cuda.bindings.nvml.init_with_flags#

cuda.bindings.nvml.init_with_flags(unsigned int flags)#

Initialize the NVML Library lazily, without allocating any device state, with additional init flags.

A variant of init_v2(), this will initialize the NVML Library state without enumerating any discovered devices. An option to pass in additional flags is provided to modify the behavior of NVML Library init. The usage of these flags can be obtained from NVML_INIT_FLAG_*. These flags can be combined together. Other than the “flags” parameter, this method is completely identical to init_v2(). For all products.

Parameters:: flags (unsigned int) – NVML_INIT_FLAG_* flags that can modify NVML Init behavior.

Note

A reference count of the number of initializations is maintained, and a corresponding call to shutdown() needs to be issued once usage of the NVML Library is complete. Shutdown will only occur after the reference count reaches zero.
