VecHIPGetArrayWrite#
Provides write access to the HIP buffer inside a vector.
Synopsis#
#include <petscvec.h>
PetscErrorCode VecHIPGetArrayWrite(Vec v, PetscScalar **a)
Logically Collective; Asynchronous; No Fortran Support
Input Parameter#
v - the vector
Output Parameter#
a - the HIP pointer
Notes#
The data pointed to by the device pointer is uninitialized. The user may not read from this data. Furthermore, the entire array needs to be filled by the user to obtain well-defined behaviour. The device memory will be allocated by this function if it hasn’t been allocated previously. This is analogous to intent(out) in Fortran.
The device pointer needs to be released with VecHIPRestoreArrayWrite()
. When the pointer is
released the host data of the vector is marked as out of data. Subsequent access of the host
data with e.g. VecGetArray()
incurs a device to host data transfer.
