Based on the documentation, it seems that device interface based function (cu…) should be able to run on a context create using the CUDA runtime (cudaSetDevice). It’s not clear if I should call cuCtxGetCurrent first or not though. The problem is that when I try to run a cuda driver api function on a context created with cudaSetDevice I’m getting and unhandled exception error:
Unhandled exception at 0x77e415de in decoderBug.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00001308.
Any ideas, should this be possible, if so, am I missing something? (tried cuCtxGetCurrent, also tried calling cuCtxPushCurrrent on this context, made sure that cuCtxGetCurrent returns success and a non-zero context).
I’m trying to run the decoder code in this case, so what’s causing problems is:
cudaSetDevice(0);
cuvidCreateDecoder(&decoder, &videoDecodeCreateInfo); // <== this throws the exception
Tried with both CUDA 4.1 and 4.2 under windows 7 64bit.
Thanks.
