๐Ÿซถ Detailed Description ๐Ÿซถ

it's the generic library to interact with GPU computing device. ๐Ÿ’ปโœจ

ngl the thing you GOTTA internalize: the API is not thread-safe. Device management must be done by a single thread. one thread. that's the vibe. don't multitask it, bestie, it will not slay. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Warning โ€” EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice. (translation: it's giving "we might redo this", so don't build your whole personality on it ๐Ÿ”ฅ)

Allocate a chunk of memory in the device. Getting that bag of bytes, as one does. ๐Ÿ’–

Parameters

  • size โ€” number of bytes to allocate. Requesting 0 will do nothing.
  • ptr โ€” pointer to the memory area to be registered. NULL is a no-op accepted value.

Returns

A pointer to the allocated memory, otherwise NULL and rte_errno is set:

  • ENODEV if invalid dev_id

โš ๏ธ EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice.

Map a chunk of GPU memory to make it accessible from the CPU using the memory pointer returned by the function. GPU memory has to be allocated via rte_gpu_mem_alloc(). So the CPU finally gets the aux, but only if you did the alloc first โ€” prerequisites, bestie, always. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Parameters

  • dev_id โ€” device ID requiring mapped memory.
  • size โ€” number of bytes to map. Requesting 0 will do nothing.
  • ptr โ€” pointer to the GPU memory area to be mapped. NULL is a no-op accepted value.
