# Initalization and Information

## gpu::getCudaEnabledDeviceCount

Returns the number of installed CUDA-enabled devices.

C++:`` int `gpu::``getCudaEnabledDeviceCount`()

Use this function before any other GPU functions calls. If OpenCV is compiled without GPU support, this function returns 0.

## gpu::setDevice

Sets a device and initializes it for the current thread.

C++:`` void `gpu::``setDevice`(int device)

  Parameters:

  - device – System index of a GPU device starting with 0.

If the call of this function is omitted, a default device is initialized at the fist GPU usage.

## gpu::getDevice

Returns the current device index set by `gpu::setDevice()` or initialized by default.

C++:`` int `gpu::``getDevice`()

## gpu::resetDevice

Explicitly destroys and cleans up all resources associated with the current device in the current process.

C++:`` void `gpu::``resetDevice`()

Any subsequent API call to this device will reinitialize the device.

## gpu::FeatureSet

Enumeration providing GPU computing features.

C++:`` enum `gpu::``FeatureSet`
  `FEATURE_SET_COMPUTE_10`
  `FEATURE_SET_COMPUTE_11`
  `FEATURE_SET_COMPUTE_12`
  `FEATURE_SET_COMPUTE_13`
  `FEATURE_SET_COMPUTE_20`
  `FEATURE_SET_COMPUTE_21`
  `GLOBAL_ATOMICS`
  `SHARED_ATOMICS`
  `NATIVE_DOUBLE`

## gpu::TargetArchs

class `gpu::``TargetArchs`

Class providing a set of static methods to check what NVIDIA* card architecture the GPU module was built for.

The following method checks whether the module was built with the support of the given feature:

> C++:`` static bool `gpu::TargetArchs::``builtWith`(FeatureSet feature_set)

>   Parameters:

>   - feature_set – Features to be checked. See `gpu::FeatureSet`.

There is a set of methods to check whether the module contains intermediate (PTX) or binary GPU code for the given architecture(s):

> C++:`` static bool `gpu::TargetArchs::``has`(int major, int minor)
> C++:`` static bool `gpu::TargetArchs::``hasPtx`(int major, int minor)
> C++:`` static bool `gpu::TargetArchs::``hasBin`(int major, int minor)
> C++:`` static bool `gpu::TargetArchs::``hasEqualOrLessPtx`(int major, int minor)
> C++:`` static bool `gpu::TargetArchs::``hasEqualOrGreater`(int major, int minor)
> C++:`` static bool `gpu::TargetArchs::``hasEqualOrGreaterPtx`(int major, int minor)
> C++:`` static bool `gpu::TargetArchs::``hasEqualOrGreaterBin`(int major, int minor)

>   Parameters:

>   - major – Major compute capability version.
>   - minor – Minor compute capability version.

According to the CUDA C Programming Guide Version 3.2: “PTX code produced for some specific compute capability can always be compiled to binary code of greater or equal compute capability”.

## gpu::DeviceInfo

class `gpu::``DeviceInfo`

Class providing functionality for querying the specified GPU properties.

    class CV_EXPORTS DeviceInfo
    {
    public:
        DeviceInfo();
        DeviceInfo(int device_id);

        string name() const;

        int majorVersion() const;
        int minorVersion() const;

        int multiProcessorCount() const;

        size_t freeMemory() const;
        size_t totalMemory() const;

        bool supports(FeatureSet feature) const;
        bool isCompatible() const;

        int deviceID() const;
    };

## gpu::DeviceInfo::DeviceInfo

The constructors.

C++:`` `gpu::DeviceInfo::``DeviceInfo`()

C++:`` `gpu::DeviceInfo::``DeviceInfo`(int device_id)

  Parameters:

  - device_id – System index of the GPU device starting with 0.

Constructs the `DeviceInfo` object for the specified device. If `device_id` parameter is missed, it constructs an object for the current device.

## gpu::DeviceInfo::name

Returns the device name.

C++:`` string `gpu::DeviceInfo::``name`()`const`

## gpu::DeviceInfo::majorVersion

Returns the major compute capability version.

C++:`` int `gpu::DeviceInfo::``majorVersion`()

## gpu::DeviceInfo::minorVersion

Returns the minor compute capability version.

C++:`` int `gpu::DeviceInfo::``minorVersion`()

## gpu::DeviceInfo::multiProcessorCount

Returns the number of streaming multiprocessors.

C++:`` int `gpu::DeviceInfo::``multiProcessorCount`()

## gpu::DeviceInfo::freeMemory

Returns the amount of free memory in bytes.

C++:`` size_t `gpu::DeviceInfo::``freeMemory`()

## gpu::DeviceInfo::totalMemory

Returns the amount of total memory in bytes.

C++:`` size_t `gpu::DeviceInfo::``totalMemory`()

## gpu::DeviceInfo::supports

Provides information on GPU feature support.

C++:`` bool `gpu::DeviceInfo::``supports`(FeatureSet feature_set)`const`

  Parameters:

  - feature_set – Features to be checked. See `gpu::FeatureSet`.

This function returns `true` if the device has the specified GPU feature. Otherwise, it returns `false` .

## gpu::DeviceInfo::isCompatible

Checks the GPU module and device compatibility.

C++:`` bool `gpu::DeviceInfo::``isCompatible`()

This function returns `true` if the GPU module can be run on the specified device. Otherwise, it returns `false` .

## gpu::DeviceInfo::deviceID

Returns system index of the GPU device starting with 0.

C++:`` int `gpu::DeviceInfo::``deviceID`()
