Functions

cudaError_t cudaDeviceCanAccessPeer ( int* canAccessPeer, int  device, int  peerDevice )

Queries if a device may directly access a peer device's memory.

Parameters

canAccessPeer

- Returned access capability

device

- Device from which allocations on peerDevice are to be directly accessed.

peerDevice

- Device on which the allocations to be directly accessed by device reside.

Returns

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidDevice

Description

Returns in *canAccessPeer a value of 1 if device device is capable of directly accessing memory from peerDevice and 0 otherwise. If direct access of peerDevice from device is possible, then access may be enabled by calling cudaDeviceEnablePeerAccess().

Note:

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

cudaError_t cudaDeviceDisablePeerAccess ( int  peerDevice )

Disables direct access to memory allocations on a peer device.

Parameters

peerDevice

- Peer device to disable direct access to

Returns

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorPeerAccessNotEnabled, cudaErrorInvalidDevice

Description

Returns cudaErrorPeerAccessNotEnabled if direct access to memory on peerDevice has not yet been enabled from the current device.

Note:

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

cudaError_t cudaDeviceEnablePeerAccess ( int  peerDevice, unsigned int  flags )

Enables direct access to memory allocations on a peer device.

Parameters

peerDevice

- Peer device to enable direct access to from the current device

flags

- Reserved for future use and must be set to 0

Returns

cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidDevice, cudaErrorPeerAccessAlreadyEnabled, cudaErrorInvalidValue

Description

On success, all allocations from peerDevice will immediately be accessible by the current device. They will remain accessible until access is explicitly disabled using cudaDeviceDisablePeerAccess() or either device is reset using cudaDeviceReset().

Note that access granted by this call is unidirectional and that in order to access memory on the current device from peerDevice, a separate symmetric call to cudaDeviceEnablePeerAccess() is required.

Peer access is not supported in 32 bit applications.

Returns cudaErrorInvalidDevice if cudaDeviceCanAccessPeer() indicates that the current device cannot directly access memory from peerDevice.

Returns cudaErrorPeerAccessAlreadyEnabled if direct access of peerDevice from the current device has already been enabled.

Returns cudaErrorInvalidValue if flags is not 0.

Note:

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