06.05.2020 · malloc in a kernel. Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance. KevinIfremer May 6, 2020, 9:42pm #1. Hi, I need to allocate an array in a kernel. The problem is that the size vary according variables depending of the thread. Therefore I can’t use CudaMalloc in the main () function.
This is why we call cudaMalloc() to allocate memory on the device ... Kernels run on many threads which realize data parallel portion of an application.
In this kernel, every page in the arrays is written by the CPU, and then accessed by the CUDA kernel on the GPU, causing the kernel to wait on a lot of page migrations. That’s why the kernel time measured by the profiler is longer on a Pascal GPU like Tesla P100. Let’s look at the full nvprof output for the program on P100.
20.03.2012 · I think the reason introducing malloc() slows your code down is that it allocates memory in global memory. When you use a fixed size array, the compiler is likely to put it in the register file, which is much faster. Having to do a malloc inside your kernel may mean that you're trying to do too much work with a single kernel.
I'm new to CUDA/C and new to stack overflow. This is my first question. I'm trying to allocate memory dynamically in a kernel function, but the results are ...
allows the kernel to access host memory directly from the GPU ... one in host memory, returned by cudaHostAlloc() or malloc(). – one in host memory, ...

Malloc or new do not use interleaved allocation on cuda threads. This means each cuda thread generates a new memory request for each access and is using ...
30.11.2013 · Basic concepts: malloc in the kernel. Pointers and allocated memory space with a hint to Oktoberfest. During the last training I got a question how to do malloc in the kernel. It was one of those good questions, as it gives another view on a basic concept of OpenCL. Simply put: you cannot allocate (local or global) memory from within the kernel.
Yes, there is an equivalent to memcpy that works inside cuda kernels. It is called memcpy. As an example: __global__ void kernel(int **in, int **out, int len, ... cuda copy data which dynamic malloc in kernel from device memory. Hot Network Questions
