# MatDenseCUDAPlaceArray

Allows one to replace the GPU array in a `MATDENSECUDA` matrix with an array provided by the user. This is useful to avoid copying an array into a matrix.

## Synopsis

    PetscErrorCode MatDenseCUDAPlaceArray(Mat mat, const PetscScalar *array)

Not Collective

## Input Parameters

- mat - the matrix

- array - the array in column major order

## Note

You can return to the original array with a call to `MatDenseCUDAResetArray()`. The user is responsible for freeing this array; it will not be freed when the matrix is destroyed. The array must have been allocated with `cudaMalloc()`.
