Invalid context for GL
by mt
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?

Hi Olivier,
First of all, sorry for the long delay in replying, and thanks for your
message. Also, please note that I have cc'd the pyopencl mailing list--I
hope that's ok with you.

A collaboration like this certainly sounds like a good idea.
If we insist that such a collaboration centers around shared code, that
would depend on a common templating technology.
According to
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Template_engine_(web)
that limits us to StringTemplate [1] and Mustache [2,3]. If you know any
other candiates, please point them out. Unfortunately, Mustache makes
many things that are simple in Mako (such as unrolling a loop based on a
count) rather difficult because of the absence of actual logic,
StringTemplate less so.
[1] http://www.stringtemplate.org/
[2] http://mustache.github.com/
[3] http://mustache.github.com/mustache.5.html
In any case, since potentially significant bits of (non-shared) host
code need to be written for each (shared) kernel, I think that explicit
kernel code sharing might be a bit too heavy-handed, and that we can
probably get by with occasional mutual 'manual' stealing.
All of pyopencl's code will show up in this directory:
http://git.tiker.net/pyopencl.git/tree/HEAD:/pyopencl
If you can point us to a permanent place where your code is availble,
then I'd say a mutually beneficial future of theft is assured. :)
Thanks again for being in touch,
Andreas

I'll answer with a collection of a few facts:
- It is possible to use OpenCL on the CPU only, by way of AMD's OpenCL
implementation.
http://developer.amd.com/gpu/AMDAPPSDK/Pages/default.aspx
This will work even if no GPU is available. (Apple Snow Leopard and
later also always have a CPU implementation.)
- No open-source implementation of OpenCL currently exists, but there is
one in the works here:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/clover/tree/
- Making PyOpenCL work even if no CL implementation is available is
explicitly not one of the projects goals. This would amount to
building a CL implementation, which would best be accomplished in a
separate project.
- The mailing list for PyOpenCL is pyopencl(a)tiker.net, not
pycuda(a)tiker.net.
HTH,

Failure to allocate multiple contexts pyopencl 0.92beta + NVIDIA CUDA toolkit 3.2
by Jonathan Perry
Hi
I run pyopencl on 64-bit linux 2.6.35 with CUDA toolkit 3.2.
When trying to allocate Contexts from different processes with pyopencl
0.92beta, I got "out of host memory" errors on creating new Contexts,
and a segmentation fault on the running Context.
Same code with pyopencl 2011.1beta3 worked flawlessly, solving my problem.
Sorry if this issue is already known. Hope this can help others avoid this.
Cheers,
Jonathan.

I am using Windows 7/64, Python 2.6, VS2008, Boost1.44, AMD 5870 and I can not

Redundant passing of context to CL arrays
by Andreas Kloeckner
Hi all,
I've made a small, backward-compatible change to the CL Array API:
In places where the context can be inferred (such as when a queue is
passed at the same time), passing it is now deprecated and can be
omitted in the future. This is obviously not only convenient, but also
logical. If this is a bad idea for some reason I can't see, now would be
a good time to let me know. :)
The code for this is in git as of a few minutes ago.

I would prefer option 2.
Installing an additional package such as Mako is not a big deal if you
administrate a single-user system. But if you have a cluster with many users
and a large number of request for new software or don't have administrative
privileges and want to install things as user additional dependencies make
life harder.

I had to specify the name of the OpenCL library:
./configure.py --cl-libname=IBMOpenCL --cl-inc-dir=/usr/include
That was all I had to do.
