This API is for trial use and may be changed in later versions. Therefore, it cannot be used in commercial products.

Applicability

Product	Supported
Atlas 350 Accelerator Card	☓
Atlas A3 training product / Atlas A3 inference product	√
Atlas A2 training product / Atlas A2 inference product	☓
Atlas 200I/500 A2 inference product	☓
Atlas inference product	☓
Atlas training product	☓

Function

Activates the reserved virtual memory. Zero-copy can be enabled only when the activated memory is used as the input and output of a communication operator.

Prototype

      
           HcclResult HcclCommActivateCommMemory(HcclComm comm, void *virPtr, size_t size, size_t offset, aclrtDrvMemHandle handle, uint64_t flags)

Parameters

Parameter	Input/Output	Description
comm	Input	HCCL communicator. You are advised to use the largest-scale communicator within the server, that is, the communicator that covers the maximum number of devices.
virPtr	Input	Address of the virtual memory to be activated, that is, the target virtual memory address for mapping when you call aclrtMapMem to map the physical memory to the virtual memory.
size	Input	Size of the memory to be activated, in bytes.
offset	Input	Reserved field. Currently, only the value 0 is supported.
handle	Input	Handle of the allocated physical memory, that is, the handle of a device's physical memory allocated by calling aclrtMallocPhysical.
flags	Input	Reserved field. Currently, only the value 0 is supported.

Returns

HcclResult: HCCL_SUCCESS on success, or else failure.

Constraints

The address of the virtual memory to be activated must be within the address range set in HcclCommSetMemoryRange.
The virtual memory address cannot overlap with the address of the activated virtual memory.
