Allocate constant memory
- by Vlad
I'm trying to set my simulation params in constant memory but without luck (CUDA.NET).
cudaMemcpyToSymbol function returns cudaErrorInvalidSymbol. The first parameter in cudaMemcpyToSymbol is string... Is it symbol name? actualy I don't understand how it could be resolved. Any help appreciated.
//init, load .cubin
float[] arr = new float[1];
arr[0] = 0.0f;
int size = Marshal.SizeOf(arr[0]) * arr.Length;
IntPtr ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(size);
Marshal.Copy(arr, 0, ptr, arr.Length);
var error = CUDARuntime.cudaMemcpyToSymbol("param", ptr, 4, 0, cudaMemcpyKind.cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
my .cu file contain
__constant__ float param;
