4.20. VDPAU Interoperability
This section describes the VDPAU interoperability functions of the CUDA runtime application programming interface.
Functions
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaGraphicsVDPAURegisterOutputSurface ( cudaGraphicsResource** resource, VdpOutputSurface vdpSurface, unsigned int flags )
- Register a VdpOutputSurface object.
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaGraphicsVDPAURegisterVideoSurface ( cudaGraphicsResource** resource, VdpVideoSurface vdpSurface, unsigned int flags )
- Register a VdpVideoSurface object.
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaVDPAUGetDevice ( int* device, VdpDevice vdpDevice, VdpGetProcAddress* vdpGetProcAddress )
- Gets the CUDA device associated with a VdpDevice.
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaVDPAUSetVDPAUDevice ( int device, VdpDevice vdpDevice, VdpGetProcAddress* vdpGetProcAddress )
- Sets a CUDA device to use VDPAU interoperability.
Functions
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaGraphicsVDPAURegisterOutputSurface ( cudaGraphicsResource** resource, VdpOutputSurface vdpSurface, unsigned int flags )
-
Register a VdpOutputSurface object.
Parameters
- resource
- - Pointer to the returned object handle
- vdpSurface
- - VDPAU object to be registered
- flags
- - Map flags
Returns
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidDevice, cudaErrorInvalidValue, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle, cudaErrorUnknown
Description
Registers the VdpOutputSurface specified by vdpSurface for access by CUDA. A handle to the registered object is returned as resource. The surface's intended usage is specified using flags, as follows:
-
cudaGraphicsMapFlagsNone: Specifies no hints about how this resource will be used. It is therefore assumed that this resource will be read from and written to by CUDA. This is the default value.
-
cudaGraphicsMapFlagsReadOnly: Specifies that CUDA will not write to this resource.
-
cudaGraphicsMapFlagsWriteDiscard: Specifies that CUDA will not read from this resource and will write over the entire contents of the resource, so none of the data previously stored in the resource will be preserved.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

- __host__ cudaError_t cudaGraphicsVDPAURegisterVideoSurface ( cudaGraphicsResource** resource, VdpVideoSurface vdpSurface, unsigned int flags )
-
Register a VdpVideoSurface object.
Parameters
- resource
- - Pointer to the returned object handle
- vdpSurface
- - VDPAU object to be registered
- flags
- - Map flags
Returns
cudaSuccess, cudaErrorInvalidDevice, cudaErrorInvalidValue, cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle, cudaErrorUnknown

- __host__ cudaError_t cudaVDPAUGetDevice ( int* device, VdpDevice vdpDevice, VdpGetProcAddress* vdpGetProcAddress )
-
Gets the CUDA device associated with a VdpDevice.
Parameters
- device
- - Returns the device associated with vdpDevice, or -1 if the device associated with vdpDevice is not a compute device.
- vdpDevice
- - A VdpDevice handle
- vdpGetProcAddress
- - VDPAU's VdpGetProcAddress function pointer
Returns
Description
Returns the CUDA device associated with a VdpDevice, if applicable.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
See also:
- __host__ cudaError_t cudaVDPAUSetVDPAUDevice ( int device, VdpDevice vdpDevice, VdpGetProcAddress* vdpGetProcAddress )
-
Sets a CUDA device to use VDPAU interoperability.
Parameters
- device
- - Device to use for VDPAU interoperability
- vdpDevice
- - The VdpDevice to interoperate with
- vdpGetProcAddress
- - VDPAU's VdpGetProcAddress function pointer
Description
Records vdpDevice as the VdpDevice for VDPAU interoperability with the CUDA device device and sets device as the current device for the calling host thread.
If device has already been initialized then this call will fail with the error cudaErrorSetOnActiveProcess. In this case it is necessary to reset device using cudaDeviceReset() before VDPAU interoperability on device may be enabled.
Note:Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
