Function Documentation

nlCUDABlas()

NLBlas_t nlCUDABlas

(

void

)

Gets a pointer to the BLAS abstraction layer for BLAS operation on the GPU using CUDA.

Returns

a pointer to the BLAS abstraction layer.

nlCUDAJacobiPreconditionerNewFromCRSMatrix()

NLMatrix nlCUDAJacobiPreconditionerNewFromCRSMatrix

(

NLMatrix

M

)

Creates a CUDA on-GPU Jacobi preconditioner from an OpenNL CRS matrix.

Calling nlMultMatrixVector() with the created matrix only works with vectors that reside on the GPU.

Parameters

[in]

M

the OpenNL CRS matrix.

Returns

a handle to the created CUDA matrix.

nlCUDAMatrixNewFromCRSMatrix()

NLMatrix nlCUDAMatrixNewFromCRSMatrix

(

NLMatrix

M

)

Creates a CUDA on-GPU matrix from an OpenNL CRS matrix.

Calling nlMultMatrixVector() with the created matrix only works with vectors that reside on the GPU.

Parameters

[in]

M

the OpenNL CRS matrix to be copied.

Returns

a handle to the CUDA matrix.

nlExtensionIsInitialized_CUDA()

NLboolean nlExtensionIsInitialized_CUDA

(

void

)

Tests whether the CUDA extension is initialized.

Return values

NL_TRUE	if the CUDA extension is initialized.
NL_FALSE	otherwise.

nlInitExtension_CUDA()

NLboolean nlInitExtension_CUDA

(

void

)

Initializes the CUDA extension.

This dynamically loads the CUDA libraries available in the system (if available) and retrieves the symbols in there.

Return values

NL_TRUE	if CUDA could be successfully dynamically loaded and all functions could be found in it.
NL_FALSE	otherwise.

Note

For now, only implemented under Linux in dynamic libraries mode.
