Variables

unsigned char CUmemAllocationProp_v1::compressionType [inherited]

Allocation hint for requesting compressible memory. On devices that support Compute Data Compression, compressible memory can be used to accelerate accesses to data with unstructured sparsity and other compressible data patterns. Applications are expected to query allocation property of the handle obtained with cuMemCreate using cuMemGetAllocationPropertiesFromHandle to validate if the obtained allocation is compressible or not. Note that compressed memory may not be mappable on all devices.

void * CUmemAllocationProp_v1::win32HandleMetaData [inherited]

Windows-specific POBJECT_ATTRIBUTES required when CU_MEM_HANDLE_TYPE_WIN32 is specified. This object attributes structure includes security attributes that define the scope of which exported allocations may be transferred to other processes. In all other cases, this field is required to be zero.
