Hello,
The CUDA Driver API has special functions for “CUarray” handles. (like 1d,2d,3d “cuda arrays”, it comes with descriptors and such and channels (presumable for r,g,b and such).
I was just wondering a couple of things about this:
-
How to use CUarray in kernels ? How to access the elements ?
(Maybe these handles are not supposed to be accessed, and are supposed to be only passed to special inside-kernel-api’s-functions-instructions (probably not though External Image) maybe also texture related or so… ) -
What benefits does using this API provide compared to cuMalloc and such ?
Bye,
Skybuck.
