cuda.bindings._v2.driver.surf_object_create#

cuda.bindings._v2.driver.surf_object_create(p_res_desc) → uint64_t#

Creates a surface object.

Creates a surface object and returns it in p_surf_object. p_res_desc describes the data to perform surface load/stores on. CUDA_RESOURCE_DESC.resType must be CU_RESOURCE_TYPE_ARRAY and CUDA_RESOURCE_DESC.res.array.hArray must be set to a valid CUDA array handle. CUDA_RESOURCE_DESC.flags must be set to zero. Surface objects are only supported on devices of compute capability 3.0 or higher. Additionally, a surface object is an opaque value, and, as such, should only be accessed through CUDA API calls.

Parameters:: p_res_desc (intptr_t) – Resource descriptor.
Returns:: Surface object to create.
Return type:: uint64_t
