# MatDenseCUDAGetArrayRead

Provides read-only access to the CUDA buffer inside a dense matrix. The array must be restored with MatDenseCUDARestoreArrayRead() when no longer needed.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode MatDenseCUDAGetArrayRead(Mat A, const PetscScalar **a)

Not Collective

### Input Parameters

| A | - the matrix

Output Parameters

| array | - the GPU array in column major order

### Notes

Data can be copied to the GPU due to operations done on the CPU. If you need write only access, use MatDenseCUDAGetArrayWrite().
