Bug in register_host_memory

Hello.
I've been packaging PyCUDA for Debian.
I run all the tests to ensure that package works on Python 2
and Python 3. All tests pass except for on from test_driver.py:

sending a device pointer through cython to cuda C
by Rok Roskar
Hello,
I've got a host-side CUDA library wrapped in Cython and I'd like to use
it on a device-side array that I've allocated in python with PyCuda.
However, I'm completely at a loss as to how I should pass the device
pointers from the python side of things to the C library. In CUDA the
device pointers look like normal pointers, but in PyCuda I get a
DeviceAllocation object -- how can I pass the pointer address
information to the C library through Cython? What types should I use in
the Cython wrapper?
thanks!

Passing float3 (or other vector types) to prepared_call CUDA kernels
by Rowland Ben
Hey,
Just started working with PyCUDA, and already very taken with it, it makes a whole load of things very simple. Already after a couple of days I have a working program with OpenGL interop using PySide to provide the GUI and CUDA doing 3D texture lookups. One thing I haven’t been able to figure out yet though is how to pass vector arguments to CUDA kernels. I have a function definition like this:
__global__ void extract_slice(uchar4 *destPbo,
unsigned int width,
unsigned int height,
float3 center,
float3 xDelta,
float3 yDelta)
but I can’t make this work with pycuda passing in float3 variables like this:
self.kernel.prepared_call(grid_dimensions, (16, 16, 1),
target_mapping.device_ptr(),
self.width(),
self.height(),
pycuda.gpuarray.vec.make_float3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
pycuda.gpuarray.vec.make_float3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0),
pycuda.gpuarray.vec.make_float3(0.0, 1.0, 0.0)
)
so instead I have had to resort to just passing in 9 floats instead of 3 float3 variables, these are then reconstructed into float3s in the kernel and everything works correctly. While this is a solution for the moment I would really like to figure out how to pass vector types like this, and if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Customize compiler cache directory
by Healther.astro
OHey pycuda-list,
I have some kernels which will be used over and over again, but as the compile time of them is pretty high (something like half an hour, for some hundred kernels). I would like to ensure that they are stored permanently on my computer, as opposed to the storage in the tmp folder, where they are deleted at some time.
Is there a way to customize the folder in which those compiler caches are stored?
And is there a way to find out which of the folders belong to which kernel?
Cheers,
Andreas Baumbach

you're probably the first to try this with Py3. :) Python 3 support in
PyCUDA is fairly recent after all. If you could post/pull-request your
fixes as well as tests for the stuff you're stuck on, I'd be happy to
take a look and help get this fixed.

Thrust interoperability- cgen/ codepy errors on python3.2
by Graham Mills
Hi all,
I looked back about a year in the archives and couldn't find anything on this. I just downloaded and built cgen 2013.1.2 and codepy 2013.1.2 today. When using thrust as in the example at http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Examples/ThrustInterop , several python version-related errors crop up in cgen and codepy modules, such as
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/codepy-2013.1.2-py3.2.egg/codepy/toolchain.py", line 153, in get_dependencies
lines = join_continued_lines(stdout.split("\n"))
TypeError: Type str doesn't support the buffer API
and
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/cgen-2013.1.2-py3.2.egg/cgen/__init__.py", line 893, in get_namespace_name
checksum.update(line)
TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing
for instance. I manually fixed a few of the issues in my installation, but there are a few I cannot figure out. Retracing my steps back to building the installation, when build_py_2to3 gets called in setup.py it misses these lines (and others). Manually calling 2to3 doesn't catch them, either.
Is there another release of codepy or cgen I should be using with python 3.2?
Thanks,

Hi,
pytools tests fail with python-3.
Is this expected? Are pytools ready for py3?
Please find attached a build.log

I am running PyCuda on a debian6 computer with a GeForce Titan. Driver is 319.32 and Cuda 4.2.
My only problem is when I try to use scikit.cuda (for CuFFT) where sm_35 is not recognized.
The issue is probably located around the old version of cuda.
If you stick to pure PyCuda, it runs fine.

Re: [PyCUDA] cuda-gdb doesn't stop at breakpoint
by Tomasz Rybak
I've just tested on GeForce 460 with CUDA 5.5 and drivers 325.15,
and your example worked without any problems - kernel was stopped
at doublify.
I assume that you have installed all programs (drivers, CUDA, PyCUDA)
from Debian repositories, or have you downloaded, compiled and
installed something yourself?
What hardware are you running it on?
And, which might be the stupid question, were you running
this from X or from console? Anything card below Kepler with Compute
Capabilities 3.5 cannot at the same time be used to display X
and to debug. So if you have only one card which you use for
displaying your X session on monitor, you cannot use the same
card for debugging. This might explain problems you described.
Best regards.
