cupy.cuda.ExternalStream¶

class cupy.cuda.ExternalStream(ptr)¶

CUDA stream.

This class allows to use external streams in CuPy by providing the stream pointer obtained from the CUDA runtime call. The user is in charge of managing the life-cycle of the stream.

Parameters: ptr (intptr_t) – Address of the cudaStream_t object.
Variables: ptr (intptr_t) – Raw stream handle.

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.

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.
