Advise, Do Not Command
Prefetch moves data now; cudaMemAdvise instead tells the driver how you plan to use a region so it can place pages smartly over time.
The Call Shape
You pass the pointer, byte count, an advice flag, and a device id. The driver folds that hint into its future migration decisions.
cudaMemAdvise(data, bytes, advice, device);ReadMostly for Sharing
Use cudaMemAdviseSetReadMostly for data many devices read but rarely write. The driver can keep read-only copies on each side to avoid migration.
cudaMemAdvise(data, bytes,
cudaMemAdviseSetReadMostly, dev);PreferredLocation Pins a Home
With cudaMemAdviseSetPreferredLocation you nominate a home device for the pages. They resist drifting away even when another side touches them.
cudaMemAdvise(data, bytes,
cudaMemAdviseSetPreferredLocation, dev);AccessedBy Skips Migration
cudaMemAdviseSetAccessedBy says a device will reach this region, so the driver maps it there. Access goes over the bus instead of moving pages.
cudaMemAdvise(data, bytes,
cudaMemAdviseSetAccessedBy, dev);Hints Stop Ping-Pong
When two devices fight over the same pages, the right advice ends the bounce. You stabilize placement so data stops migrating back and forth.
Advice Is Persistent
Unlike a one-shot prefetch, advice persists on the region until you change it. It shapes every migration choice for the life of the buffer.
Each Advice Has an Unset
Every Set flag has a matching Unset form to revoke the hint. Clear advice when an access pattern changes so it does not mislead the driver.
cudaMemAdvise(data, bytes,
cudaMemAdviseUnsetReadMostly, dev);Advise Plus Prefetch
The two tools pair well. Set PreferredLocation to define the home, then prefetch to fill it, and migrations settle into a steady pattern.
Just a Hint, After All
Remember the name: advice is a suggestion, not a guarantee. The driver may override it, so always profile to confirm the placement helped.
Your Unified Memory Toolkit
You now hold three levers: one managed pointer, prefetch for timing, and advise for placement. Together they make Unified Memory both easy and fast.
Quick Check
Let us confirm how cudaMemAdvise differs from prefetching.
Recap: Memory Advice
You learned cudaMemAdvise hints like ReadMostly, PreferredLocation, and AccessedBy to guide page placement. Pair it with prefetch and profile. Well done! 🎯
