Read the values for all the events in an event group. The event values are returned in the eventValueBuffer buffer. eventValueBufferSizeBytes indicates the size of eventValueBuffer. The buffer must be at least (sizeof(uint64) * number of events in group) if CUPTI_EVENT_GROUP_ATTR_PROFILE_ALL_DOMAIN_INSTANCES is not set on the group containing the events. The buffer must be at least (sizeof(uint64) * number of domain instances * number of events in group) if CUPTI_EVENT_GROUP_ATTR_PROFILE_ALL_DOMAIN_INSTANCES is set on the group.

The data format returned in eventValueBuffer is:

domain instance 0: event0 event1 ... eventN
domain instance 1: event0 event1 ... eventN
...
domain instance M: event0 event1 ... eventN

The event order in eventValueBuffer is returned in eventIdArray. The size of eventIdArray is specified in eventIdArraySizeBytes. The size should be at least (sizeof(CUpti_EventID) * number of events in group).

If any instance of any event counter overflows, the value returned for that event instance will be CUPTI_EVENT_OVERFLOW.

The only allowed value for flags is CUPTI_EVENT_READ_FLAG_NONE.

Reading events from a disabled event group is not allowed. After being read, an event's value is reset to zero.

Note:

CUptiResult cuptiEventGroupSetAttribute ( CUpti_EventGroup eventGroup, CUpti_EventGroupAttribute attrib, size_t valueSize, void* value )

Write an event group attribute.

eventGroup: The event group
attrib: The attribute to write
valueSize: The size, in bytes, of the value
value: The attribute value to write

Returns

CUPTI_SUCCESS
CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED
CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
if valueSize or value is NULL, or if attrib is not an event group attribute, or if attrib is not a writable attribute
CUPTI_ERROR_PARAMETER_SIZE_NOT_SUFFICIENT
Indicates that the value buffer is too small to hold the attribute value.

Description

Write an event group attribute.

Note:

Thread-safety: this function is thread safe.

CUptiResult cuptiEventGroupSetDisable ( CUpti_EventGroupSet* eventGroupSet )

Disable an event group set.

Parameters

eventGroupSet: The pointer to the event group set

Returns

CUPTI_SUCCESS
CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED
CUPTI_ERROR_HARDWARE
CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
if eventGroupSet is NULL

Description

Disable a set of event groups. Disabling a set of event groups stops collection of events contained in the groups.

Note:

Thread-safety: this function is thread safe.
If this call fails, some of the event groups in the set may be disabled and other event groups may remain enabled.

CUptiResult cuptiEventGroupSetEnable ( CUpti_EventGroupSet* eventGroupSet )

Enable an event group set.

Parameters

eventGroupSet: The pointer to the event group set

Returns

CUPTI_SUCCESS
CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED
CUPTI_ERROR_HARDWARE
CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_READY
if eventGroup does not contain any events
CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_COMPATIBLE
if eventGroup cannot be enabled due to other already enabled event groups
CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
if eventGroupSet is NULL
CUPTI_ERROR_HARDWARE_BUSY
if other client is profiling and hardware is busy

Description

Enable a set of event groups. Enabling a set of event groups zeros the value of all the events in all the groups and then starts collection of those events.

Note:

Thread-safety: this function is thread safe.

CUptiResult cuptiEventGroupSetsCreate ( CUcontext context, size_t eventIdArraySizeBytes, CUpti_EventID* eventIdArray, CUpti_EventGroupSets** eventGroupPasses )

For a set of events, get the grouping that indicates the number of passes and the event groups necessary to collect the events.

Parameters

context: The context for event collection
eventIdArraySizeBytes: Size of eventIdArray in bytes
eventIdArray: Array of event IDs that need to be grouped
eventGroupPasses: Returns a CUpti_EventGroupSets object that indicates the number of passes required to collect the events and the events to collect on each pass

Returns

CUPTI_SUCCESS
CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED
CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT
CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_EVENT_ID
CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
if eventIdArray or eventGroupPasses is NULL

Description

The number of events that can be collected simultaneously varies by device and by the type of the events. When events can be collected simultaneously, they may need to be grouped into multiple event groups because they are from different event domains. This function takes a set of events and determines how many passes are required to collect all those events, and which events can be collected simultaneously in each pass.

The CUpti_EventGroupSets returned in eventGroupPasses indicates how many passes are required to collect the events with the numSets field. Within each event group set, the sets array indicates the event groups that should be collected on each pass.

Note:

Thread-safety: this function is thread safe, but client must guard against another thread simultaneously destroying context.

CUptiResult cuptiEventGroupSetsDestroy ( CUpti_EventGroupSets* eventGroupSets )

Destroy a CUpti_EventGroupSets object.

Parameters

eventGroupSets: The object to destroy

Returns

CUPTI_SUCCESS
CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED
CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_OPERATION
if any of the event groups contained in the sets is enabled
CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
if eventGroupSets is NULL

Description

Destroy a CUpti_EventGroupSets object.

Note:

Thread-safety: this function is thread safe.

CUptiResult cuptiGetNumEventDomains ( uint32_t* numDomains )
