Macro Definition Documentation

#define NVRM_GPU_CLOCK_ASYNC_REQ_HANDLE_PRIFMT   "p"

NvRmGpuDevice subinterface for application-driven GPU clock frequency management.

  • The lifespan of GPU clock requests is tied to the NvRmGpuDevice instance. All requests are canceled when the NvRmGpuDevice handle is closed.
  • The clock requests of all NvRmGpuDevice instances are coalesced. Generally, given that thermal and power limits are not exceeded, the actual clock frequency will be at least the greatest requested. The exact selection algorithm depends on the global clock management driver policy. The selection algorithm is run by the "clock arbiter".
  • Each clock domain has VF points, defined as frequencies for which voltage is optimal. The clock arbiter will try to program frequencies which correspond to VF points.
  • A single clock request can set target frequencies for multiple clock domains
  • Clock requests can be either synchronous or asynchronous. In asynchronous mode a request handle is allocated and can be used to wait for request completion. This request handle must be freed by application.
  • It is possible to wait for any clock change event, in order to detect clock changes that originated from other applications or thermal conditions.

Function Documentation

NvError NvRmGpuClockCloseAsyncReq ( NvRmGpuDevice hDevice,
NvRmGpuClockAsyncReqHandle  hReq 
)

Closes an asynchronous request handle.

Frees all resources related to an asynchronous request. It is not mandatory to wait for request completion, before closing the handle.

Parameters
hDeviceGPU device handle.
hReqRequest handle obtained from NvRmGpuClockSet.
Returns
NvSuccess indicates that handle was closed.
NvError NvRmGpuClockGet ( NvRmGpuDevice hDevice,
NvRmGpuClockGetEntry pClkGetEntries,
size_t  numEntries 
)

Gets clock state(s).

Parameters
[in]hDeviceGPU device handle
[out]pClkGetEntriesArray of clock entries. For each entry, the clock domain and clock types MUST be set, and the associated frequency will be returned on a successful call. It is allowed to mix several clocks domains and clock types in the same request.
[out]numEntriesNumber of entries to query
Returns
NvSuccess indicates that request was successful.
NvError NvRmGpuClockGetDomains ( NvRmGpuDevice hDevice,
const NvRmGpuClockDomainInfo **  infos,
size_t *  pNumDomains 
)

Gets configurable clock domains.

Parameters
[in]hDeviceGPU device handle.
[out]infosArray of configurable clock domains. This list is valid only during the life-time of the hDevice handle.
[out]pNumDomainsNumber of domains in array.
Returns
NvSuccess indicates that request was successful.
NvError NvRmGpuClockGetPoints ( NvRmGpuDevice hDevice,
NvRmGpuClockDomain  domain,
NvRmGpuClockPoint pClkPoints,
size_t *  pNumPoints 
)

Gets VF points for a given clock domain.

For information about VF points, see NvRmGpuClockAsyncReqHandle.

Parameters
[in]hDeviceGPU device handle.
[in]domainClock domain to query.
[in,out]pClkPointsArray of optimal Voltage/Frequency points. The allocated array must contain space for at least NvRmGpuClockDomainInfo::maxVfPoints (as retrieved by NvRmGpuClockGetDomains())
[out]pNumPointsNumber of VF points. May vary depending on thermal conditions, and be lower than maxPoints.
Returns
NvSuccess indicates that request was successful.
NvError NvRmGpuClockSet ( NvRmGpuDevice hDevice,
const NvRmGpuClockSetEntry pClkSetEntries,
size_t  numEntries,
NvRmGpuClockAsyncReqHandle phReq 
)

Sets a clock request.

Parameters
[in]hDeviceGPU device handle.
[in]pClkSetEntriesArray of entries. Each entry specifies target frequency for one clock domain. If a clock domain appears multiple times, then only last entry will be taken into account.
[in]numEntriesNumber of entries in the pClkSetEntries array.
[in,out]phReqA pointer to request handle.
  • (in) If NULL, the request is synchronous and function waits until all clocks are programmed. Otherwise, the request is asynchronous and is assigned a request handle. The application may wait for asynchronous request completion using NvRmGpuClockWaitAsync(). The request handle MUST be freed by the application using NvRmGpuClockCloseAsyncReq().
    • (out) The request handle that was assigned to this asynchronous request.
Returns
NvSuccess indicates that the request has completed in the synchronous case, and that the request was successfully submitted in the asynchronous case. NvError_Busy indicates that an asynchronous request could not be submitted, and application should try again.
Note
  • A subsequent clock request to a domain supersedes the previous request
  • Actual frequency might differ depending on global policies, requests from other NvRmGpuDevice instances, or thermal conditions.
  • If specified target frequency is not a VF point, clock arbiter will try to program the clocks with first VF point that is greater than or equal to specified target frequency (assuming a single application)
  • All clock requests will be cancelled when hDevice is closed.
NvError NvRmGpuClockWaitAnyEvent ( NvRmGpuDevice hDevice,
uint32_t  timeoutMs 
)

Waits on any clock update event.

Parameters
hDeviceGPU device handle
timeoutMsTimeout value in milliseconds. NV_WAIT_INFINITE for no timeout.
Returns
NvSuccess indicates that we received a clock change event. NvError_Timeout indicates that timeout was reached.
Note
If several clock changes occurred between two calls to this function, then a single event will be reported.
NvError NvRmGpuClockWaitAsyncReq ( NvRmGpuDevice hDevice,
const NvRmGpuClockAsyncReqHandle phReqs,
size_t  numEntries,
uint32_t  timeoutMs 
)
