5.3. Initialization
This section describes the initialization functions of the low-level CUDA driver application programming interface.
Functions
Functions
- CUresult cuInit ( unsigned int Flags )
-
Initialize the CUDA driver API.
Parameters
- Flags
- - Initialization flag for CUDA.
Returns
CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_DEVICE, CUDA_ERROR_SYSTEM_DRIVER_MISMATCH, CUDA_ERROR_COMPAT_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_DEVICE
Description
Initializes the driver API and must be called before any other function from the driver API. Currently, the Flags parameter must be 0. If cuInit() has not been called, any function from the driver API will return CUDA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
