I want to use DMA asynchronously while the stream processor is computing. So i use "calCtxRunProgram()" to run a computing on the GPU, and use "calMemCopy()" to strat a DMA transfer. But i find they do not finish out of order, and can not inprove the performance.

 The code and result are like followPS:tempMem is on the remote memory, temp1Mem is on the local memory, and the kernel "func" does not access tempMem or temp1Mem)

1.code:

calCtxRunProgram(&e, ctx, func, &domain);

while(calCtxIsEventDone(ctx,e)==CAL_RESULT_PENDING)

    count++;

calMemCopy(&e1,ctx,tempMem,temp1Mem,0);

while(calCtxIsEventDone(ctx,e1)==CAL_RESULT_PENDING)

    count1++;

result:

 count=1579; count1=2807;

2.code:

calCtxRunProgram(&e, ctx, func, &domain);

calMemCopy(&e1,ctx,tempMem,temp1Mem,0);

while(calCtxIsEventDone(ctx,e1)==CAL_RESULT_PENDING)

    count1++;

result:

  count1=4450;

3.code:

calCtxRunProgram(&e, ctx, func, &domain);

calMemCopy(&e1,ctx,tempMem,temp1Mem,0);

while(calCtxIsEventDone(ctx,e)==CAL_RESULT_PENDING)

    count++;

result:

  count1=4392;

From the three tests, i find in code2 and code3"calCtxRunProgram()" and "calMemCopy()" were always done together and the finish time is  the sum of the two.  Who can tell me the reason and how can i use  DMA asynchronously while the stream processor is computing?Please!

It's a good question for better performance.

Does someone progamming in CAL?

xxhlyf,

Could you post some more information about your OS, Card, SDK, driver version?

Is there anybody know how to use DMA asynchronously while the stream processor is computing?   Give me a example code please!
