Event

class torch.cuda.Event(enable_timing=False, blocking=False, interprocess=False)

Wrapper around a CUDA event.

CUDA events are synchronization markers that can be used to monitor the device’s progress, to accurately measure timing, and to synchronize CUDA streams.

The underlying CUDA events are lazily initialized when the event is first recorded or exported to another process. After creation, only streams on the same device may record the event. However, streams on any device can wait on the event.

Parameters

• enable_timing (bool, optional) – indicates if the event should measure time (default: False)

• blocking (bool, optional) – if True, wait() will be blocking (default: False)

• interprocess (bool) – if True, the event can be shared between processes (default: False)

elapsed_time(end_event)

Returns the time elapsed in milliseconds after the event was recorded and before the end_event was recorded.

classmethod from_ipc_handle(device, handle)

Reconstruct an event from an IPC handle on the given device.

ipc_handle()

Returns an IPC handle of this event. If not recorded yet, the event will use the current device.

query()

Checks if all work currently captured by event has completed.

Returns

A boolean indicating if all work currently captured by event has completed.

record(stream=None)

Records the event in a given stream.

Uses torch.cuda.current_stream() if no stream is specified. The stream’s device must match the event’s device.

synchronize()

Waits for the event to complete.

Waits until the completion of all work currently captured in this event. This prevents the CPU thread from proceeding until the event completes.

Note

This is a wrapper around cudaEventSynchronize(): see CUDA Event documentation for more info.

wait(stream=None)

Makes all future work submitted to the given stream wait for this event.

Use torch.cuda.current_stream() if no stream is specified.

Note

This is a wrapper around cudaStreamWaitEvent(): see CUDA Event documentation for more info.
