Typedefs

void ( *CUpti_BuffersCallbackCompleteFunc )( CUcontext context,  uint32_t streamId, uint8_t*  buffer,  size_t size,  size_t validSize )

Function type for callback used by CUPTI to return a buffer of activity records. This callback function returns to the CUPTI client a buffer containing activity records. The buffer contains validSize bytes of activity records which should be read using cuptiActivityGetNextRecord. The number of dropped records can be read using cuptiActivityGetNumDroppedRecords. After this call CUPTI relinquished ownership of the buffer and will not use it anymore. The client may return the buffer to CUPTI using the CUpti_BuffersCallbackRequestFunc callback. Note: CUDA 6.0 onwards, all buffers returned by this callback are global buffers i.e. there is no context/stream specific buffer. User needs to parse the global buffer to extract the context/stream specific activity records.

Parameters
context
The context this buffer is associated with. If NULL, the buffer is associated with the global activities. This field is deprecated as of CUDA 6.0 and will always be NULL.
uint32_t streamId
buffer
The activity record buffer.
size_t size
size_t validSize
void ( *CUpti_BuffersCallbackRequestFunc )( uint8_t*  *buffer, size_t*  size, size_t*  maxNumRecords )

Function type for callback used by CUPTI to request an empty buffer for storing activity records. This callback function signals the CUPTI client that an activity buffer is needed by CUPTI. The activity buffer is used by CUPTI to store activity records. The callback function can decline the request by setting *buffer to NULL. In this case CUPTI may drop activity records.

Parameters
*buffer
size
Returns the size of the returned buffer.
maxNumRecords
Returns the maximum number of records that should be placed in the buffer. If 0 then the buffer is filled with as many records as possible. If > 0 the buffer is filled with at most that many records before it is returned.

Enumerations

enum CUpti_ActivityAttribute

These attributes are used to control the behavior of the activity API.

Values
CUPTI_ACTIVITY_ATTR_DEVICE_BUFFER_SIZE = 0
The device memory size (in bytes) reserved for storing profiling data for non-CDP operations for each buffer on a context. The value is a size_t.Having larger buffer size means less flush operations but consumes more device memory. Having smaller buffer size increases the risk of dropping timestamps for kernel records if too many kernels are launched/replayed at one time. This value only applies to new buffer allocations.Set this value before initializing CUDA or before creating a context to ensure it is considered for the following allocations.The default value is 8388608 (8MB).Note: The actual amount of device memory per buffer reserved by CUPTI might be larger.
CUPTI_ACTIVITY_ATTR_DEVICE_BUFFER_SIZE_CDP = 1
The device memory size (in bytes) reserved for storing profiling data for CDP operations for each buffer on a context. The value is a size_t.Having larger buffer size means less flush operations but consumes more device memory. This value only applies to new allocations.Set this value before initializing CUDA or before creating a context to ensure it is considered for the following allocations.The default value is 8388608 (8MB).Note: The actual amount of device memory per context reserved by CUPTI might be larger.
CUPTI_ACTIVITY_ATTR_DEVICE_BUFFER_POOL_LIMIT = 2
The maximum number of memory buffers per context. The value is a size_t.Buffers can be reused by the context. Increasing this value reduces the times CUPTI needs to flush the buffers.

       CUptiResult status = CUPTI_SUCCESS;
         do {
            status = cuptiActivityGetNextRecord(buffer, validSize, &record);
            if(status == CUPTI_SUCCESS) {
                 // Use record here...
            }
            else if (status == CUPTI_ERROR_MAX_LIMIT_REACHED)
                break;

Returns

  • CUPTI_SUCCESS

  • CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

    if dropped is NULL

Description

Get the number of records that were dropped because of insufficient buffer space. The dropped count includes records that could not be recorded because CUPTI did not have activity buffer space available for the record (because the CUpti_BuffersCallbackRequestFunc callback did not return an empty buffer of sufficient size) and also CDP records that could not be record because the device-size buffer was full (size is controlled by the CUPTI_ACTIVITY_ATTR_DEVICE_BUFFER_SIZE_CDP attribute). The dropped count maintained for the queue is reset to zero when this function is called.

CUptiResult cuptiActivityPopExternalCorrelationId ( CUpti_ExternalCorrelationKind kind, uint64_t* lastId )

This API can be called at any time but for the safe use it is suggested that CUPTI client makes sure that required CUDA synchronization is done before calling the API.

CUptiResult cuptiGetAutoBoostState ( CUcontext context, CUpti_ActivityAutoBoostState* state )
Get auto boost state.
Parameters
context
A valid CUcontext.
state
A pointer to CUpti_ActivityAutoBoostState structure which contains the current state and the id of the process that has requested the current state
Returns

  • CUPTI_SUCCESS

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

    if CUcontext or state is NULL

  • CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

    Indicates that the device does not support auto boost

  • CUPTI_ERROR_UNKNOWN

    an internal error occurred

Description

The profiling results can be inconsistent in case auto boost is enabled. CUPTI tries to disable auto boost while profiling. It can fail to disable in cases where user does not have the permissions or CUDA_AUTO_BOOST env variable is set. The function can be used to query whether auto boost is enabled.

CUptiResult cuptiGetContextId ( CUcontext context, uint32_t* contextId )
Get the ID of a context.
Parameters
context
The context
contextId
Returns a process-unique ID for the context
Returns

  • CUPTI_SUCCESS

  • CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT

    The context is NULL or not valid.

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

    if contextId is NULL

Description

Get the ID of a context.

CUptiResult cuptiGetDeviceId ( CUcontext context, uint32_t* deviceId )
Get the ID of a device.
Parameters
context
The context, or NULL to indicate the current context.
deviceId
Returns the ID of the device that is current for the calling thread.
Returns

  • CUPTI_SUCCESS

  • CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_DEVICE

    if unable to get device ID

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

    if deviceId is NULL

Description

If context is NULL, returns the ID of the device that contains the currently active context. If context is non-NULL, returns the ID of the device which contains that context. Operates in a similar manner to cudaGetDevice() or cuCtxGetDevice() but may be called from within callback functions.

CUptiResult cuptiGetLastError ( void )
Returns the last error from a cupti call or callback.
Description

Returns the last error that has been produced by any of the cupti api calls or the callback in the same host thread and resets it to CUPTI_SUCCESS.

CUptiResult cuptiGetStreamId ( CUcontext context, CUstream stream, uint32_t* streamId )
Get the ID of a stream.
Parameters
context
If non-NULL then the stream is checked to ensure that it belongs to this context. Typically this parameter should be null.
stream
The stream
streamId
Returns a context-unique ID for the stream
Returns

  • CUPTI_SUCCESS

  • CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_STREAM

    if unable to get stream ID, or if context is non-NULL and stream does not belong to the context

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

    if streamId is NULL

Description

Get the ID of a stream. The stream ID is unique within a context (i.e. all streams within a context will have unique stream IDs).

**DEPRECATED** This method is deprecated as of CUDA 8.0. Use method cuptiGetStreamIdEx instead.

CUptiResult cuptiGetStreamIdEx ( CUcontext context, CUstream stream, uint8_t perThreadStream, uint32_t* streamId )
Get the ID of a stream.
Parameters
context
If non-NULL then the stream is checked to ensure that it belongs to this context. Typically this parameter should be null.
stream
The stream
perThreadStream
Flag to indicate if program is compiled for per-thread streams
streamId
Returns a context-unique ID for the stream
Returns

  • CUPTI_SUCCESS

  • CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_STREAM

    if unable to get stream ID, or if context is non-NULL and stream does not belong to the context

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

    if streamId is NULL

Description

Get the ID of a stream. The stream ID is unique within a context (i.e. all streams within a context will have unique stream IDs).

CUptiResult cuptiGetThreadIdType ( CUpti_ActivityThreadIdType* type )
Get the thread-id type.
Returns

  • CUPTI_SUCCESS

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

    if type is NULL

Description

Returns the thread-id type used in CUPTI

CUptiResult cuptiGetTimestamp ( uint64_t* timestamp )
Get the CUPTI timestamp.
Parameters
timestamp
Returns the CUPTI timestamp
Returns

  • CUPTI_SUCCESS

  • CUPTI_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

    if timestamp is NULL

Description

Returns a timestamp normalized to correspond with the start and end timestamps reported in the CUPTI activity records. The timestamp is reported in nanoseconds.

CUptiResult cuptiSetThreadIdType ( CUpti_ActivityThreadIdType type )
Set the thread-id type.
Returns

  • CUPTI_SUCCESS

  • CUPTI_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

    if type is not supported on the platform

Description

CUPTI uses the method corresponding to set type to generate the thread-id. See enum /ref CUpti_ActivityThreadIdType for the list of methods. Activity records having thread-id field contain the same value. Thread id type must not be changed during the profiling session to avoid thread-id value mismatch across activity records.
