You could measure bandwidths to between host/presumed gpu1/presumed gpu2 to ascertain where the data actually resides if you have doubts about that/don't trust the API. Andreas

Create gpuarrays on different GPUs

by Zhangsheng Lai

Hi, I'm trying to create different GPU arrays on different GPUs. ``` import pycuda import pycuda.driver as cuda from pycuda.compiler import SourceModule import pycuda.curandom as curandom d = 2 ** 15 cuda.init() dev1 = cuda.Device(1) ctx1 = dev1.make_context() curng1 = curandom.XORWOWRandomNumberGenerator() x1 = curng1.gen_normal((d,d), dtype = np.float32) # so x1 is stored in GPU 1 memory ctx1.pop() # clearing ctx of GPU1 dev2 = cuda.Device(1) ctx2 = dev2.make_context() curng2 = curandom.XORWOWRandomNumberGenerator() x2 = curng2.gen_normal((d,d), dtype = np.float32) # so x2 is stored in GPU 2 ``` with the setup above, I tried to check by poping ctx2 and pushing ctx1, can I access x1 and not x2 and vice versa, popping ctx1 and pushing ctx2, I can access x2 and not x1. However, I realise that I can access x1 and x2 in both contexts. Thus I'm wondering if my assumptions of x1 stored in GPU1 and x2 stored in GPU2 are correct, or if it is actually the UVA and peer access that allows me to access both x1 and x2 even if only one of the two ctx is active. Thanks, Zhangsheng

In your case, you seem to have fairly old GPU ("sm_21") that's no longer supported by your compiler (nvcc). Downgrading the CUDA toolkit may help. Andreas

Example SparseSolve

by MarbHarmsen

I'm currently trying to build a simple FEA solver in python using an incomplete Cholesky decomposition preconditioned conjugate gradient method. I have exported an example stiffness matrix from my old (and slow) code into a symmetric .mtx file. This matrix is imported into the example code at https://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Examples/SparseSolve. Running the code resulted in errors. The first part was solved by pymetis. However now a new problem appeared. I get a type error: "TypeError: No registered converter was able to produce a C++ rvalue of type int from this Python object of type numpy.int32". The full traceback: In [1]: runfile('/home/bram/Documenten/TUDelft/Thesis/Phyton/topopt/src/cgCUDATest.py', wdir='/home/bram/Documenten/TUDelft/Thesis/Phyton/topopt/src') starting... building...

Invalid resource handle error

by Zhangsheng Lai

Hi, I'm trying to do some updates to a state which is a binary array. gputid is a GPU thread class (https://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Examples/MultipleThreads) and it stores the state and the index of the array to be updated in another class which can be accessed with gputid.mp.x_gpu and gputid.mp.neuron_gpu respectively. Below is my kernel that takes in the gputid and performs the update of the state. However, it the output of the code is not consistent as it runs into errors and executes perfectly when i run it multiple times. The error msg makes no sense to me: File "/root/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pycuda/driver.py", line 447, in function_prepared_call func._set_block_shape(*block) pycuda._driver.LogicError: cuFuncSetBlockShape failed: invalid resource handle My code: def local_update(gputid): mod = SourceModule(""" __global__ void local_update(int *x_gpu, float *n_gpu) { int tid = threadIdx.x + blockDim.x * blockIdx.x; if (tid == (int)(n_gpu[0])) { x_gpu[tid] = 1 - x_gpu[tid]; } } """) gputid.ctx.push() x_gpu = gputid.mp.x_gpu n_gpu = gputid.mp.neuron_gpu func = mod.get_function("local_update") func.prepare("PP") grid = (1,1) block = (gputid.mp.d,1,1) func.prepared_call(grid, block, x_gpu, n_gpu) gputid.ctx.pop() print ('1Pain')

PyCUDA ImportError

by MarbHarmsen

My goal is to speed up my python FEA (finite elements analysis) with my quadro GPU. I however have issues when I import pycuda.autoinit or pycuda.driver into my python code. See the example from my Console: **code In [6] import pycuda.autoinit Traceback (most recent call last): File "<ipython-input-7-78816ba4a0fc>", line 1, in <module> import pycuda.autoinit File "/home/bram/.anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pycuda-2017.1-py3.6-linux-x86_64.egg/pycuda/autoinit.py", line 2, in <module> import pycuda.driver as cuda File "/home/bram/.anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pycuda-2017.1-py3.6-linux-x86_64.egg/pycuda/driver.py", line 5, in <module> from pycuda._driver import * # noqa ImportError: libcurand.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /***code Some details of my setup: - HP Zbook Studio G3 (Quadro M1000M) Ubuntu 18.04 - Cuda 9.1 (.run installer)(I added the path variables to ~/.bashrc - nvidia-driver-390 as driver pycuda 2017.1 (from anaconda) I've tried the solutions proposed by people encountering similar issues when using tensorflow-gpu: It was proposed to make a softlink from libcurand.se.8.0 to the libcurand.se.9.1 using the terminal: "user@device:~$ sudo ln -s libcublas.so.9.1 libcublas.so.8.0" This did not help however. I've checked the installation of CUDA by running a simple vectorAdd example in Exlips. That worked without any issues and when profiling it showed that the gpu was working as expected. I probably made a mistake somewhere and tell me if you need more information -- Sent from: http://pycuda.2962900.n2.nabble.com/
