Struct rustacuda::module::Module

pub struct Module { /* fields omitted */ }

A compiled CUDA module, loaded into a context.

Implementations

impl Module

pub fn load_from_file(filename: &CStr) -> CudaResult<Module>

Load a module from the given file name into the current context.

The given file should be either a cubin file, a ptx file, or a fatbin file such as those produced by nvcc.

Example

use rustacuda::module::Module;
use std::ffi::CString;

let filename = CString::new("./resources/add.ptx")?;
let module = Module::load_from_file(&filename)?;

pub fn load_from_string(image: &CStr) -> CudaResult<Module>

Load a module from a CStr.

This is useful in combination with include_str!, to include the device code into the compiled executable.

The given CStr must contain the bytes of a cubin file, a ptx file or a fatbin file such as those produced by nvcc.

Example

use rustacuda::module::Module;
use std::ffi::CString;

let image = CString::new(include_str!("../resources/add.ptx"))?;
let module = Module::load_from_string(&image)?;

pub fn get_global<'a, T: DeviceCopy>(
    &'a self,
    name: &CStr
) -> CudaResult<Symbol<'a, T>>

Get a reference to a global symbol, which can then be copied to/from.

Panics:

This function panics if the size of the symbol is not the same as the mem::sizeof<T>().

Examples

use rustacuda::module::Module;
use std::ffi::CString;

let ptx = CString::new(include_str!("../resources/add.ptx"))?;
let module = Module::load_from_string(&ptx)?;
let name = CString::new("my_constant")?;
let symbol = module.get_global::<u32>(&name)?;
let mut host_const = 0;
symbol.copy_to(&mut host_const)?;
assert_eq!(314, host_const);

pub fn get_function<'a>(&'a self, name: &CStr) -> CudaResult<Function<'a>>

Get a reference to a kernel function which can then be launched.

Examples

use rustacuda::module::Module;
use std::ffi::CString;

let ptx = CString::new(include_str!("../resources/add.ptx"))?;
let module = Module::load_from_string(&ptx)?;
let name = CString::new("sum")?;
let function = module.get_function(&name)?;

pub fn drop(module: Module) -> DropResult<Module>

Destroy a Module, returning an error.

Destroying a module can return errors from previous asynchronous work. This function destroys the given module and returns the error and the un-destroyed module on failure.

Example

use rustacuda::module::Module;
use std::ffi::CString;

let ptx = CString::new(include_str!("../resources/add.ptx"))?;
let module = Module::load_from_string(&ptx)?;
match Module::drop(module) {
    Ok(()) => println!("Successfully destroyed"),
    Err((e, module)) => {
        println!("Failed to destroy module: {:?}", e);
        // Do something with module
    },
}

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Module

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

impl Drop for Module

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.
