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:

Thanks for your help.
If you are not able to reproduce this bug, I should mention it to debian.

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

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.

Is your CPU new enough to be supported by the Intel CL SDK? If not, try
the AMD one--this is a bit more compatible with old CPUs.

git repositories on git.tiker.net

Is everything OK with git repositories on git.tiker.net?
When I tried to pull changes I got
$ git pull
From http://git.tiker.net/trees/pycuda
+ 2e20f2c...00cf720 master -> origin/master (forced update)
Already up-to-date.
Cloning PyCUDA repository gives last change from 2011-12-07:
commit 00cf72000946edc7b6f684748be9a888e3aef20e
Author: Andreas Kloeckner <inform(a)tiker.net>
Date: Wed Dec 7 10:23:20 2011 -0500
Bump version (for CUDA 3.1 fix), release.
Status on pyopencl gives:
$ git status
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 544 commits.

nothing to commit (working directory clean)
At the same time repositories on github have changes from Feb 2013.
What's going on? As I have git.tiker.net mentioned as master
repository in my packages, should I change it to github?
Best regards.

Performance results
by Antonio Beamud Montero
Hi all again:
I've created a test to measure performance... You can test it, the code
is here:
http://pastebin.com/Nye5Axm8
I'm using two arrays and the results, only changing the size of the
first only in two elements, give me a lot of performance loss in the gpu
only.
Time for ASIZE: 29120 [GPU]: 0.296602 s
Time for ASIZE: 29120 [CPU]: 3.12564 s
Time for ASIZE: 29122 [GPU]: 11.2411 s
Time for ASIZE: 29122 [CPU]: 3.13552 s
Why this difference in the gpu performance?
I'm using pyopencl 0.92 (Ubuntu 12.04 version), and my graphic card is a
Radeon HD6450.
A lot of thanks.

Using different types in buffers
by Antonio Beamud Montero
Hi:
I was testing using a result array of booleans, the problem is accessing
by index to the correct element... What's the correct way of doing this?
For example, with this buffers declarations:
a = numpy.random.randint(-100000000, 100000000, 10).astype(numpy.int32)
r = numpy.zeros(10, numpy.bool)
a_buf = cl.Buffer(ctx, mf.READ_ONLY | mf.COPY_HOST_PTR, hostbuf=a)
dest_buf = cl.Buffer(ctx, mf.WRITE_ONLY | mf.COPY_HOST_PTR, hostbuf=r)
and this kernel:
__kernel void test(__global const int *a,
__global bool *c
)
{
int agid = get_global_id(0);
if (agid == 1)
c[agid] = true;
}
The c buffer contains the next values (initialized to false 10 elements):
[False False False False True False False False False False]
i.e. is using 1 * 4 (int size, 4 bytes) as index value...
I'm a little confused :-)

Re: [PyOpenCL] Handling Multiple kernels
by Calle Snickare
Hello,
Is my question too hard or too trivial? I can't find any examples or info
on the web on this. I'll try to reformulate:
I want to run two different kernel functions in succession, with the same
variables/input. They are both written in the same c-file. This is what I
run in the host-code:
kernel_1 = prg.function_1
kernelObj_1= kernel_1(queue, globalSize, localSize, ins.data, ranluxcltab)
kernelObj_1.wait()
kernel_2 = prg.function_2
kernelObj_2 = kernel_2(queue, globalSize, localSize, ins.data, ranluxcltab)
kernelObj_2.wait()
Is this correct? If so - I'm running out of memory faster than I expect. Is
the same data really being used in this way, or is it duplicated?
Cheers, Calle
