cupy.cuda.Stream#
- class cupy.cuda.Stream(null=False, non_blocking=False, ptds=False, priority=None)[source]#
CUDA stream.
This class handles the CUDA stream handle in RAII way, i.e., when an Stream instance is destroyed by the GC, its handle is also destroyed.
Note that if both
null
andptds
areFalse
, a plain new stream is created.- Parameters:
null (bool) – If
True
, the stream is a null stream (i.e. the default stream that synchronizes with all streams). Note that you can also use theStream.null
singleton object instead of creating a new null stream object.ptds (bool) – If
True
andnull
isFalse
, the per-thread default stream is used. Note that you can also use theStream.ptds
singleton object instead of creating a new per-thread default stream object.non_blocking (bool) – If
True
and bothnull
andptds
areFalse
, the stream does not synchronize with the NULL stream.priority (int) – Priority of the stream. Lower numbers represent higher priorities.
- Variables:
~Stream.ptr (intptr_t) – Raw stream handle.
~Stream.device_id (int) – The ID of the device that the stream was created on. The value
-1
is used for the singleton stream objects.
Methods
- __enter__(self)#
- __exit__(self, *args)#
- add_callback(self, callback, arg)#
Adds a callback that is called when all queued work is done.
- Parameters:
callback (function) – Callback function. It must take three arguments (Stream object, int error status, and user data object), and returns nothing.
arg (object) – Argument to the callback.
Note
Whenever possible, use the
launch_host_func()
method instead of this one, as it may be deprecated and removed from CUDA at some point.
- begin_capture(self, mode=None)#
Begin stream capture to construct a CUDA graph.
A call to this function must be paired with a call to
end_capture()
to complete the capture.# create a non-blocking stream for the purpose of capturing s1 = cp.cuda.Stream(non_blocking=True) with s1: s1.begin_capture() # ... perform operations to construct a graph ... g = s1.end_capture() # the returned graph can be launched on any stream (including s1) g.launch(stream=s1) s1.synchronize() s2 = cp.cuda.Stream() with s2: g.launch() s2.synchronize()
- Parameters:
mode (int) – The stream capture mode. Default is
streamCaptureModeRelaxed
.
Note
During the stream capture, synchronous device-host transfers are not allowed. This has a particular implication for CuPy APIs, as some functions that internally require synchronous transfer would not work as expected and an exception would be raised. For further constraints of CUDA stream capture, please refer to the CUDA Programming Guide.
Note
Currently this capability is not supported on HIP.

- end_capture(self)#
End stream capture and retrieve the constructed CUDA graph.
- Returns:
A CUDA graph object that encapsulates the captured work.
- Return type:
Note
Currently this capability is not supported on HIP.
See also
- is_capturing(self)#
Check if the stream is capturing.
- Returns:
If the capturing status is successfully queried, the returned value indicates the capturing status. An exception could be raised if such a query is illegal, please refer to the CUDA Programming Guide for detail.
- Return type:
- launch_host_func(self, callback, arg)#
Launch a callback on host when all queued work is done.
- Parameters:
callback (function) – Callback function. It must take only one argument (user data object), and returns nothing.
arg (object) – Argument to the callback.
Note
Whenever possible, this method is recommended over
add_callback()
, which may be deprecated and removed from CUDA at some point.See also
- record(self, event=None)#
Records an event on the stream.
- Parameters:
event (None or cupy.cuda.Event) – CUDA event. If
None
, then a new plain event is created and used.- Returns:
The recorded event.
- Return type:
See also
- synchronize(self)#
Waits for the stream completing all queued work.
- use(self)#
Makes this stream current.
If you want to switch a stream temporarily, use the with statement.
- wait_event(self, event)#
Makes the stream wait for an event.
The future work on this stream will be done after the event.
- Parameters:
event (cupy.cuda.Event) – CUDA event.
- __eq__(self, other)#
- __ne__(value, /)#
Return self!=value.
- __lt__(value, /)#
Return self<value.
- __le__(value, /)#
Return self<=value.
- __gt__(value, /)#
Return self>value.
- __ge__(value, /)#
Return self>=value.
Attributes
- done#
True if all work on this stream has been done.
- is_non_blocking#
True if the stream is non_blocking. False indicates the default stream creation flag.
- null = <Stream 0 (device -1)>#
- priority#
Query the priority of a stream.
- ptds = <Stream 2 (device -1)>#
