Invalid command Queue when using big data sets on nVidia

by Justin Heinermann

Dear all, we are trying to implement a K nearest neighbor search on GPUs with PyOpenCL. The goal of the algorithm is: For a given target point, find the nearest points from a given set (training data). The distance between two points is computed by the squared euclidean distance. One of our implementations is a brute force approach, which aims at processing big data sets in parallel, e.g. 1 million training data and some millions of targets (test data). For every target point one kernel instance is created which finds the k nearest points out of the training points. Our problem is the following. Everything works fine for small data sets and the results are as expected on both GPU (GeForce GTX 650 with nVidia Driver 313.09.) and CPU(Intel Core i5-3450 with AMD APP SDK) running Ubuntu 12.10, PyOpenCL 2013.1-py2.7-linux-x86_64. But if we increase the size of the data sets, the GPU version crashes with the following error: > File "brutegpu.py", line 65, in query > cl.enqueue_copy(self.queue, d_min, self.d_min_buf).wait() > File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ > pyopencl-2013.1-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/pyopencl/__init__.py", > line 935, in enqueue_copy > return _cl._enqueue_read_buffer(queue, src, dest, **kwargs) > pyopencl.LogicError: clEnqueueReadBuffer failed: invalid command queue The CPU-Version still works fine with 1 million training points and 1 million of test points. Attached you can find the corresponding source code as working minimal example, which consists of on Host-Python-File and one OpenCL-Kernel-File. We would highly apprecriate any help - maybe we made a mistake which is already known to you. So the big question for us is: Why is it working on CPU and why isn't it working on the GPU? Are there nVidia-specific pitfalls for such big data sets? The compiler says: > ptxas info : Compiling entry function 'find_knn' for 'sm_30' > ptxas info : Function properties for find_knn > 0 bytes stack frame, 0 bytes spill stores, 0 bytes spill loads > ptxas info : Used 17 registers, 336 bytes cmem[0], 4 bytes cmem[3] Or are there any rules for using a kernel for big data sets such as setting the work group sizes or maximum memory usage? The error message "invalid command queue" is confusing and I wasn't able to find any helpful information (except that oftentimes "invalid command queue" means segfault, but i could not find any wrong array adress yet.) Maybe one of you could have a look at our code and finds some stupid mistake. We would be very grateful for every hint. Best regards, Justin Heinermann, University Oldenburg

About Beignet on Ivy-Bridge GPU

by Jerome Kieffer

Hello, Just a small message to tell you the "beignet" opencl driver has been released a bit earlier this week (version 0.3). This driver is using the GPU integrated in the two last generation of Intel processors. While I was not able to compile it, the debian team made a package which works. Thanks to them. In [1]: import pyopencl In [2]: ctx = pyopencl.create_some_context() Choose platform: [0] <pyopencl.Platform 'Intel(R) OpenCL' at 0x259dfc0> [1] <pyopencl.Platform 'Experiment Intel Gen OCL Driver' at 0x7fee1dc2e020> [2] <pyopencl.Platform 'AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing' at 0x7fee199df520> Choice [0]:1 Set the environment variable PYOPENCL_CTX='1' to avoid being asked again. In [3]: queue = pyopencl.CommandQueue(ctx) In [4]: import pyopencl.array, scipy.misc In [9]: lgpu=pyopencl.array.to_device(queue, scipy.misc.lena().astype("float32")) In [10]: inv_lena=255.0-lgpu In [13]: ilena=inv_lena.get() In [14]: ilena==255-scipy.misc.lena() Out[14]: array([[ True, True, True, ..., False, False, False], [ True, True, True, ..., False, False, False], [ True, True, True, ..., False, False, False], ..., [False, False, False, ..., False, False, False], [False, False, False, ..., False, False, False], [False, False, False, ..., False, False, False]], dtype=bool) It is not (yet) perfect but it starts to be useable.

Many kernel calls under Nvidia leads to Memory Leak?

by David Higgins

Hi guys, This is perhaps a tiny bit off topic, but the people here are the most experienced at actually using OpenCL in the real world. I'm running a simulation where I need to run the same OpenCL kernel an enormous number of times (greater than 10^8). It's the exact same kernel, it's the output of the previous kernel call transformed a tiny bit and fed back for an update. My code runs perfectly under AMD GPU and CPU, Intel and Apple GPU and CPU. But my compute cluster uses Nvidia under Linux and that's where I run into problems. If I run my code for long enough it eventually gobbles up all of the memory. It takes approx 250,000,000 kernel calls for this to happen each time but I need to run a simulation 2-3 times longer than this to get meaningful results. I've read that Nvidia prefers to handle resources in a way that seems a little odd to anyone who's played with the Linux kernel but I guess is somewhat in keeping with the OpenCL spec, if you're not so aware of how things are done elsewhere. This conversation was a lot of help to me http://www.khronos.org/message_boards/showthread.php/8777-Possible-Memory-l… My question is, has anyone on the list experienced this problem before? If you have, is it enough for me to actually implement an 'event' argument for my buffer reads and kernel launches and then the release this event after each utilisation? (It appears from the conversations online that Nvidia may be allocating these event handles even if you pass in a Null paramter to the calls and it's these event handles which are using up all of the memory.) I intend trying this approach tomorrow, but as the simulation takes over a day to reach memory saturation I'd rather somebody with experience feeds back to me anything they know about the issue. Thanks a lot! Dave.

Installation issue ...

by Jerome Kieffer

Hello, I know it is not the perfect place to ask this question but I am struggling with the installation of openCL on an AMD graphics card (Radeon 6670) under debian (unstable) After re-installation and 2 subsequent upgrade from debian 6->7->sid ... now the fglrx driver works, at least X starts and all OpenCL modules are installed. all in version 13.4 from AMD. When launching clinfo it just does nothing. Nothing in the logs, clinfo can be killed without harm. It is the same story with pyopencl.create_some_context() an strace of clinfo ends with: poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, 4294967295) = 1 ([{fd=6, revents=POLLOUT}]) writev(6, [{"\235\7\3\0\0\0\0\0\271\0\0\0", 12}, {NULL, 0}, {"", 0}], 3[ProcFGLGetDriverData] Extension ATIFGLEXTENSION: wrong screen number ) = 12 poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN}], 1, 4294967295 Does anybody of you have any idea ?

Once I did that, the compiler complained about not having GL/gl.h.I then installed the mesa drivers... and voila, the example is working. Thank you very much for your help! David

CL-GL interoperability

by xhaju.tm＠gmail.com

Hello, I'm having problems installing pyopencl-gl interoperability in my system: When I try to run the gl-interop example at pyopencl-2013.1/examples/ I get the following traceback: python gl_interop_demo.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "gl_interop_demo.py", line 81, in <module> initialize() File "gl_interop_demo.py", line 41, in initialize + get_gl_sharing_context_properties(), File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyopencl-2013.1-py2.7-linux- x86_64.egg/pyopencl/tools.py", line 426, in get_gl_sharing_context_properties (ctx_props.GL_CONTEXT_KHR, gl_platform.GetCurrentContext())) AttributeError: type object 'context_properties' has no attribute 'GL_CONTEXT_KHR' I have tried adding the option --no-cl-enable-gl, but configure.py does not accept it complaining that the option does not exist. Using --cl-enable-gl succeeds, but the example fails, and pyopencl.context_properties only has __module__ : pyopencl._cl OFFLINE_DEVICES_AMD : 16447 __reduce__ : <Boost.Python.function object at 0x212e550> to_string : <classmethod object at 0x21fb3d0> PLATFORM : 4228 __doc__ : None __init__ : <built-in function __init__> I'm runing in Ubuntu 13.04. The versions of python and numpy are python 2.7 numpy 1.7.1 Do you have any idea why this is happening? Thanks! David

PyOpenCL and PyGTK TLS issue

by Antoine Martin

Hi, Does anyone know why this works: python -c "import gtk;import pyopencl;context=pyopencl.create_some_context(False);pyopencl.Program(context,'').build()" But this does not: python -c "import pyopencl;context=pyopencl.create_some_context(False);pyopencl.Program(context,'').build();import gtk" It fails with: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 40, in <module> from gtk import _gtk ImportError: dlopen: cannot load any more object with static TLS Note: it is the build() call that ends up triggering this TLS conflict. Take it out and it works. The same thing happens with PyCUDA. Re-ordering the imports worked around this particular issue, but I seem to be getting other issues when I do that ('atexit' not firing and other weirdness). So this may have just papered over the real issue. How would I fix that? (preferably without touching pygtk2...) Thanks Antoine
