Function Documentation

void viennacl::backend::cuda::memory_copy ( handle_type const &  src_buffer, handle_type &  dst_buffer, vcl_size_t  src_offset, vcl_size_t  dst_offset, vcl_size_t  bytes_to_copy  )

inline

Copies 'bytes_to_copy' bytes from address 'src_buffer + src_offset' on the CUDA device to memory starting at address 'dst_buffer + dst_offset' on the same CUDA device.

Parameters

src_buffer	A smart pointer to the begin of an allocated CUDA buffer
dst_buffer	A smart pointer to the end of an allocated CUDA buffer
src_offset	Offset of the first byte to be written from the address given by 'src_buffer' (in bytes)
dst_offset	Offset of the first byte to be written to the address given by 'dst_buffer' (in bytes)
bytes_to_copy	Number of bytes to be copied

Definition at line 130 of file cuda.hpp.

handle_type viennacl::backend::cuda::memory_create ( vcl_size_t  size_in_bytes, const void *  host_ptr = NULL  )

inline

Creates an array of the specified size on the CUDA device. If the second argument is provided, the buffer is initialized with data from that pointer.

Parameters

size_in_bytes	Number of bytes to allocate
host_ptr	Pointer to data which will be copied to the new array. Must point to at least 'size_in_bytes' bytes of data.

Definition at line 103 of file cuda.hpp.

void viennacl::backend::cuda::memory_read ( handle_type const &  src_buffer, vcl_size_t  src_offset, vcl_size_t  bytes_to_copy, void *  ptr, bool  async = false  )

inline

Reads data from a CUDA buffer back to main RAM.

Parameters

src_buffer	A smart pointer to the beginning of an allocated CUDA source buffer
src_offset	Offset of the first byte to be read from the beginning of src_buffer (in bytes_
bytes_to_copy	Number of bytes to be read
ptr	Location in main RAM where to read data should be written to
async	Whether the operation should be asynchronous

Definition at line 183 of file cuda.hpp.

void viennacl::backend::cuda::memory_write ( handle_type &  dst_buffer, vcl_size_t  dst_offset, vcl_size_t  bytes_to_copy, const void *  ptr, bool  async = false  )

inline

Writes data from main RAM identified by 'ptr' to the CUDA buffer identified by 'dst_buffer'.

Parameters

dst_buffer	A smart pointer to the beginning of an allocated CUDA buffer
dst_offset	Offset of the first written byte from the beginning of 'dst_buffer' (in bytes)
bytes_to_copy	Number of bytes to be copied
ptr	Pointer to the first byte to be written
async	Whether the operation should be asynchronous
