Mac/9400M error: pycuda._driver.LogicError: cuDeviceGetAttribute failed: not found
by Ian Ozsvald
When running dump_properties.py on my MacBook with a 9400M I get the
following error:
pycuda._driver.LogicError: cuDeviceGetAttribute failed: not found
dump_properties.py works fine on my WinXP machine with a 9800GT.
Here's the error:
python dump_properties.py

This isn't stopping me, I'm just flagging it as an oddity. Let me know if
there's anything I should debug?

Windows runtime error "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found."
by Ian Ozsvald
Following on from the Mac problem yesterday (which is now solved - thanks
Andreas!) I'm having related trouble on Windows XP with this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "demo.py", line 3, in <module>
import pycuda.driver as cuda
File
"C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pycuda-0.94beta-py2.6-win32.egg\pycuda\driver.py",
line 1, in <module>
from _driver import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
C:\Documents and Settings\parc\My
Documents\Downloads\pycuda_git\pycuda\examples>
This report has the same error:
http://www.mail-archive.com/pycuda@tiker.net/msg00656.html
but unlike there I see an 'nvcuda.dll' in my <system32>.
Any thoughts on how I can get past this would be very happily received!
Versions:
Windows XP
Python 2.6.4
distribute.py in use rather than setuptools
pyCUDA: 0.94beta (3 days old)
CUDA 2.3 installed and NVIDIA's CUDA demos run
Numpy 1.4.0
Boost: 1.41 built from source with MS VC 2008 (Visual Studio 9)
Visual Studio 2008 (AKA Visual Studio 9) Team
GFX: NVIDIA 9800GT
Instructions taken from:

Comparison of speed-ups for measure_gpuarray_speed_random.py on 9800GT vs 9400M
by Ian Ozsvald
Below I'm posting the results for running:
python measure_gpuarray_speed_random.py
on a Windows XP desktop with a 9800GT card vs a MacBook with a 9400M card.
Whilst any real speed-ups are likely to depend on the type of problem you're
solving I figure that sharing these numbers might help others decide what
kind of card they might need to experiment with.
I think I'm right in saying that this particular test just fills
increasingly large arrays with random numbers via the GPU and the CPU so
mostly we're looking at memory operations rather than raw processing power?
I'm using:
Python 2.6
pyCUDA 0.94beta (as of the first week of January)
numpy 1.4
Boost 1.38 (Windows) and 1.41 (Mac)
CUDA 2.3
"python measure_gpuarray_speed_random.py" on Windows XP using 9800GT
with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU at 2.66GHz (though only 1 CPU seems to be
used), 1GB RAM

Conclusion?
Is it ok to say that the 9800GT GPU is about 10* faster than the 9400M for
this test for the 16777216 problem (the time taken is 0.017 vs 0.15)? Is
the timing dependent on the bus speed at all, or is the GPU time purely down
to the GPU's speed?
Cheers,
Ian.

time.time() percision is very low on windows
by Alexander
Precision of time.time() function on windows is about 15ms,
which makes it almost useless for profiling. This function
is used for 'time_kernel=True' launches.
Is it possible to change it to time.clock(),
which works much better on windows?

Get PyCuda 0.93 working on Snow Leopard
by Krunal Patel
Hi there,
my name is Krunal and I'm a new user to PyCUDA. I'm helping Nicolas out on his research. My first order of business was to get PyCUDA installed on my iMac Snow Leopard. Here were my experiences:
1) stick with the version of python installed by Mac, don't upgrade to the latest. The default version is 2.6.1. The main reason for this is because I couldn't figure out how to run a newly upgraded version of python in 32-bit mode.
2) I tried 1.38-1.41 versions of Boost. At the end, the one that worked for me was 1.39.
Here is how I got things working:
1) first follow: http://wiki.tiker.net/BoostInstallationHowto
but do this:
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$HOME/pool --libdir=$HOME/pool/lib --with-libraries=signals,thread,python
./bjam address-model=32_64 architecture=x86 variant=release link=shared install
(the architecture stuff comes from http://old.nabble.com/Boost-on-Snow-Leopard-failing-to-build-32-bit-targe... and is the key to not getting the architecture is invalid when running test_driver.py)
2) then follow: http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Installation/Mac
but do this:
python configure.py --boost-inc-dir=/Users/k5patel/pool/include/boost-1_39/ --boost-lib-dir=/Users/k5patel/pool/lib/ --boost-python-libname=boost_python --cuda-root=/usr/local/cuda/
siteconf.py shoud look like:
BOOST_INC_DIR = ['/Users/k5patel/pool/include/boost-1_39/']
BOOST_LIB_DIR = ['/Users/k5patel/pool/lib/']
BOOST_COMPILER = 'gcc42'
BOOST_PYTHON_LIBNAME = ['boost_python-xgcc42-mt']
BOOST_THREAD_LIBNAME = ['boost_thread-xgcc42-mt']
CUDA_TRACE = False
CUDA_ROOT = '/usr/local/cuda/'
CUDA_ENABLE_GL = False
CUDADRV_LIB_DIR = []
CUDADRV_LIBNAME = ['cuda']
CXXFLAGS = []
LDFLAGS = []
change setup.py so it has this:
if 'darwin' in sys.platform:
# prevent from building ppc since cuda on OS X is not compiled for ppc
if "-arch" not in conf["CXXFLAGS"]:
conf["CXXFLAGS"].extend(['-arch', 'i386','-m32'])
if "-arch" not in conf["LDFLAGS"]:
conf["LDFLAGS"].extend(['-arch', 'i386','-m32'])
the key is -m32 as indicated by http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.cuda/1089
3) do sudo make install. ensure that there are no warnings around the line of "different architecture"
4) once built, go to the test directory and type in:
python test_driver.py
hopefully it passes
don't type:
sudo python test_driver.py as indicated elsewhere
I hope this could be of help to those who couldn't get PyCUDA 0.93 working on their system. The main problem has to do with SL's 64-bitness and CUDA's lack of it (and hence PyCUDA)....

use PyCUDA or PyOpenCL without Visual Studio
by Bogdan
Hello,
I am interested in testing the GPU processing capabilities of a Quadro FX 570
card. I would like to know if it's possible to install and use PyCUDA (and/or
PyOpenCL) without Visual Studio on a Windows computer. The instructions at
http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Installation/Windows don't indicate such an option.
On a related note, when I check the current driver version for the card, I see
8.16.11.9100 (which seems to have CUDA capabilities). How is this related to the
190.38 version that NVIDIA provides on the Download CUDA page?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Bogdan

Optical ray tracing
by Elliot Hallmark
Hey there.
I've been working with others on a non-sequential optical ray tracing
program in python (modeling optical systems, not rendering fancy images).
I was curious about using cuda to speed up processing, but I do not know
enough about what GPU's do well and not so well. Also, I wonder if there
are any open projects that have already written code that would work for
this.
The program currently takes an array of origins and directions. i use 5,000
but more like 100,000 rays would be excellent. And then intersections
between those rays and all of the dozen or so optical elements are
calculated. truth tests determine which of all of those intersections have
children (ie, are the real rays). this iterates till all of the rays are
absorbed or at infinity.
Soon, that whole process will be iterated many times while the computer
tries to optimise the optical system.
even with only 5,000 rays, 5000 rays*12 elements*10 bounces*30 iterations
for optimization quickly becomes a lot of processing.
Is this problem suited for cuda? Is there any active or open development on
this already? Also, I wonder how much of our code would have to be rewritten
to accommodate this. There is talk of rewriting the intersection
calculations in faster C, and if it is a comparable ammount of work to do it
in cuda instead then great! If we should have just written everything in
pycuda to start with, then I guess I'll be back if I ever want to write a
new raytracer.
thanks.
Our raytracer can be found at:

Where oh where is my console output?
by ssteinerX＠gmail.com
Hi!
First, let me apologize for e-mailing Andreas -- I only found the mailing list after spelunking around (doesn't seem to be on the wiki!).
I'm debugging some long-running apps that dump lots of good info to the console.
Then, I need to debug some little tiny piece of code and use pudb.
I know my console output is buffered somewhere 'cause I see it go by when I let pudb run for a while with no breakpoints.
Can I switch to it to see what was last printed to the console from pudb?
Seems so obvious but I don't see anything in the mailing list except for something about logging and cuda.
Thanks,

How do I make a multichannel 1D texture?
by Dan Piponi
I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a 4 channel 1D texture for
use with tex1D.
I can easily make a 2D 4 channel texture, from an MxNx4 numpy 3D
array, using make_multichannel_2d_array and bind_array_to_texref. The
third axis of the array has size 4 and becomes the 4 channels in a
float4 texture. Works fine with tex2D.
But I can't find a sequence of calls that takes an Nx4 numpy 2D array,
with size 4 in the second axis, and turns it into a 4 channel 1D
texture suitable for use with tex1D. I can't find something
corresponding to make_multichannel_1d_array.
So starting with an Nx4 2D numpy array, what sequence of calls do I
need to make to get 1D texture with float4 elements?
