Hi, Brian --- Thanks for the pointer. Just to make sure I understand what's going on, from the CUDA documentation, the correct sequence seems to be:
(1) Initialize the runtime, which creates a context. (2) Attach PyCUDA to this context from the runtime (3) Run kernel code (4) Detach Is this right? If so, is there something about PyCUDA that makes it difficult to do this, or is it just a matter of setting up and tearing down the driver instance in the right order? (Another thing I am not totally clear on is what PyCUDA's lifecycle is for managing contexts. Does it leave a single context up as long as the python process runs, or does it tear them down as soon as there aren't any references to gpuarray instances?) I admit to being something of a novice with PyCUDA and CUDA generally, so sorry for pestering the list. ^L On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 10:17 AM, Bryan Catanzaro <bryan.catanz...@gmail.com > wrote: > It's not a solution, but the workaround I've been using is to use > context.detach() rather than context.pop() at the end of the > computation.
