<p>Compute capabilities:</p>
<p>By default the extension will be compiled to run on all archs of the cards visible during the
building process of the extension, plus PTX. If down the road a new card is installed the
extension may need to be recompiled. If a visible card has a compute capability (CC) that’s
newer than the newest version for which your nvcc can build fully-compiled binaries, Pytorch
will make nvcc fall back to building kernels with the newest version of PTX your nvcc does
support (see below for details on PTX).</p>
<p>You can override the default behavior using <cite>TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST</cite> to explicitly specify which
CCs you want the extension to support:</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST="6.1</span> <span class="pre">8.6"</span> <span class="pre">python</span> <span class="pre">build_my_extension.py</span></code>
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST="5.2</span> <span class="pre">6.0</span> <span class="pre">6.1</span> <span class="pre">7.0</span> <span class="pre">7.5</span> <span class="pre">8.0</span> <span class="pre">8.6+PTX"</span> <span class="pre">python</span> <span class="pre">build_my_extension.py</span></code></p>
<p>The +PTX option causes extension kernel binaries to include PTX instructions for the specified
CC. PTX is an intermediate representation that allows kernels to runtime-compile for any CC >=
the specified CC (for example, 8.6+PTX generates PTX that can runtime-compile for any GPU with
CC >= 8.6). This improves your binary’s forward compatibility. However, relying on older PTX to
provide forward compat by runtime-compiling for newer CCs can modestly reduce performance on
those newer CCs. If you know exact CC(s) of the GPUs you want to target, you’re always better
off specifying them individually. For example, if you want your extension to run on 8.0 and 8.6,
“8.0+PTX” would work functionally because it includes PTX that can runtime-compile for 8.6, but
“8.0 8.6” would be better.</p>
<p>Note that while it’s possible to include all supported archs, the more archs get included the
slower the building process will be, as it will build a separate kernel image for each arch.</p>
<p>Note that CUDA-11.5 nvcc will hit internal compiler error while parsing torch/extension.h on Windows.
To workaround the issue, move python binding logic to pure C++ file.</p>

<p>Relocatable device code linking:</p>
<p>If you want to reference device symbols across compilation units (across object files),
the object files need to be built with <cite>relocatable device code</cite> (-rdc=true or -dc).
An exception to this rule is “dynamic parallelism” (nested kernel launches) which is not used a lot anymore.
<cite>Relocatable device code</cite> is less optimized so it needs to be used only on object files that need it.
Using <cite>-dlto</cite> (Device Link Time Optimization) at the device code compilation step and <cite>dlink</cite> step
help reduce the protentional perf degradation of <cite>-rdc</cite>.
Note that it needs to be used at both steps to be useful.</p>
<p>If you have <cite>rdc</cite> objects you need to have an extra <cite>-dlink</cite> (device linking) step before the CPU symbol linking step.
There is also a case where <cite>-dlink</cite> is used without <cite>-rdc</cite>:
when an extension is linked against a static lib containing rdc-compiled objects
like the [NVSHMEM library](<a class="reference external" href="https://developer.nvidia.com/nvshmem">https://developer.nvidia.com/nvshmem</a>).</p>
<p>Note: Ninja is required to build a CUDA Extension with RDC linking.</p>

<dd><p>Load a PyTorch C++ extension just-in-time (JIT).</p>
<p>To load an extension, a Ninja build file is emitted, which is used to
compile the given sources into a dynamic library. This library is
subsequently loaded into the current Python process as a module and
returned from this function, ready for use.</p>
<p>By default, the directory to which the build file is emitted and the
resulting library compiled to is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><tmp>/torch_extensions/<name></span></code>, where
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><tmp></span></code> is the temporary folder on the current platform and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><name></span></code>
the name of the extension. This location can be overridden in two ways.
First, if the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TORCH_EXTENSIONS_DIR</span></code> environment variable is set, it
replaces <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><tmp>/torch_extensions</span></code> and all extensions will be compiled
into subfolders of this directory. Second, if the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">build_directory</span></code>
argument to this function is supplied, it overrides the entire path, i.e.
the library will be compiled into that folder directly.</p>
<p>To compile the sources, the default system compiler (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">c++</span></code>) is used,
which can be overridden by setting the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CXX</span></code> environment variable. To pass
additional arguments to the compilation process, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">extra_cflags</span></code> or
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">extra_ldflags</span></code> can be provided. For example, to compile your extension
with optimizations, pass <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">extra_cflags=['-O3']</span></code>. You can also use
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">extra_cflags</span></code> to pass further include directories.</p>
<p>CUDA support with mixed compilation is provided. Simply pass CUDA source
files (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.cu</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.cuh</span></code>) along with other sources. Such files will be
detected and compiled with nvcc rather than the C++ compiler. This includes
passing the CUDA lib64 directory as a library directory, and linking
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cudart</span></code>. You can pass additional flags to nvcc via
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">extra_cuda_cflags</span></code>, just like with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">extra_cflags</span></code> for C++. Various
heuristics for finding the CUDA install directory are used, which usually
work fine. If not, setting the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CUDA_HOME</span></code> environment variable is the
safest option.</p>

<dd><p>Load a PyTorch C++ extension just-in-time (JIT) from string sources.</p>
<p>This function behaves exactly like <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.utils.cpp_extension.load" title="torch.utils.cpp_extension.load"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">load()</span></code></a>, but takes its sources as
strings rather than filenames. These strings are stored to files in the
build directory, after which the behavior of <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.utils.cpp_extension.load_inline" title="torch.utils.cpp_extension.load_inline"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">load_inline()</span></code></a> is
identical to <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.utils.cpp_extension.load" title="torch.utils.cpp_extension.load"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">load()</span></code></a>.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/master/test/test_cpp_extensions_jit.py">the
tests</a>
for good examples of using this function.</p>
<p>Sources may omit two required parts of a typical non-inline C++ extension:
the necessary header includes, as well as the (pybind11) binding code. More
precisely, strings passed to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cpp_sources</span></code> are first concatenated into a
single <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.cpp</span></code> file. This file is then prepended with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">#include</span>
<span class="pre"><torch/extension.h></span></code>.</p>
<p>Furthermore, if the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">functions</span></code> argument is supplied, bindings will be
automatically generated for each function specified. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">functions</span></code> can
either be a list of function names, or a dictionary mapping from function
names to docstrings. If a list is given, the name of each function is used
as its docstring.</p>
<p>The sources in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cuda_sources</span></code> are concatenated into a separate <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.cu</span></code>
file and prepended with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch/types.h</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cuda.h</span></code> and
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cuda_runtime.h</span></code> includes. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.cpp</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.cu</span></code> files are compiled
separately, but ultimately linked into a single library. Note that no
bindings are generated for functions in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cuda_sources</span></code> per se. To bind
to a CUDA kernel, you must create a C++ function that calls it, and either
declare or define this C++ function in one of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cpp_sources</span></code> (and
include its name in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">functions</span></code>).</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.utils.cpp_extension.load" title="torch.utils.cpp_extension.load"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">load()</span></code></a> for a description of arguments omitted below.</p>

<li><p><strong>cpp_sources</strong> – A string, or list of strings, containing C++ source code.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>cuda_sources</strong> – A string, or list of strings, containing CUDA source code.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>functions</strong> – A list of function names for which to generate function
bindings. If a dictionary is given, it should map function names to
docstrings (which are otherwise just the function names).</p></li>
<li><p><strong>with_cuda</strong> – Determines whether CUDA headers and libraries are added to
the build. If set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code> (default), this value is
automatically determined based on whether <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cuda_sources</span></code> is
provided. Set it to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code> to force CUDA headers
and libraries to be included.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>with_pytorch_error_handling</strong> – Determines whether pytorch error and
warning macros are handled by pytorch instead of pybind. To do
this, each function <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code> is called via an intermediary <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_safe_foo</span></code>
function. This redirection might cause issues in obscure cases
of cpp. This flag should be set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code> when this redirect
causes issues.</p></li>
