Only STARPU_CPU_DRIVER, STARPU_CUDA_DRIVER and STARPU_OPENCL_DRIVER are currently supported. \var starpu_driver::id The identifier of the driver. \struct starpu_vector_interface \brief vector interface for contiguous (non-strided) buffers \ingroup Initialization_and_Termination \struct starpu_conf \ingroup Initialization_and_Termination \brief structure for configuring StarPU. This structure is passed to the starpu_init() function in order to configure StarPU. It has to be initialized with starpu_conf_init(). When the default value is used, StarPU automatically selects the number of processing units and takes the default scheduling policy. The environment variables overwrite the equivalent parameters. \var starpu_conf::magic \private Will be initialized by starpu_conf_init(). Should not be set by hand. \var starpu_conf::sched_policy_name This is the name of the scheduling policy. This can also be specified with the STARPU_SCHED environment variable. (default = NULL). \var starpu_conf::sched_policy This is the definition of the scheduling policy. This field is ignored if starpu_conf::sched_policy_name is set. (default = NULL) \var starpu_conf::ncpus This is the number of CPU cores that StarPU can use. This can also be specified with the STARPU_NCPU environment variable. (default = -1) \var starpu_conf::ncuda This is the number of CUDA devices that StarPU can use. This can also be specified with the STARPU_NCUDA environment variable. (default = -1) \var starpu_conf::nopencl This is the number of OpenCL devices that StarPU can use. This can also be specified with the STARPU_NOPENCL environment variable. (default = -1) \var starpu_conf::nmic This is the number of MIC devices that StarPU can use. (default = -1) \var starpu_conf::nscc This is the number of SCC devices that StarPU can use. (default = -1) \var starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_bindid If this flag is set, the starpu_conf::workers_bindid array indicates where the different workers are bound, otherwise StarPU automatically selects where to bind the different workers. This can also be specified with the STARPU_WORKERS_CPUID environment variable. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::workers_bindid If the starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_bindid flag is set, this array indicates where to bind the different workers. The i-th entry of the starpu_conf::workers_bindid indicates the logical identifier of the processor which should execute the i-th worker. Note that the logical ordering of the CPUs is either determined by the OS, or provided by the hwloc library in case it is available. \var starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_cuda_gpuid If this flag is set, the CUDA workers will be attached to the CUDA devices specified in the starpu_conf::workers_cuda_gpuid array. Otherwise, StarPU affects the CUDA devices in a round-robin fashion. This can also be specified with the STARPU_WORKERS_CUDAID environment variable. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::workers_cuda_gpuid If the starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_cuda_gpuid flag is set, this array contains the logical identifiers of the CUDA devices (as used by cudaGetDevice()). \var starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_opencl_gpuid If this flag is set, the OpenCL workers will be attached to the OpenCL devices specified in the starpu_conf::workers_opencl_gpuid array. Otherwise, StarPU affects the OpenCL devices in a round-robin fashion. This can also be specified with the STARPU_WORKERS_OPENCLID environment variable. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::workers_opencl_gpuid If the starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_opencl_gpuid flag is set, this array contains the logical identifiers of the OpenCL devices to be used. \var starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_mic_deviceid If this flag is set, the MIC workers will be attached to the MIC devices specified in the array starpu_conf::workers_mic_deviceid. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::workers_mic_deviceid If the flag starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_mic_deviceid is set, the array contains the logical identifiers of the MIC devices to be used. \var starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_scc_deviceid If this flag is set, the SCC workers will be attached to the SCC devices specified in the array starpu_conf::workers_scc_deviceid. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::workers_scc_deviceid If the flag starpu_conf::use_explicit_workers_scc_deviceid is set, the array contains the logical identifiers of the SCC devices to be used. \var starpu_conf::bus_calibrate If this flag is set, StarPU will recalibrate the bus. If this value is equal to -1, the default value is used. This can also be specified with the STARPU_BUS_CALIBRATE environment variable. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::calibrate If this flag is set, StarPU will calibrate the performance models when executing tasks. If this value is equal to -1, the default value is used. If the value is equal to 1, it will force continuing calibration. If the value is equal to 2, the existing performance models will be overwritten. This can also be specified with the STARPU_CALIBRATE environment variable. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::single_combined_worker By default, StarPU executes parallel tasks concurrently. Some parallel libraries (e.g. most OpenMP implementations) however do not support concurrent calls to parallel code. In such case, setting this flag makes StarPU only start one parallel task at a time (but other CPU and GPU tasks are not affected and can be run concurrently). The parallel task scheduler will however still however still try varying combined worker sizes to look for the most efficient ones. This can also be specified with the STARPU_SINGLE_COMBINED_WORKER environment variable. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::mic_sink_program_path Path to the kernel to execute on the MIC device, compiled for MIC architecture. \var starpu_conf::disable_asynchronous_copy This flag should be set to 1 to disable asynchronous copies between CPUs and all accelerators. This can also be specified with the STARPU_DISABLE_ASYNCHRONOUS_COPY environment variable. The AMD implementation of OpenCL is known to fail when copying data asynchronously. When using this implementation, it is therefore necessary to disable asynchronous data transfers. This can also be specified at compilation time by giving to the configure script the option --disable-asynchronous-copy. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::disable_asynchronous_cuda_copy This flag should be set to 1 to disable asynchronous copies between CPUs and CUDA accelerators. This can also be specified with the STARPU_DISABLE_ASYNCHRONOUS_CUDA_COPY environment variable. This can also be specified at compilation time by giving to the configure script the option --disable-asynchronous-cuda-copy. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::disable_asynchronous_opencl_copy This flag should be set to 1 to disable asynchronous copies between CPUs and OpenCL accelerators. This can also be specified with the STARPU_DISABLE_ASYNCHRONOUS_OPENCL_COPY environment variable. The AMD implementation of OpenCL is known to fail when copying data asynchronously. When using this implementation, it is therefore necessary to disable asynchronous data transfers. This can also be specified at compilation time by giving to the configure script the option --disable-asynchronous-opencl-copy. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::disable_asynchronous_mic_copy indicate if asynchronous copies to MIC devices should be disabled \var starpu_conf::cuda_opengl_interoperability Enable CUDA/OpenGL interoperation on these CUDA devices. This can be set to an array of CUDA device identifiers for which cudaGLSetGLDevice() should be called instead of cudaSetDevice(). Its size is specified by the starpu_conf::n_cuda_opengl_interoperability field below (default = NULL) \var starpu_conf::n_cuda_opengl_interoperability \var starpu_conf::not_launched_drivers Array of drivers that should not be launched by StarPU. The application will run in one of its own threads. (default = NULL) \var starpu_conf::n_not_launched_drivers The number of StarPU drivers that should not be launched by StarPU. (default = 0) \var starpu_conf::trace_buffer_size Specifies the buffer size used for FxT tracing. Starting from FxT version 0.2.12, the buffer will automatically be flushed when it fills in, but it may still be interesting to specify a bigger value to avoid any flushing (which would disturb the trace). \fn int starpu_init(struct starpu_conf *conf) \ingroup Initialization_and_Termination This is StarPU initialization method, which must be called prior to any other StarPU call. It is possible to specify StarPU’s configuration (e.g. scheduling policy, number of cores, ...) by passing a non-null argument. Default configuration is used if the passed argument is NULL. Upon successful completion, this function returns 0. Otherwise, -ENODEV indicates that no worker was available (so that StarPU was not initialized). \fn int starpu_initialize(struct starpu_conf *user_conf, int *argc, char ***argv) \ingroup Initialization_and_Termination Alternative initialization method with argc and argv. This is used by MIC, MPI, and SCC implementation. Do not call starpu_init() and starpu_initialize() in the same program. \fn int starpu_conf_init(struct starpu_conf *conf) \ingroup Initialization_and_Termination This function initializes the conf structure passed as argument with the default values. In case some configuration parameters are already specified through environment variables, starpu_conf_init initializes the fields of the structure according to the environment variables. For instance if STARPU_CALIBRATE is set, its value is put in the .calibrate field of the structure passed as argument. Upon successful completion, this function returns 0. Otherwise, -EINVAL indicates that the argument was NULL. \fn void starpu_shutdown(void) \ingroup Initialization_and_Termination This is StarPU termination method. It must be called at the end of the application: statistics and other post-mortem debugging information are not guaranteed to be available until this method has been called. \fn int starpu_asynchronous_copy_disabled(void) \ingroup Initialization_and_Termination Return 1 if asynchronous data transfers between CPU and accelerators are disabled. \fn int starpu_asynchronous_cuda_copy_disabled(void) \ingroup Initialization_and_Termination Return 1 if asynchronous data transfers between CPU and CUDA accelerators are disabled. \fn int starpu_asynchronous_opencl_copy_disabled(void) \ingroup Initialization_and_Termination Return 1 if asynchronous data transfers between CPU and OpenCL accelerators are disabled. \fn void starpu_topology_print(FILE *f) \ingroup Initialization_and_Termination Prints a description of the topology on f. */
