cuda.core.ObjectCode#

class cuda.core.ObjectCode(*args, **kwargs)#

Represent a compiled program to be loaded onto the device.

This object provides a unified interface for different types of compiled programs that will be loaded onto the device.

Note

This class has no default constructor. If you already have a cubin that you would like to load, use the from_cubin() alternative constructor. Constructing directly from all other possible code types should be avoided in favor of compilation through Program

Methods

__init__()#
static from_cubin(
module: bytes | str,
*,
name: str = '',
symbol_mapping: dict | None = None,
) → ObjectCode#

Create an ObjectCode instance from an existing cubin.

Parameters:

  • module (Union[bytes, str]) – Either a bytes object containing the in-memory cubin to load, or a file path string pointing to the on-disk cubin to load.

  • name (Optional[str]) – A human-readable identifier representing this code object.

  • symbol_mapping (Optional[dict]) – A dictionary specifying how the unmangled symbol names (as keys) should be mapped to the mangled names before trying to retrieve them (default to no mappings).

static from_fatbin(
module: bytes | str,
*,
name: str = '',
symbol_mapping: dict | None = None,
) → ObjectCode#

Create an ObjectCode instance from an existing fatbin.

Parameters:

  • module (Union[bytes, str]) – Either a bytes object containing the in-memory fatbin to load, or a file path string pointing to the on-disk fatbin to load.

  • name (Optional[str]) – A human-readable identifier representing this code object.

  • symbol_mapping (Optional[dict]) – A dictionary specifying how the unmangled symbol names (as keys) should be mapped to the mangled names before trying to retrieve them (default to no mappings).

static from_library(
module: bytes | str,
*,
name: str = '',
symbol_mapping: dict | None = None,
) → ObjectCode#

Create an ObjectCode instance from an existing library.

Parameters:

  • module (Union[bytes, str]) – Either a bytes object containing the in-memory library to load, or a file path string pointing to the on-disk library to load.

  • name (Optional[str]) – A human-readable identifier representing this code object.

  • symbol_mapping (Optional[dict]) – A dictionary specifying how the unmangled symbol names (as keys) should be mapped to the mangled names before trying to retrieve them (default to no mappings).

static from_ltoir(
module: bytes | str,
*,
name: str = '',
symbol_mapping: dict | None = None,
) → ObjectCode#

Create an ObjectCode instance from an existing LTOIR.

Parameters:

  • module (Union[bytes, str]) – Either a bytes object containing the in-memory ltoir code to load, or a file path string pointing to the on-disk ltoir file to load.

  • name (Optional[str]) – A human-readable identifier representing this code object.

  • symbol_mapping (Optional[dict]) – A dictionary specifying how the unmangled symbol names (as keys) should be mapped to the mangled names before trying to retrieve them (default to no mappings).

static from_object(
module: bytes | str,
*,
name: str = '',
symbol_mapping: dict | None = None,
) → ObjectCode#

Create an ObjectCode instance from an existing object code.

Parameters:

  • module (Union[bytes, str]) – Either a bytes object containing the in-memory object code to load, or a file path string pointing to the on-disk object code to load.

  • name (Optional[str]) – A human-readable identifier representing this code object.

  • symbol_mapping (Optional[dict]) – A dictionary specifying how the unmangled symbol names (as keys) should be mapped to the mangled names before trying to retrieve them (default to no mappings).

static from_ptx(
module: bytes | str,
*,
name: str = '',
symbol_mapping: dict | None = None,
) → ObjectCode#

Create an ObjectCode instance from an existing PTX.

Parameters:

  • module (Union[bytes, str]) – Either a bytes object containing the in-memory ptx code to load, or a file path string pointing to the on-disk ptx file to load.

  • name (Optional[str]) – A human-readable identifier representing this code object.

  • symbol_mapping (Optional[dict]) – A dictionary specifying how the unmangled symbol names (as keys) should be mapped to the mangled names before trying to retrieve them (default to no mappings).

get_kernel(name) → Kernel#

Return the Kernel of a specified name from this object code.

Parameters:

name (Any) – Name of the kernel to retrieve.

Returns:

Newly created kernel object.

Return type:

Kernel

Attributes

property code: bytes | bytearray | str#

Return the underlying code object.

property code_type: str#

Return the type of the underlying code object.

property handle#

Return the underlying handle object.

Caution

This handle is a Python object. To get the memory address of the underlying C handle, call int(ObjectCode.handle).

property name: str#

Return a human-readable name of this code object.
