6.41. VDPAU Interoperability
This section describes the VDPAU interoperability functions of the low-level CUDA driver application programming interface.
Functions
- CUresult cuGraphicsVDPAURegisterOutputSurface ( CUgraphicsResource* pCudaResource, VdpOutputSurface vdpSurface, unsigned int flags )
- Registers a VDPAU VdpOutputSurface object.
- CUresult cuGraphicsVDPAURegisterVideoSurface ( CUgraphicsResource* pCudaResource, VdpVideoSurface vdpSurface, unsigned int flags )
- Registers a VDPAU VdpVideoSurface object.
- CUresult cuVDPAUCtxCreate ( CUcontext* pCtx, unsigned int flags, CUdevice device, VdpDevice vdpDevice, VdpGetProcAddress* vdpGetProcAddress )
- Create a CUDA context for interoperability with VDPAU.
- CUresult cuVDPAUGetDevice ( CUdevice* pDevice, VdpDevice vdpDevice, VdpGetProcAddress* vdpGetProcAddress )
- Gets the CUDA device associated with a VDPAU device.
Functions
- CUresult cuGraphicsVDPAURegisterOutputSurface ( CUgraphicsResource* pCudaResource, VdpOutputSurface vdpSurface, unsigned int flags )
-
Registers a VDPAU VdpOutputSurface object.
Parameters
- pCudaResource
- - Pointer to the returned object handle
- vdpSurface
- - The VdpOutputSurface to be registered
- flags
- - Map flags
Returns
CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE, CUDA_ERROR_ALREADY_MAPPED, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT,
Description
Registers the VdpOutputSurface specified by vdpSurface for access by CUDA. A handle to the registered object is returned as pCudaResource. The surface's intended usage is specified using flags, as follows:
-
CU_GRAPHICS_MAP_RESOURCE_FLAGS_NONE: Specifies no hints about how this resource will be used. It is therefore assumed that this resource will be read from and written to by CUDA. This is the default value.
-
CU_GRAPHICS_MAP_RESOURCE_FLAGS_READ_ONLY: Specifies that CUDA will not write to this resource.
-
CU_GRAPHICS_MAP_RESOURCE_FLAGS_WRITE_DISCARD: Specifies that CUDA will not read from this resource and will write over the entire contents of the resource, so none of the data previously stored in the resource will be preserved.
The VdpOutputSurface is presented as an array of subresources that may be accessed using pointers returned by cuGraphicsSubResourceGetMappedArray. The exact number of valid arrayIndex values depends on the VDPAU surface format. The mapping is shown in the table below. mipLevel must be 0.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

- CUresult cuVDPAUCtxCreate ( CUcontext* pCtx, unsigned int flags, CUdevice device, VdpDevice vdpDevice, VdpGetProcAddress* vdpGetProcAddress )
-
Create a CUDA context for interoperability with VDPAU.
Parameters
- pCtx
- - Returned CUDA context
- flags
- - Options for CUDA context creation
- device
- - Device on which to create the context
- vdpDevice
- - The VdpDevice to interop with
- vdpGetProcAddress
- - VDPAU's VdpGetProcAddress function pointer
Returns
CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_DEINITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE, CUDA_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY
Description
Creates a new CUDA context, initializes VDPAU interoperability, and associates the CUDA context with the calling thread. It must be called before performing any other VDPAU interoperability operations. It may fail if the needed VDPAU driver facilities are not available. For usage of the flags parameter, see cuCtxCreate().
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

- CUresult cuVDPAUGetDevice ( CUdevice* pDevice, VdpDevice vdpDevice, VdpGetProcAddress* vdpGetProcAddress )
-
Gets the CUDA device associated with a VDPAU device.
Parameters
- pDevice
- - Device associated with vdpDevice
- vdpDevice

- - VDPAU's VdpGetProcAddress function pointer
Returns
CUDA_SUCCESS, CUDA_ERROR_DEINITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE
Description
Returns in *pDevice the CUDA device associated with a vdpDevice, if applicable.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
