Undocumented function

I try the new 3D texture supported by CUDA 2.0b. However the programming guide does not provide the API i need for the task. So I have to di something similar to simpleTexture3D example in cuda SDK.

that is

   cudaMemcpy3DParms copyParams = {0};

    copyParams.srcPtr   = make_cudaPitchedPtr((void*)src, w *sizeof(float), w, h);

    copyParams.dstArray = d_volumeArray;

    copyParams.extent   = volumeSize;

    copyParams.kind     = cudaMemcpyHostToDevice;

   cudaMemcpy3D(&copyParams);

   com_tex3_float.addressMode[0] = cudaAddressModeWrap;

    com_tex3_float.addressMode[1] = cudaAddressModeWrap;

    com_tex3_float.addressMode[2] = cudaAddressModeWrap;

    com_tex3_float.filterMode     = cudaFilterModePoint;

    com_tex3_float.normalized     = false;

    cudaBindTextureToArray(com_tex3_float, d_volumeArray, desc);

It run correct with src is the 3D volume in the host. However, if I define a volume in device memory, and copy the contain of host volume to device, then to volume array

   float* d_src;

    size = w * h * l;

    cudaMalloc((void**)&d_src, sizeof(float) * size);

    cudaMemcpy(d_src, src, sizeof(float) *size, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);

...............

   copyParams.srcPtr   = make_cudaPitchedPtr((void*)d_src, w *sizeof(float), w, h);

..... 

   copyParams.kind     = cudaMemcpyDeviceToDevice;

.....

Now the program gives incorrect results. I can not understand what happen, it seems that i can not copy memory from device to the d_volumeArray

I try to find document about cudaMemcpy3D, but there’s nothing like that in the programming guide 2.0. Can someone tell me where i can find information about how to use 3D texture.

You should check page 49 in the Cuda Reference Manual (pdf should be in your toolkit docs directory).

Thank you, i think it should appear on the Programming guide.
