore object is of the type cudaExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeD3D12Fence, then waiting on the
       semaphore will wait until the value of the semaphore is greater than or equal to
       cudaExternalSemaphoreWaitParams::params::fence::value.

       Parameters:
           extSemArray - External semaphores to be waited on
           paramsArray - Array of semaphore parameters
           numExtSems - Number of semaphores to wait on
           stream - Stream to enqueue the wait operations in

       Returns:
           cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle

       Note:
           Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
