Enumerations
Functions
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaGLMapBufferObject ( void** devPtr, GLuint bufObj )
-
Maps a buffer object for access by CUDA.
Parameters
- devPtr
- - Returned device pointer to CUDA object
- bufObj
- - Buffer object ID to map
Deprecated
This function is deprecated as of CUDA 3.0.
Description
Maps the buffer object of ID bufObj into the address space of CUDA and returns in *devPtr the base pointer of the resulting mapping. The buffer must have previously been registered by calling cudaGLRegisterBufferObject(). While a buffer is mapped by CUDA, any OpenGL operation which references the buffer will result in undefined behavior. The OpenGL context used to create the buffer, or another context from the same share group, must be bound to the current thread when this is called.
All streams in the current thread are synchronized with the current GL context.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

Maps a buffer object for access by CUDA.
Parameters
- devPtr
- - Returned device pointer to CUDA object
- bufObj
- - Buffer object ID to map
- stream
- - Stream to synchronize
Deprecated
This function is deprecated as of CUDA 3.0.
Description
Maps the buffer object of ID bufObj into the address space of CUDA and returns in *devPtr the base pointer of the resulting mapping. The buffer must have previously been registered by calling cudaGLRegisterBufferObject(). While a buffer is mapped by CUDA, any OpenGL operation which references the buffer will result in undefined behavior. The OpenGL context used to create the buffer, or another context from the same share group, must be bound to the current thread when this is called.
Stream /p stream is synchronized with the current GL context.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
See also:
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaGLRegisterBufferObject ( GLuint bufObj )
-
Registers a buffer object for access by CUDA.
Parameters
- bufObj
- - Buffer object ID to register
Returns
Deprecated
This function is deprecated as of CUDA 3.0.
Description
Registers the buffer object of ID bufObj for access by CUDA. This function must be called before CUDA can map the buffer object. The OpenGL context used to create the buffer, or another context from the same share group, must be bound to the current thread when this is called.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
See also:
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaGLSetBufferObjectMapFlags ( GLuint bufObj, unsigned int flags )
-
Set usage flags for mapping an OpenGL buffer.
Parameters
- bufObj
- - Registered buffer object to set flags for
- flags
- - Parameters for buffer mapping
Deprecated
This function is deprecated as of CUDA 3.0.
Description
Set flags for mapping the OpenGL buffer bufObj
Changes to flags will take effect the next time bufObj is mapped. The flags argument may be any of the following:
-
cudaGLMapFlagsNone: Specifies no hints about how this buffer will be used. It is therefore assumed that this buffer will be read from and written to by CUDA kernels. This is the default value.
-
cudaGLMapFlagsReadOnly: Specifies that CUDA kernels which access this buffer will not write to the buffer.
-
cudaGLMapFlagsWriteDiscard: Specifies that CUDA kernels which access this buffer will not read from the buffer and will write over the entire contents of the buffer, so none of the data previously stored in the buffer will be preserved.
If bufObj has not been registered for use with CUDA, then cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle is returned. If bufObj is presently mapped for access by CUDA, then cudaErrorUnknown is returned.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
See also:
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaGLSetGLDevice ( int device )
-
Sets a CUDA device to use OpenGL interoperability.
Parameters
- device
- - Device to use for OpenGL interoperability
Deprecated
This function is deprecated as of CUDA 5.0.
Description
This function is deprecated and should no longer be used. It is no longer necessary to associate a CUDA device with an OpenGL context in order to achieve maximum interoperability performance.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
See also:
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaGLUnmapBufferObject ( GLuint bufObj )
-
Unmaps a buffer object for access by CUDA.
Parameters
- bufObj
- - Buffer object to unmap
Deprecated
This function is deprecated as of CUDA 3.0.
Description
Unmaps the buffer object of ID bufObj for access by CUDA. When a buffer is unmapped, the base address returned by cudaGLMapBufferObject() is invalid and subsequent references to the address result in undefined behavior. The OpenGL context used to create the buffer, or another context from the same share group, must be bound to the current thread when this is called.
All streams in the current thread are synchronized with the current GL context.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
See also:
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaGLUnmapBufferObjectAsync ( GLuint bufObj, cudaStream_t stream )
-
Unmaps a buffer object for access by CUDA.
Parameters
- bufObj
- - Buffer object to unmap
- stream
- - Stream to synchronize

-
Unregisters a buffer object for access by CUDA.
Parameters
- bufObj
- - Buffer object to unregister
Returns
Deprecated
This function is deprecated as of CUDA 3.0.
Description
Unregisters the buffer object of ID bufObj for access by CUDA and releases any CUDA resources associated with the buffer. Once a buffer is unregistered, it may no longer be mapped by CUDA. The GL context used to create the buffer, or another context from the same share group, must be bound to the current thread when this is called.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
