Segmentation fault in pyopencl.image_from_array

by Jerome Kieffer

Dear Python/OpenCL community, I am pretty new (py)opencl and encountered a problem, maybe it a lack of understanding of openCL, but I found strange python seg-faults: test program: #!/usr/bin/python import numpy, pyopencl ctx = pyopencl.create_some_context() data=numpy.random.random((1024,1024)).astype(numpy.float32) img = pyopencl.image_from_array(ctx, ary=data, mode="r", norm_int=False, num_channels=1) print img System: debian sid: pyopencl2012.1 (the same code works with debian stable and v2011.2) Here is the backtrace obtained with GDB: 0x0000000000000000 in ??

create Event from cl_event

by Gregor Thalhammer

Dear Andreas, I am currently working on a cython based wrapper for the OpenCL FFT library from AMD: https://github.com/geggo/gpyfft For this I need to create a pyopencl Event instance from a cl_event returned by the library. I attached a patch against recent pyopencl that adds this possibility, similar to the from_cl_mem_as_int() method of the MemoryObject class. Could you please add this to pyopencl. Thanks for your help Gregor

New version and prefix scan problems

by Tomasz Rybak

Sorry if there are two copies of this message. I have sent it to the list but received no confirmation (nor any error) and checked that archive does not show any message from January. I can see that there is already new version (2013.1) in docs, marked "in development". I would like for it not to be released before fixing problems with parallel prefix scan. Problems with scan are only visible on APU Loveland. They do not occur on ION, nor on GTX 460. I do not have access to machine with NVIDIA CC 3.x so I cannot test prefix scan there. I first encountered it in August, and mentioned them in email to the list from 2012-08-08 ("Python3 test failures"). Only recently I had some time and eagerness to look closer into them. Tests still fail on recent git version c31944d1e81a. Failing tests are now in test_algorithm.py, in third group (marked scan-related, starting in line 418). I'll describe my observations of test_scan function. My APU has 2 Computing Units. GenericScanKernel chooses k_group_size to be 4096, max_scan_wg_size to be 256, and max_intervals to 6. The first error occurs when there is enough work to fill two Computing Units - in my case 2**12+5. It looks like there is problem with passing partial result from computations occurring on fist CU to the second one. Prefix sum is computed correctly on the second half of the array but starting with the wrong point. I have printed interval_results array and I have observed that error (difference between the correct value of the interval's first element and actual one) is not the value of any of the elements of interval_results, nor it is difference between interval_results elements. On the other hand difference between real and wanted value is similar (i.e. in the same range) to the difference between interval_results[4] and interval_results[3]. In the test I have run just now the error is 10724571 and the difference is 10719275; I am not sure if this is relevant though. Errors are not repeatable - sometimes they occur for small arrays (e.g. for 2**12+5) sometimes for larger ones (test I have run right now failed for ExclusiveScan of size 2**24+5). The tests' failures also depend on order of tests - after changing order of elements of array scan_test_counts I got failures for different sizes, but always for sizes larger than 2**12. It might be some race condition, but I do not understand new scan fully and cannot point my finger at one place. If there is any additional test I can perform please let me know. I'll try to investigate it further but I am not sure whether it'll work. Best regards. -- Tomasz Rybak GPG/PGP key ID: 2AD5 9860 Fingerprint A481 824E 7DD3 9C0E C40A 488E C654 FB33 2AD5 9860 http://member.acm.org/~tomaszrybak

Python3 support of get_gl_sharing_context_properties on linux raises NotImplementedError => easy fix

by marko

Hi Using Python 3, sys.platform returns "linux" on my machine (whereas Python 2 returns "linux2"). The code in tools.py checks only for linux2. After I patched this line if sys.platform == "linux2": to if sys.platform == "linux2" || sys.platform == "linux": everythink worked out nicely in my project. Was this simply forgotten or is there a particular reason that get_gl_sharing_context_properties is not supported on Python3/linux? Best, Marko

Re: [PyOpenCL] Handling Multiple kernels

by Calle Snickare

Hello again, I checked again and I need to reduce my number of threads run by a factor 4 not to get "out of memory" error. This seems very strange since the idea is that I want to use the same memory for seeds etc when running the initialize kernel as running my main kernel. Is there something wrong in my kernel invocation?

best device

by Jerome Kieffer

Dear OpenCL users, I am looking for a way to find the best device in a computer in order to be able to select it for processing. PyOpenCL offers me a max_clock_frequency and a max_compute_units for the device. Nice! Unfortunately on a dual-Xeon5520 + Fermi; the product max_clock_frequency*max_compute_units is in favour of the CPU but the GPU is clearly faster ! I have calculated the FLOPS per compute unit per Hz for a few devices and I got: NVidia Fermi (GTX580): 64 FLOPS/Unit/Hz NVidia Tesla (GT285): 24 FLOPS/Unit/Hz NVidia GT9600: 24 FLOPS/Unit/Hz Intel CPU: 4 FLOPS/Unit/MHz (I usually get less) According to some readings on the web for Kepler cards, it should be 384 FLOPS/Unit/MHz (unchecked) I have no figures for AMD cards, I would be interested in getting some of them; and would like to be able to discriminate the various NVidia generations within pyopencl (via compute_capability_major_nv & compute_capability_minor_nv?) Any ideas are welcome. Cheers, -- Jérôme Kieffer Data analysis unit - ESRF

Fwd: Handling Multiple kernels

by Calle Snickare

Hello, I am currently trying to implement Ranlux in one of my programs. My kernel will be re-run several times with the same seeds, so I don't want to include the Ranlux initialization in it as I only want to do this once (right?). I also want to make sure to use the same memory between the runs. So I figure that I solve this by having two kernels: one kernel that initializes Ranlux (run this once at the beginning), as well as my "main" kernel. They will both be written in the same c-file. Here is some of the code. At first I had some strange errors getting it to work. Now I can get it to run, but it feels like it runs out of memory quicker than it should. Am I approaching this the wrong way? Host code: ctx = cl.create_some_context() queueProperties = cl.command_queue_properties.PROFILING_ENABLE queue = cl.CommandQueue(ctx, properties=queueProperties) mf = cl.mem_flags dummyBuffer = np.zeros(nbrOfThreads * 28, dtype=np.uint32) ins = cl.array.to_device(queue, (np.random.randint(0, high = 2 ** 31 - 1, size = (nbrOfThreads))).astype(np.uint32)) ranluxcltab = cl.Buffer(ctx, mf.READ_WRITE, size=0, hostbuf=dummyBuffer) kernelCode_r = open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + 'ranlux_test_kernel.c', 'r').read() kernelCode = kernelCode_r % replacements prg = (cl.Program(ctx, kernelCode).build(options=programBuildOptions)) kernel_init = prg.ranlux_init_kernel kernelObj_init = kernel_init(queue, globalSize, localSize, ins.data, ranluxcltab) kernelObj_init.wait() kernel = prg.ranlux_test_kernel kernelObj = kernel(queue, globalSize, localSize, ins.data, ranluxcltab) kernelObj.wait() Kernel Code: #pragma OPENCL EXTENSION cl_khr_fp64 : enable #define RANLUXCL_SUPPORT_DOUBLE #include "pyopencl-ranluxcl.cl" // Ranlux source-code #define RANLUXCL_LUX 4 __kernel void ranlux_init_kernel(__global uint *ins, __global ranluxcl_state_t *ranluxcltab) { //ranluxclstate stores the state of the generator. ranluxcl_state_t ranluxclstate; ranluxcl_initialization(ins, ranluxcltab); } __kernel void ranlux_test_kernel(__global uint *ins, __global ranluxcl_state_t *ranluxcltab) { uint threadId = get_global_id(0) + get_global_id(1) * get_global_size(0); //ranluxclstate stores the state of the generator. ranluxcl_state_t ranluxclstate; //Download state into ranluxclstate struct. ranluxcl_download_seed(&ranluxclstate, ranluxcltab); double randomnr; randomnr = ranluxcl64(&ranluxclstate); /* DO STUFF */ //Upload state again so that we don't get the same //numbers over again the next time we use ranluxcl. ranluxcl_upload_seed(&ranluxclstate, ranluxcltab); } Cheers, Calle

pyopencl.array.dot and 2D-arrays

by Филипп Жинкин

Hi all, is it correct that pyopencl.array.dot not aimed to cover numpy.dot functionality (since for matrices it's not working as matrix-mul as dot function from numpy does)? Are there any plans to add default matrix-multiplication routine into PyOpenCL? Or maybe it's already there and I've just missed it? :) Thanks, Filipp.
