Hi, I'm trying to access GL textures from pyopencl. Here is my test program: import sys, os, pygame from OpenGL.GL import * sys.path.append("extern/pyopencl/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6") import pyopencl pygame.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1024, 768), pygame.HWSURFACE | pygame.OPENGL | pygame.DOUBLEBUF) if pyopencl.have_gl(): context = pyopencl.create_some_context() tex = glGenTextures(1) glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, tex) glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, 256, 256, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, None) cltex = pyopencl.GLTexture(context, pyopencl.mem_flags.READ_ONLY, GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, tex, 2) It fails with error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "cl.py", line 14, in <module> cltex = pyopencl.GLTexture(context, pyopencl.mem_flags.READ_ONLY, GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, tex, 2) pyopencl.LogicError: clCreateFromGLTexture2D failed: invalid context I thought that the problem might be in pyopencl's context creation, which doesn't take the GL context into account. I tried to fix it by adding appropriate CL_GL_CONTEXT_KHR, CL_GLX_DISPLAY_KHR and CL_CONTEXT_PLATFORM props to the context, but then I got another error "pyopencl.LogicError: clCreateFromGLTexture2D failed: invalid value". I can run kernels just fine with my setup, but this GL stuff won't work. What am I doing wrong?

OpenGL context auto-detection

by Paolo Simone Gasparello

I wrote this patch to facilitate the creation of an OpenCL context with GL sharing capabilities. I add the function gl_context_properties() which tries to detect a valid OpenGL context. If found, an array of cl context properties is returned. The current operating system and respective flags are automatically detected, so the programmer does not have to think about it. I modified the function create_some_context to try to add those flags when creating a new context. In other words, if you call create_some_context inside a yet valid OpenGL context, a GL sharing environment should be automatically created. (MAC NOT TESTED) Let me know if you think this patch could be useful, critiques and suggestions are well accepted :) -- Paolo Simone Gasparello

A bunch of small bugs

by Роман Донченко

Greetings, I've encountered a handful of bugs which are to small to warrant their own threads, so I'm lumping them together in this one. * CL_DRIVER_VERSION is apparenly inaccessible — there is no corresponding member in pyopencl.device_info. * pyopencl.Kernel.set_arg has the wrong signature in the doc at <http://documen.tician.de/pyopencl/runtime.html#pyopencl.Kernel.set_arg>: set_arg(self, arg). It should be set_arg(self, index, arg), or something similar. * pyopencl.Kernel.set_args is apparently not available in 0.91.5, but it isn't marked as new in 0.92 at <http://documen.tician.de/pyopencl/runtime.html#pyopencl.Kernel.set_args>. * pyopencl.kernel_work_group_info.COMPILE_WORK_GROUP_SIZE doesn't work (in 0.91.5, at least): >>> update_E_kernel.get_work_group_info(cl.kernel_work_group_info.COMPILE_WORK_GROUP_SIZE, >>> cl_device) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: No to_python (by-value) converter found for C++ type: class std::vector<unsigned __int64,class std::allocator<unsigned __int64> > Note that this is x64 Windows, and pyopencl is self-built using Boost 1.43.0. Generally yours, Roman.

Allocating shared buffer memory?

by Zachary Tong

Hello, I'm probably being dense, but I can't quite figure out use shared memory in PyOpenCL. I attempted to allocate a shared buffer using cl.buffer(), specifying the size but no hostbuf argument. The compiler, however, complains of bad arguments when attempting to invoke the kernel. Here is basically what I'm doing: sharedBuffer = cl.Buffer(ctx, mf.READ_WRITE, size = sharedSize) __kernel void computeAttractionOpt( <a bunch of __global args>, __local float * shared) prgOpt.computeAttractionOpt(queue, <bunch of args>, sharedBuffer) I'm clearly missing something, but am too new to PyOpenCL/OpenCL to catch it. Thanks =) -Zach

I added the include at the Mac Include section around line 14 and made sure that it really was included (by first adding a wrong file name and see the compile fail). The compile works, but the situation is the very same as described before. None of the GL_* variables are defined inside context_properties. Anything more I could try? Cheers, Holger

Mandelbrot example for PyOpenCL.

by Holger Rapp

hi, I was playing around with pyopencl lately after having no success of getting pycuda to work on Mac OS X with 64 bit python. So far, I am quite satisfied with it and I found it as easy to use as pycuda but conceptually easier to grasp. I am a little underwhelmed with the examples provided though. While playing around, I ported and improved upon a pycuda demo from the pycuda wiki [1]. I suggest adding it to the examples folder because it gives a very interactive possibility to feel the speed difference opencl can make. It can be found as the branch named mandelbrot_demo in the the following git repository: http://www.widelands.org/~sirver/code/pyopencl.git. [1] http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Examples/Mandelbrot Thanks for the great work. Pyopencl is wonderful work. Stay tuned for anther email, this time with a problem :(.

Compiling on Windows 7 x64 and GL interoperability

Dear developers, I managed to compile PyOpenCL on my system (Windows 7 64bit, Python 2.6 64bit, AMD Radeon 5870, Visual Studio 2008 Prof., boost 1.43).

Example weirdness?

by M.W.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am trying to understand how to work with pyopencl at the moment. First step was installing OpenCL 1.0 ATI-Stream-v2.1 (145) for Linux 64bit (Ubuntu 10.4). Then I tried running the example on the front page, with more output to check the results. What I got is the following: (I reduced the arrays to 10, so it is more convenient to read) #the random numbers print a [ 0.47965848 0.65881491 0.58329076 0.35741428 0.15876208 0.86317623 0.59547591 0.94181222 0.95227844 0.95763934] print b [ 0.01067493 0.36993611 0.75886482 0.44881606 0.28016761 0.28990912 0.9158904 0.20052643 0.17973194 0.1536222 ] #results as calculated by the kernel of the example: print a_plus_b [ 0.49033341 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. ] #and the real results print a + b [ 0.49033341 1.02875102 1.34215558 0.80623031 0.43892968 1.15308535 1.51136637 1.14233863 1.13201034 1.11126149] I tried pyopencl 0.91.5 and 0.92 beta, both gave me similar results. Is there something wrong with the example? Is there something wrong with my installation? (narray.py also just gives me one row of ones and the rest is filled with zeroes) Thank you for your time, Malte -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkxFteMACgkQZ2ILQVnPodDX4gCgy06DCpCWMj8rrd66dYMyTiOX FJ4AoPF7dEHus7k54kR7Wl/BbXTYkaYP =M3uj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

No more boost dependency

by Andreas Kloeckner

Hi all, I recently gave a tutorial on PyOpenCL at SciPy'10 [1], and 'please get rid of @$@#%@!! boost' was a rather frequent complaint. So I got to work, and it turned out that shipping the required part of Boost is a pretty reasonable proposition--with the shipped boost bits, the binary image only grows from 1 meg to 1.4 megs. (The source tarball does grow by about a meg, but I figure that's fine.) To repeat: no separate Boost installation is required any more for the (soon-to-be-released--I know I'm late) git version. Note that the install documentation hasn't been updated to reflect this yet. [1] http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2010/tutorials.html#gpus Enjoy, Andreas
