Mojo struct
SHMEMBuffer
struct SHMEMBuffer[dtype: DType]
A typed buffer allocated from the OpenSHMEM symmetric heap.
Provides a DevicePassable typed buffer backed by shmem_malloc so that
every GPU in the SHMEM job can directly address the allocation. Use
SHMEMBuffer as the storage backing for cross-node collective operations
where DeviceBuffer cannot be used because the memory must be symmetric.
Parameters
- dtype (
DType): The element data type of the buffer.
Implemented traits
AnyType,
DevicePassable,
ImplicitlyDeletable,
Sized
comptime members
device_type
comptime device_type = Pointer[Scalar[dtype], MutAnyOrigin, _safe=False]
Methods
__del__
def __del__(deinit self)
get_type_name
__len__
unsafe_ptr
def unsafe_ptr(self) -> Pointer[Scalar[dtype], MutAnyOrigin, _safe=False]
Returns:
Pointer[Scalar[dtype], MutAnyOrigin, _safe=False]
enqueue_copy_to
def enqueue_copy_to(self, dst_ptr: Pointer[Scalar[dtype], _safe=False])
Enqueues an asynchronous copy from this buffer to host memory.
This method schedules a memory copy operation from this device buffer to the specified host memory location. The operation is asynchronous and will be executed in the stream associated with this buffer's context.
Args:
- dst_ptr (
Pointer[Scalar[dtype], _safe=False]): Pointer to the destination host memory location.
def enqueue_copy_to(self, dst: HostBuffer[dtype])
Enqueues an asynchronous copy from this buffer to host memory.
This method schedules a memory copy operation from this device buffer to the specified host memory location. The operation is asynchronous and will be executed in the stream associated with this buffer's context.
Args:
- dst (
HostBuffer[dtype]): Host buffer to copy to.
Raises:
If the copy operation fails.
enqueue_copy_from
def enqueue_copy_from(self, src_ptr: Pointer[Scalar[dtype], _safe=False])
Enqueues an asynchronous copy from host memory to this buffer.
This method schedules a memory copy operation from the specified host memory location to this device buffer. The operation is asynchronous and will be executed in the stream associated with this buffer's context.
Args:
- src_ptr (
Pointer[Scalar[dtype], _safe=False]): Pointer to the source host memory location.
Raises:
If the copy operation fails.
def enqueue_copy_from(self, src: HostBuffer[dtype])
Enqueues an asynchronous copy from host memory to this buffer.
This method schedules a memory copy operation from the specified host memory location to this device buffer. The operation is asynchronous and will be executed in the stream associated with this buffer's context.
Args:
- src (
HostBuffer[dtype]): Host buffer to copy from.
Raises:
If the copy operation fails.
