Hello. Debian has two sets of OpenCL headers: 1.1 available in main branch 1.2 available in "experimental" Trying to build PyOpenCL with 1.2 headers and 11-12 AMD drivers fails. PyOpenCL expects to have 1.2 functions in libOpenCL.so (e.g. for splitting devices) and library does not provide those functions. I have downloaded AMD drivers 851.6 (or 8-93-10 as they are called on the web page http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx under the "OpenCL™ 1.2 and Static C++ kernel language preview" and was able to install them on my 64-bit Debian. clinfo (utility to list OpenCL devices) lists all my devices (CPU and GPU) as 1.1, but I was able to build PyOpenCL with 1.2 headers. I guess that this testing driver exports needed functions, even though devices do not support them yet. At the same time unit tests fail on this setup. test_wrapper works OK. test_array shows 5 failed tests test_clmath shows 13 failed tests (see attachments) I will try to see into those problems; I am not sure whether this is problem with PyOpenCL or my setup, because at the same time I have changed my drivers and built new PyOpenCL with complex SIMD and Fortran support (previously I had PyOpenCL 402cc8340e934574de from 2012-01-22).

Re: [PyOpenCL] Error on calling kernel = pyopencl.Kernel(program, 'kernel_name')

by Lucas Beyer

Hello, I'm facing this exact same issue. The types of the arguments I am giving are: ('1st arg type: ', <class 'pyopencl.Program'>) ('2nd arg type: ', <type 'str'>) ('cl.Kernel type: ', <type 'Boost.Python.class'>) The exact error I see is the same, although a little less verbose on the types: Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in Kernel.__init__(Kernel, Program, str) did not match C++ signature: __init__(_object*, pyopencl::program, std::string) I get this error on both a linux system with python 2.7.1 in a virtual environment built using gcc4.6 aswell as a Mac OS X system running python 2.7.2 in a virtual environment built using gcc4.2. I tried out pyopencl-2011.1 aswell as pyopencl-2011.1, both have the same error. Creating the kernel using the attribute accessing way works though. If you do know the kernel name ahead of time (which doesn't seem to be Kiri's situation), the code looks like the following for a kernel named "trsm": kernel = program.trsm If you're in Kiri's situation and the kernel name is only known as a string variable, you can still use this method in the following way: kernel_name = "trsm" kernel = program.__getattr__(kernel_name) Hope this helps while we wait for a fix.

Incorrect hostbuf warning in Image constructor

by Luke Matkins

Hi all, It looks like the Image constructor at line 152 of pyopencl/__init__.py is incorrectly warning when hostbuf is None and no memory flags are passed. I believe line 149 should read "if hostbuf is not None and not \" instead. 139 class Image(_cl._ImageBase): 140 def __init__(self, context, flags, format, shape=None, pitches=None, 141 hostbuf=None, is_array=False, buffer=None): 142 143 if shape is None and hostbuf is None: 144 raise Error("'shape' must be passed if 'hostbuf' is not given") 145 146 if shape is None and hostbuf is not None: 147 shape = hostbuf.shape 148 149 if hostbuf is None and not \ 150 (flags & (mem_flags.USE_HOST_PTR | mem_flags.COPY_HOST_PTR)): 151 from warnings import warn 152 warn("'hostbuf' was passed, but no memory flags to make use of it.") Best, Luke

Building pyopencl under win7 without Boost.

by Cyril Giraudon

Hello, I am trying to build pyopencl without boost. The building process uses the following siteconf.py file : # siteconf.py CL_TRACE = False CL_ENABLE_GL = True CL_ENABLE_DEVICE_FISSION = False CL_INC_DIR = [r'C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v4.1\include', r'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Include'] CL_LIB_DIR = [r'C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v4.1\lib\Win32', r'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Lib'] CL_LIBNAME = ['OpenCL'] CXXFLAGS = ['/EHsc'] LDFLAGS = ['/FORCE'] But the installation process fails with the following message : # "python .\setup.py build" standard output .....

Is there any flag to be added in siteconf.py ? Thank you a lot, Cyril.

Your patch has effectively defeated kernel caching, which circumvented the code that gave you trouble. If you'd like to investigate further, could you please print prg_devs and devices where the assertion fails? Thanks, Andreas

enqueue_copy fails when copy to host and execution overlap

by Daniele Pianu

Hi all, I'm trying to speed up my code for AES encryption overlapping the encryption phase with the reading/writing into device memory as explained here http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/3_2_prod/toolkit/docs/Ope…, paragraph 3.1.3. Basically, I use two separate queues with the same context and split my data in two halves: while the first half is being encrypted by the first queue, the second one is moved into device memory. After the first half gets encrypted, I start reading the result on the first queue, and launch the encryption of the second half on the second queue. Finally, I read the encrypted second half from the second queue. Here's the code: halveSize=len(data)/2 memSize = len(data)-halveSize T0buff = cl.Buffer(self.context, clmem.READ_ONLY|clmem.COPY_HOST_PTR, hostbuf=T0) T1buff = cl.Buffer(self.context, clmem.READ_ONLY|clmem.COPY_HOST_PTR, hostbuf=T1) T2buff = cl.Buffer(self.context, clmem.READ_ONLY|clmem.COPY_HOST_PTR, hostbuf=T2) T3buff = cl.Buffer(self.context, clmem.READ_ONLY|clmem.COPY_HOST_PTR, hostbuf=T3) # Create input and output buffers inBuffers = [cl.Buffer(self.context, clmem.READ_ONLY, halveSize), cl.Buffer(self.context, clmem.READ_ONLY, remSize)] outBuffers = [cl.Buffer(self.context, clmem.WRITE_ONLY, halveSize), cl.Buffer(self.context, clmem.WRITE_ONLY, remSize)] # Non-blocking copy of the first halve cl.enqueue_copy(self.cmdQueues[0], inBuffers[0], np.fromstring(data[0:halveSize], dtype=np.uint8), is_blocking=False) self.cmdQueues[0].flush() # Launch kernel on the first halve program.aes_ecb(self.cmdQueues[0], (halveSize>>4,), (256,), keyschedBuffer, inBuffers[0], outBuffers[0], T0buff, T1buff, T2buff, T3buff) # Start copying the second halve cl.enqueue_copy(self.cmdQueues[1], inBuffers[1], np.fromstring(data[halveSize:], dtype=np.uint8), is_blocking=False) self.cmdQueues[0].flush() self.cmdQueues[1].flush() # Launch kernel on the second halve program.aes_ecb(self.cmdQueues[1], (remSize>>4,), (256,), keyschedBuffer, inBuffers[1], outBuffers[1], T0buff, T1buff, T2buff, T3buff) # Non-blocking read of the first halve result = np.empty(len(data), dtype=np.uint8) cl.enqueue_copy(self.cmdQueues[0], result, outBuffers[0], is_blocking=False) self.cmdQueues[0].flush() self.cmdQueues[1].flush() # Finally, read the second halve cl.enqueue_copy(self.cmdQueues[1], result, outBuffers[1], device_offset=halveSize) When I try to read the result of the first encryption (that is, I execute the enqueue_copy of outBuffers[0]) I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./pyclaes.py", line 40, in <module> exit(main()) File "./pyclaes.py", line 31, in main cipherText = enc.encrypt(args.key, data) File "/home/muogoro/Univ/sicurezza/tesina_gpu/pyclaes/pyclaes/pyclaes_ecb.py", line 401, in encrypt cl.enqueue_copy(self.cmdQueues[1], result, outBuffers[1], device_offset=halveSize) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyopencl-2011.2-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/pyopencl/__init__.py", line 780, in enqueue_copy return _cl._enqueue_read_buffer(queue, src, dest, **kwargs) pyopencl.LogicError: clEnqueueReadBuffer failed: invalid value I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any hint would be really appreciated :) Daniele

Unable to build pyopencl program in Eclipse

by Giridhar Tammana

Hi, I'm trying to use Eclipse to run/test a pyopencl program. If I run from command line I'm able to run the script but when I run or debug from Eclipse I see following error.

Error on calling kernel = pyopencl.Kernel(program, 'kernel_name')

by Giridhar Tammana

Hi, I'm trying to write my first pyopencl program. I have more than one kernel functions in kernel source. On executing following, prg = cl.Program(ctx, source).build() kern = cl.Kernel(prg, args.kernel_name) #args.kernel_name contains kernel function name I see following error, Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in Kernel.__init__(Kernel, Program, str) did not match C++ signature: __init__(struct _object *, class pyopencl::program, class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >) I tried casting to string for args.kernel_name but the error is same. Why am I seeing this? How can I chose which kernel to run at runtime? Thank you. Regards, Giri

Building pyopencl with icc

by Cyrus Harrison

Hello Everyone, I have been very happy using pyopencl built with gcc & I am trying to get pyopencl up + running on another platform using: icc NVIDIA Cuda 4.0 SDK python 2.6.4 numpy from github The first issue was resolved by adding "-no-gcc" to CFLAGS, so the CUDA SDK would avoid some gcc specific logic. After this I ran into issues with missing files in bpl-subset: For example, it appears the "edg" directory (which is needed for icc & other edg based compilers) is missing at following path: pyopencl-2011.1.2/bpl-subset/bpl_subset/boost/preprocessor/list/detail/ I looked at the bpl-subset repo and found the script that extracts the desired subset of boost. Running this on a fresh copy of the newest boost (1.48.0), I found bcp to be the culprit - for some reason it omits this directory. I replaced bpl-subset/bpl_subset/boost, with boost_1_48_0/boost, I made it further, however I hit some compiler errors: The first error, icc is confused by using PyArray_BYTES macro as an lvalue: src/wrapper/wrap_cl.hpp(2107): error: expression must be a modifiable lvalue PyArray_BYTES(result.get()) = reinterpret_cast<char *>(mapped); ^ I was able to get it to compile with the following code: PyArrayObject *py_ptr = (PyArrayObject*)result.get(); py_ptr->data = reinterpret_cast<char *>(mapped); The second error occurs in logic for creating a context with gl sharing: src/wrapper/wrap_cl.hpp(741): error: expected a statement else ^ I think the compiler takes a bad path though the current #defines. I stripped the code down to: if (prop == CL_CONTEXT_PLATFORM) { py::extract<const platform &> value(prop_tuple[1]); props.push_back( reinterpret_cast<cl_context_properties>(value().data())); } else throw error("Context", CL_INVALID_VALUE, "invalid context property"); And I was able to compile, but of course this is not a good general solution. At this point, the module compiles, but when I try to use pyopencl I get a runtime error due to a missing symbol: import pyopencl._cl as _cl ImportError: zzz/site-packages/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pyopencl-2011.1beta3-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/pyopencl/_cl.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN5boost6python17error_already_setE (typeinfo for boost::python::error_already_set) Could this be a consequence of using 1_48_0, instead of the modified version of 1_47_0 in the bpl_subset repo? Thanks for any help you can provide. I am eager to work though these issues, willing to test & contribute back any progress . -Cyrus Harrison
