NAME
Surface Reference Management -
Functions
cudaError_t cudaBindSurfaceToArray (const struct surfaceReference *surfref, cudaArray_const_t array,
const struct cudaChannelFormatDesc *desc)
Binds an array to a surface.
cudaError_t cudaGetSurfaceReference (const struct surfaceReference **surfref, const void *symbol)
Get the surface reference associated with a symbol.
Detailed Description
\brief surface reference management functions of the CUDA runtime API (cuda_runtime_api.h)
This section describes the low level surface reference management functions of the CUDA runtime
application programming interface.
Some functions have overloaded C++ API template versions documented separately in the C++ API Routines
module.
Function Documentation
cudaError_t cudaBindSurfaceToArray (const struct surfaceReference * surfref, cudaArray_const_t array, const
struct cudaChannelFormatDesc * desc)
Binds the CUDA array array to the surface reference surfref. desc describes how the memory is interpreted
when fetching values from the surface. Any CUDA array previously bound to surfref is unbound.
Parameters:
surfref - Surface to bind
array - Memory array on device
desc - Channel format
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidValue, cudaErrorInvalidSurface
Note:
Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

cudaGetSurfaceReference
cudaError_t cudaGetSurfaceReference (const struct surfaceReference ** surfref, const void * symbol)
Returns in *surfref the structure associated to the surface reference defined by symbol symbol.
Parameters:
surfref - Surface reference associated with symbol
symbol - Surface to get reference for
Returns:
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidSurface
Note:
Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
Use of a string naming a variable as the symbol parameter was removed in CUDA 5.0.
