Detailed Description

The Memory Domain abstracts resources required for network communication, which typically includes memory, transport mechanisms, compute and network resources. It is an isolation mechanism that can be employed by the applications for isolating resources between multiple programming models. The attributes of the Memory Domain are defined by the structure uct_md_attr(). The communication and memory operations are defined in the context of Memory Domain.


Data Structure Documentation

◆ uct_md_attr

struct uct_md_attr

This structure defines the attributes of a Memory Domain which includes maximum memory that can be allocated, credentials required for accessing the memory, CPU mask indicating the proximity of CPUs, and bitmaps indicating the types of memory (CPU/CUDA/ROCM) that can be detected, allocated and accessed.

Examples
uct_hello_world.c.
Data Fields
struct uct_md_attr.cap cap
ucs_linear_func_t reg_cost

Memory registration cost estimation (time,seconds) as a linear function of the buffer size.

char component_name[UCT_COMPONENT_NAME_MAX]

Component name

size_t rkey_packed_size

Size of buffer needed for packed rkey

ucs_cpu_set_t local_cpus

Mask of CPUs near the resource

◆ uct_md_mem_attr

struct uct_md_mem_attr

This structure defines the attributes of a memory pointer which may include the memory type of the pointer, and the system device that backs the pointer depending on the bit fields populated in field_mask.

Data Fields
uint64_t field_mask

Mask of valid fields in this structure, using bits from uct_md_mem_attr_field_t.

ucs_memory_type_t mem_type

The type of memory. E.g. CPU/GPU memory or some other valid type. If the md does not support sys_dev query, then UCS_MEMORY_TYPE_UNKNOWN is returned.

ucs_sys_device_t sys_dev

Index of the system device on which the buffer resides. eg: NUMA/GPU If the md does not support sys_dev query, then UCS_SYS_DEVICE_ID_UNKNOWN is returned.

void * base_address

Base address of the allocation to which the provided buffer belongs to. If the md not support base address query, then the pointer passed to uct_md_mem_query is returned as is.

size_t alloc_length

Length of the whole allocation to which the provided buffer belongs to. If the md not support querying allocation length, then the length passed to uct_md_mem_query is returned as is.

int dmabuf_fd

Dmabuf file descriptor to expose memory regions across devices. Refer (https://01.org/linuxgraphics/gfx-docs/drm/driver-api/dma-buf.html). If the md does not support querying the fd object associated with the region, then dmabuf_fd is set to UCT_DMABUF_FD_INVALID by uct_md_mem_query(). It is the responsibility of the user to close the returned fd using close (2) when it's no longer needed.

size_t dmabuf_offset

Offset of the given address from the start of the memory region (identified by dmabuf_fd) backing the memory region being queried.

◆ uct_allocated_memory

struct uct_allocated_memory

This structure describes the memory block which includes the address, size, and Memory Domain used for allocation. This structure is passed to interface and the memory is allocated by memory allocation functions uct_mem_alloc.

Data Fields
void * address

Address of allocated memory

size_t length

Real size of allocated memory

uct_alloc_method_t method

Method used to allocate the memory

ucs_memory_type_t mem_type

type of allocated memory

uct_md_h md

if method==MD: MD used to allocate the memory

uct_mem_h memh

if method==MD: MD memory handle

◆ uct_rkey_bundle

struct uct_rkey_bundle

This structure describes the credentials (typically key) and information required to access the remote memory by the communication interfaces.

Data Fields
uct_rkey_t rkey

Remote key descriptor, passed to RMA functions

void * handle

Handle, used internally for releasing the key

Remote key type

◆ uct_mem_alloc_params_t

struct uct_mem_alloc_params_t
Data Fields
uint64_t field_mask

Mask of valid fields in this structure, using bits from uct_mem_alloc_params_field_t. Fields not specified in this mask will be ignored.

unsigned flags

Memory allocation flags, see uct_md_mem_flags If UCT_MEM_ALLOC_PARAM_FIELD_FLAGS is not specified in field_mask, then (UCT_MD_MEM_ACCESS_LOCAL_READ | UCT_MD_MEM_ACCESS_LOCAL_WRITE) is used by default.

void * address

If address is NULL, the underlying allocation routine will choose the address at which to create the mapping. If address is non-NULL and UCT_MD_MEM_FLAG_FIXED is not set, the address will be interpreted as a hint as to where to establish the mapping. If address is non-NULL and UCT_MD_MEM_FLAG_FIXED is set, then the specified address is interpreted as a requirement. In this case, if the mapping to the exact address cannot be made, the allocation request fails.

ucs_memory_type_t mem_type

Type of memory to be allocated.

struct uct_mem_alloc_params_t.mds mds
const char * name

Name of the allocated region, used to track memory usage for debugging and profiling. If UCT_MEM_ALLOC_PARAM_FIELD_NAME is not specified in field_mask, then "anonymous-uct_mem_alloc" is used by default.
