FOR_GET_HBW_AVAILABILITY

Module

USE IFCORE

result = FOR_GET_HBW_AVAILABILITY( )

Results

The result type is INTEGER(4). The return value will be one of the following:

• FOR_K_HBW_AVAILABLE if HBW memory is available on this node.

• FOR_K_HBW_NO_ROUTINES if the routines needed for HBW memory allocation are not linked in (for example, there is no libmemkind).

• FOR_K_HBW_NOT_AVAILABLE if HBW memory is not available on this node.

If the return value indicates that High Bandwidth (HBW) memory is available, it does not guarantee that type of memory will be used for the allocated target through the life of the program. That is, if the node runs out of HBM memory, regular heap memory will be used.

Example

Consider the following:

program hbw_availability
  use ifcore
  integer(4) :: i4_hbw_availability

  i4_hbw_availability = for_get_hbw_availability()
  print *,"Results of for_get_hbw_availability():"
  select case (i4_hbw_availability)
      case (FOR_K_HBW_AVAILABLE)
          print *,"    HBM is available."
      case (FOR_K_HBW_NO_ROUTINES)
          print *,"    The libmemkind routines needed for hbw memory allocation are not linked-in."
      case (FOR_K_HBW_NOT_AVAILABLE)
          print *,"    HBM is NOT available on this node."
  end select
end program hbw_availability
