Hello. I attach patch updating pycuda.tools.DeviceData and pycuda.tools.OccupancyRecord to take new devices into consideration. I have tried to maintain "style" of those classes and introduced changes only when necessary. I have done changes using my old notes and NVIDIA Occupancy Calculator. Unfortunately I currently do not have access to Fermi to test those fully. Best regards. Tomasz Rybak

Cannot import both pycuda and pyopencl in the same program

by Bogdan Opanchuk

Hi all, I'm observing the following behavior with latest (git-fetched today) pycuda and opencl versions on Snow Leopard 10.6.4: $ python >>> import pycuda.driver >>> import pyopencl Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pyopencl-0.92beta-py2.6-macosx-10.6-i386.egg/pyopencl/__init__.py", line 3, in <module> import pyopencl._cl as _cl AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__dict__' $ python >>> import pyopencl >>> import pycuda.driver Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pycuda-0.94rc-py2.6-macosx-10.6-i386.egg/pycuda/driver.py", line 1, in <module> from _driver import * AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__dict__' This worked with stable versions. Does anyone know why is this happening? (One may ask why do I need both libraries in the same program. I have the set of tests for my module, which can use both Cuda and OpenCL, and it is convenient to run all the tests using the single file. Although it is not a critical issue, I'm just curious). Best regards, Bogdan

Slicing

by Thomas Wiecki

Hi, I want to run element-wise computations on different parts of an array. Loading each part of the array to device mem when needed turned out to use up a lot of time and not really speed things up compared to cpu. Instead, I want to once load the data array into device mem and provide pointers to which elements to look at (I do have the numpy view/slice of the array). I looked into different ways of doing this but can't seem to find the right approach, any help would be appreciated. ElementwiseKernel seems to support range and slicing now, however, my code is (cuda) c and I import it as a SourceModule which probably means I can't use the ElementwiseKernel approach. -Thomas

This is being worked on--see the recent announcement regarding the 'gpundarray' list. No precise time line, but potentially soon--faster if you help. :) Andreas

Multidimensional indexing

by Brett.Bryan＠csiro.au

Hi All Just wondering if there are plans/timelines for implementing the Numpy multidimensional and fancy indexing/slicing in PyCUDA? We use this feature a lot to do repetitive data processing. There is not much of a performance improvement from indexing on CPU then passing to GPU, processing, then passing back. It seems to me that passing a single multidimensional array to GPU memory then indexing/slicing and processing entirely on the GPU would provide substantially greater performance improvement? Thanks Regards Brett

textured layers

by Anthony LaTorre

Is it possible to allocate, copy, and bind memory to a layered texture in pycuda? If so, is there any example code?

pycuda fedora 15?

by Neal Becker

Just trying a new install on fedora 15. pycuda-0.94.2 cudatoolkit_4.0.17_linux_64_fedora13.run I think cuda is not usable on this setup. If I run make test in pycuda, I see: E CompileError: nvcc compilation of /tmp/tmp8bom2S/kernel.cu failed E [command: nvcc --cubin -arch sm_11 -I/usr/lib64/python2.7/site- packages/pycuda-0.94.2-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/pycuda/../include/pycuda kernel.cu] E [stderr: E In file included from /opt/cuda/bin/../include/cuda_runtime.h:59:0, E from <command-line>:0: E /opt/cuda/bin/../include/host_config.h:82:2: error: #error -- unsupported GNU version! gcc 4.5 and up are not supported!Traceback (most recent call last): But I don't think an older gcc4 is available - the only old compat packages are for gcc34.

I'm really not sure what happened there--I could've sworn I never saw these emails. In any case, I've merged your patch into the curand-wrapper-v2-from-tomasz branch, which I've also brought up to current master. Looks like we're almost done here--only initialization is missing. Thanks for your work, Andreas
