Standard Library: CUDA (std/cuda.zc)

The std/cuda module provides helper functions and types for CUDA interoperability, simplifying memory management, synchronization, and device queries.

Note: This module requires compiling with the --cuda flag.

Usage

import "std/cuda.zc"

fn main() {
    let dev_ptr = cuda_alloc<float>(1024);
    defer cuda_free(dev_ptr);
    
    cuda_sync();
}

Structure

struct CudaDeviceProp {
    name: String;
    total_global_mem: usize;
    multi_processor_count: int;
    major: int;
    minor: int;
    max_threads_per_block: int;
    warp_size: int;
}

Methods

Memory Management

Method Signature Description
cuda_alloc cuda_alloc<T>(n: usize) -> T* Allocates device memory for n elements of type T.
cuda_free cuda_free(ptr: void*) Frees device memory.
cuda_copy_to_device cuda_copy_to_device(dst: void*, src: void*, bytes: usize) Copies data from host (CPU) to device (GPU).
cuda_copy_to_host cuda_copy_to_host(dst: void*, src: void*, bytes: usize) Copies data from device (GPU) to host (CPU).
cuda_copy_device cuda_copy_device(dst: void*, src: void*, bytes: usize) Copies data from device to device.
cuda_zero cuda_zero(ptr: void*, bytes: usize) Sets device memory to zero.

Synchronization

Method Signature Description
cuda_sync cuda_sync() Synchronizes the device (blocks until all previous CUDA calls complete).

Device Information

Method Signature Description
cuda_device_count cuda_device_count() -> int Returns the number of available CUDA devices.
cuda_set_device cuda_set_device(id: int) Sets the active CUDA device.
cuda_device_properties cuda_device_properties(device_id: int) -> CudaDeviceProp Returns properties of the specified device.

Device Functions (Kernel Only)

These functions are marked @device and should only be called from within a kernel (@global) or device functions.

Function Signature Description
thread_id thread_id() -> int Global thread index.
block_id block_id() -> int Block index (blockIdx.x).
local_id local_id() -> int Local thread index (threadIdx.x).
block_size block_size() -> int Block dimension (blockDim.x).
grid_size grid_size() -> int Grid dimension (gridDim.x).
