\section{Device and Host Memory Association}
|
|
\label{sec:target_associate_ptr}
|
|
|
|
The association of device memory with host memory
|
|
can be established by calling the \scode{omp_target_associate_ptr}
|
|
API routine as part of the mapping.
|
|
The following example shows the use of this routine
|
|
to associate device memory of size \splc{CS},
|
|
allocated by the \scode{omp_target_alloc} routine and
|
|
pointed to by the device pointer \splc{dev_ptr},
|
|
with a chunk of the host array \splc{arr} starting at index \splc{ioff}.
|
|
In Fortran, the intrinsic function \scode{c_loc} is called
|
|
to obtain the corresponding C pointer (\splc{h_ptr}) of \splc{arr(ioff)}
|
|
for use in the call to the API routine.
|
|
|
|
Since the reference count of the resulting mapping is infinite,
|
|
it is necessary to use the \scode{target}~\scode{update} directive (or
|
|
the \scode{always} modifier in a \scode{map} clause) to accomplish a
|
|
data transfer between host and device.
|
|
The explicit mapping of the array section \splc{arr[ioff:CS]}
|
|
(or \splc{arr(ioff:ioff+CS-1)} in Fortran) on the \scode{target}
|
|
construct ensures that the allocated and associated device memory is used
|
|
when referencing the array \splc{arr} in the \scode{target} region.
|
|
The device pointer \splc{dev_ptr} cannot be accessed directly
|
|
after a call to the \scode{omp_target_associate_ptr} routine.
|
|
|
|
After the \scode{target} region, the device pointer is disassociated from
|
|
the current chunk of the host memory by calling the \scode{omp_target_disassociate_ptr} routine before working on the next chunk.
|
|
The device memory is freed by calling the \scode{omp_target_free}
|
|
routine at the end.
