Nvidia GTC: PyCUDA talk, Meetup
by Andreas Klöckner
Hi all,
If you are attending Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference next week, there are
two things I'd like to point out:
- I'll be giving a talk about PyCUDA on Friday, October 2 at 2pm, where I'll
both introduce PyCUDA and talk about some exciting new developments. The talk
will be 50 minutes in length, and I'd be happy to see you there.
- Also, I'd like to propose a PyCUDA meetup on Thursday, October 1 at noon.
(ie. lunchtime) I'll be hanging out by the "Terrace" seminar room around that
time. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you in person.
See you next week,
Andreas

[PATCH] don't ignore OpenCL compiler parameters
by Michal Januszewski
Currently, any OpenCL compiler options passed to the build() method of a
Program object are ignored, as they are not passed down to the C++
wrapper code. Fix that by passing them correctly to _build().

CL version of CUDA's linear-memory textures
by Andreas Klöckner
Hi all,
I recently started wondering if there's a CL equivalent of CUDA's textures
bound to global GPU memory. After quite a bit of digging, I came up empty.
The idea is that you can read any old buffer object through the device's
texture unit, thereby making use of its cache--without having to copy the data
to an image first or being subject to an image's size constraints.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Andreas

Do you still have the backtraces from that? I'd like to gauge if it's
something that might come back and bite users.

basic usage
by Matt Gattis
Hi, I am having trouble with the basic usage of pyopencl. What is the
GLOBAL_SIZE parameter to the kernel calls? I can't seem to find a
description of this in the documentation. Perhaps it would help if anybody
knows where a few example programs could be found, outside of the three that
are included with the source?
Here's my failed attempt to multiply two square matrices:
import sys
import pyopencl as cl
from numpy import *
N = int(sys.argv[1])
precision = int(sys.argv[2])
m1 = random.rand(N,N).astype('float%s' % precision)
m2 = random.rand(N,N).astype('float%s' % precision)
print "m1:\n",m1
print "m2:\n",m2
ctx = cl.create_context_from_type(cl.device_type.ALL)
queue = cl.CommandQueue(ctx)
mf = cl.mem_flags
a_buf = cl.Buffer(ctx, mf.READ_ONLY | mf.COPY_HOST_PTR, hostbuf=m1)
b_buf = cl.Buffer(ctx, mf.READ_ONLY | mf.COPY_HOST_PTR, hostbuf=m2)
dest_buf = cl.Buffer(ctx, mf.WRITE_ONLY, m2.nbytes)
prg = cl.Program(ctx, """
__kernel void multwo(__global float *a,
__global float *b,
__global float *c)
{
int row = get_global_id(1);
int col = get_global_id(0);
float sum = 0.0f;
for (int i = 0; i < %d; i++) {
sum += a[row*%d+i] * b[i*%d+col];
}
c[row*%d+col] = sum;
}
"""%(N,N,N,N)).build()
prg.multwo(queue, (N,N), a_buf, b_buf, dest_buf)
product = zeros([N,N],dtype='float%s' % precision)
cl.enqueue_read_buffer(queue, dest_buf, product).wait()
print product
I get a bogus result:
[[ 1.21239019e+002 9.03297802e-315 0.00000000e+000]
[ 0.00000000e+000 0.00000000e+000 0.00000000e+000]

benchmark
by Craig Swank
Hello,
I am just looking at opencl for the first time today. Looks pretty
neat. I added the following lines to benchmark-all.py:
c_result2 = numpy.empty_like(a)
time1 = time()
c_result2 = a + b
c_result2 = c_result2 * (a + b)
c_result2 = c_result2 * (a / 2.0)
time2 = time()
print "Execution time of test without OpenCL, but with numpy: ", time2
- time1, "s"
To do the same calculations the way numpy was designed to do, and got
the following results (edited for readability):
Execution time of test without OpenCL: 23.8333249092 s
Execution time of test without OpenCL, but with numpy:
7.41481781006e-05 s
Execution time of test: 0.014881 s
The numpy way is quite a bit faster. My question is, is there a use
case where the use of opencl would overtake numpy for these types of
calculations? Or maybe I just have a sucky GPU? I don't know.

thanks James / Macosx 10.6 / segmentation fault
by Jassin MEKNASSI
Thank you very much James.
The prob is i was using MacPython wich installs in /Library/Frameworks/
PyhonFrameworks and does not build in 64bit
macports python is only 64bit
when i know run the test i get test_wrapper.py Segmentation fault
Maybe i should recapitulate for SnowLeopard:
make sure /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ python is used
or that
that file which python outputs 3 architectures

Im trying to get started with PyOpenCL but am running into some

dont really know where to go from here. Im pretty excited to start
working with pyopencl so any help would be great

Ah, didn't realize that was a symlink.
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is definitely set on the shell you're running
"python test_wrapper.py" from?
You could check if that symbol it's looking for is exported by the
boost in /usr/local/lib/libboost_python.dylib:
dyldinfo -export /usr/local/lib/libboost_python.dylib | grep
__ZNK5boost6python7objects21py_function_impl_base9max_arityEv
