er. This implies the association between the 'async-argument' and the CUDA stream will be maintained for the lifetime of the program. However, this association can be changed through the use of the library function 'acc_set_cuda_stream'. When the function 'acc_set_cuda_stream' is called, the CUDA stream that was originally associated with the 'async' clause will be destroyed. Caution should be taken when changing the association as subsequent references to the 'async-argument' refer to a different CUDA stream. ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) See "Stream Management" in "CUDA Driver API", TRM-06703-001, Version 5.5, for additional information
