array created inside a kernel usage of dynamic arrays that are created inside a kernel

[TheGoldrocker]

Hey,

I’m trying to create a dynamic array(of dim3) inside a kernel’s registry or shared memory. cudaMalloc is a host funcion, thus it is unavailable. I cannot use static arrays, because the size of my array depends on a parameter to the kernel. A workaround would be to create an array for each thread in the global memory, but that’d reduce the speed of the program. Is there any way to create a new array inside a kernel? like a T _array; or something?

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Maybe you can use template parameters for your kernel.

Shared memory declared as [font=“Courier New”]extern shared[/font] is allocated at kernel invocation time. Check Appendix B.2.3 of the Programming Guide for the details.
