mallocHostArray :: Storable a => [AllocFlag] -> Int -> IO (HostPtr a)

Allocate a section of linear memory on the host which is page-locked and directly accessible from the device. The storage is sufficient to hold the given number of elements of a storable type.

Note that since the amount of pageable memory is thusly reduced, overall system performance may suffer. This is best used sparingly to allocate staging areas for data exchange.

Host memory allocated in this way is automatically and immediately accessible to all contexts on all devices which support unified addressing.

mallocHostForeignPtr :: Storable a => [AllocFlag] -> Int -> IO (ForeignPtr a)

As mallocHostArray, but return a ForeignPtr instead. The array will be deallocated automatically once the last reference to the ForeignPtr is dropped.

freeHost :: HostPtr a -> IO ()

Free a section of page-locked host memory.

registerArray :: Storable a => [AllocFlag] -> Int -> Ptr a -> IO (HostPtr a)

Page-locks the specified array (on the host) and maps it for the device(s) as specified by the given allocation flags. Subsequently, the memory is accessed directly by the device so can be read and written with much higher bandwidth than pageable memory that has not been registered. The memory range is added to the same tracking mechanism as mallocHostArray to automatically accelerate calls to functions such as pokeArray.

Note that page-locking excessive amounts of memory may degrade system performance, since it reduces the amount of pageable memory available. This is best used sparingly to allocate staging areas for data exchange.

This function has limited support on Mac OS X. OS 10.7 or later is required.

Requires CUDA-4.0.

unregisterArray :: HostPtr a -> IO (Ptr a)

Unmaps the memory from the given pointer, and makes it pageable again.

Requires CUDA-4.0.

Device Allocation

mallocArray :: Storable a => Int -> IO (DevicePtr a)

Allocate a section of linear memory on the device, and return a reference to it. The memory is sufficient to hold the given number of elements of storable type. It is suitably aligned for any type, and is not cleared.

http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-driver-api/group__CUDA__MEM.html#group__CUDA__MEM_1gb82d2a09844a58dd9e744dc31e8aa467

allocaArray :: Storable a => Int -> (DevicePtr a -> IO b) -> IO b

Execute a computation on the device, passing a pointer to a temporarily allocated block of memory sufficient to hold the given number of elements of storable type. The memory is freed when the computation terminates (normally or via an exception), so the pointer must not be used after this.

Note that kernel launches can be asynchronous, so you may want to add a synchronisation point using sync as part of the continuation.

free :: DevicePtr a -> IO ()

Release a section of device memory.

mallocManagedArray :: Storable a => [AttachFlag] -> Int -> IO (DevicePtr a)

Allocates memory that will be automatically managed by the Unified Memory system. The returned pointer is valid on the CPU and on all GPUs which supported managed memory. All accesses to this pointer must obey the Unified Memory programming model.

On a multi-GPU system with peer-to-peer support, where multiple GPUs support managed memory, the physical storage is created on the GPU which is active at the time mallocManagedArray is called. All other GPUs will access the array at reduced bandwidth via peer mapping over the PCIe bus. The Unified Memory system does not migrate memory between GPUs.

On a multi-GPU system where multiple GPUs support managed memory, but not all pairs of such GPUs have peer-to-peer support between them, the physical storage is allocated in system memory (zero-copy memory) and all GPUs will access the data at reduced bandwidth over the PCIe bus.

Requires CUDA-6.0

Combined Allocation and Marshalling

newListArray :: Storable a => [a] -> IO (DevicePtr a)

Write a list of storable elements into a newly allocated device array. This is newListArrayLen composed with fst.

newListArrayLen :: Storable a => [a] -> IO (DevicePtr a, Int)

Write a list of storable elements into a newly allocated device array, returning the device pointer together with the number of elements that were written. Note that this requires two memory copies: firstly from a Haskell list to a heap allocated array, and from there onto the graphics device. The memory should be freed when no longer required.

withListArray :: Storable a => [a] -> (DevicePtr a -> IO b) -> IO b

Temporarily store a list of elements into a newly allocated device array. An IO action is applied to to the array, the result of which is returned. Similar to newListArray, this requires copying the data twice.

As with allocaArray, the memory is freed once the action completes, so you should not return the pointer from the action, and be wary of asynchronous kernel execution.

withListArrayLen :: Storable a => [a] -> (Int -> DevicePtr a -> IO b) -> IO b

A variant of withListArray which also supplies the number of elements in the array to the applied function
