I don't have a working example that I can easily send you since the MatShell I have involves a lot of other code. 

Essentially, I am trying to do something like this:

bool graphCreated = false;
cudaGraph_t graph;
cudaGraphExec_t instance;
if (!graphCreated)
    {
        gpuErrchk(cudaStreamBeginCapture(s, cudaStreamCaptureModeGlobal));
        PetscCall(MatComputeOperator(ShellMat, MATDENSECUDA, &DenseMat));
        gpuErrchk(cudaStreamEndCapture(s, &graph));
        gpuErrchk(cudaGraphInstantiate(&instance, graph, NULL, NULL, 0));
        graphCreated = true;
    }
gpuErrchk(cudaGraphLaunch(instance, s));
gpuErrchk(cudaStreamSynchronize(s));
gpuErrchk(cudaGraphExecDestroy(instance));
gpuErrchk(cudaGraphDestroy(graph));


The ShellMat context has the CUDA Stream "s", and that stream is used in the shell computations. If I replace the MatComputeOperator() call with 

for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) 
    MatMult(ShellMat, x, y);

the code works inside the CUDA graph. I tried modifying the MatConvert_Shell() code and wrapping the main for loop that computes each column with the graph, but this still doesn't work.

I think if you have a MatShell that does some trivial computation (like return y = x), that should be a good enough example to start with. 

For now, I ended up making my own version of MatComputeOperator that doesn't involve Mats or Vecs in the main loop (working directly with arrays) so I could have control over the stream operations.

Thanks,

I haven't used CUDA graph with PETSc.  Do you happen to have a working example so we can debug?

I have a MatShell object that I want to convert to a MATDENSECUDA. Normally, I use MatComputeOperator for this. However, I would now also like to use a CUDA Graph so that all the calls to MatMult are captured. I can wrap a code like

for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
    MatMult(A, x,y);

in a CUDA Graph, and it runs fine. If I try to wrap MatComputeOperator in a graph, I get runtime errors like
 cuda error 906 (cudaErrorStreamCaptureImplicit) : operation would make the legacy stream depend on a capturing blocking stream

I tried modifying the MatConvert_Shell routine to only put the graph around the main for loop, but that still gives the same errors. Is there a way to use CUDA Graphs here (either through a modified MatConvert_Shell or otherwise)?
