Increment a context's usage-count.

pctx

- Returned context handle of the current context

flags

- Context attach flags (must be 0)

Note that this function is deprecated and should not be used.

Increments the usage count of the context and passes back a context handle in *pctx that must be passed to cuCtxDetach() when the application is done with the context. cuCtxAttach() fails if there is no context current to the thread.

Currently, the flags parameter must be 0.

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

Decrement a context's usage-count.

Note that this function is deprecated and should not be used.

Decrements the usage count of the context ctx, and destroys the context if the usage count goes to 0. The context must be a handle that was passed back by cuCtxCreate() or cuCtxAttach(), and must be current to the calling thread.

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

Returns the current shared memory configuration for the current context.

pConfig

- returned shared memory configuration

This function will return in

the current size of shared memory banks in the current context. On devices with configurable shared memory banks,

can be used to change this setting, so that all subsequent kernel launches will by default use the new bank size. When

is called on devices without configurable shared memory, it will return the fixed bank size of the hardware.

The returned bank configurations can be either:

• CU_SHARED_MEM_CONFIG_FOUR_BYTE_BANK_SIZE: shared memory bank width is four bytes.

• CU_SHARED_MEM_CONFIG_EIGHT_BYTE_BANK_SIZE: shared memory bank width will eight bytes.

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.

Sets the shared memory configuration for the current context.

config

- requested shared memory configuration

On devices with configurable shared memory banks, this function will set the context's shared memory bank size which is used for subsequent kernel launches.

Changed the shared memory configuration between launches may insert a device side synchronization point between those launches.

Changing the shared memory bank size will not increase shared memory usage or affect occupancy of kernels, but may have major effects on performance. Larger bank sizes will allow for greater potential bandwidth to shared memory, but will change what kinds of accesses to shared memory will result in bank conflicts.

This function will do nothing on devices with fixed shared memory bank size.

The supported bank configurations are:

• CU_SHARED_MEM_CONFIG_DEFAULT_BANK_SIZE: set bank width to the default initial setting (currently, four bytes).

• CU_SHARED_MEM_CONFIG_FOUR_BYTE_BANK_SIZE: set shared memory bank width to be natively four bytes.

• CU_SHARED_MEM_CONFIG_EIGHT_BYTE_BANK_SIZE: set shared memory bank width to be natively eight bytes.

Note that this function may also return error codes from previous, asynchronous launches.
