Non-blocking copy and wait-for event
by Schock, Jonathan
Hi all,
I am not quite getting the function of the event system together with
non-blocking copies.
I want to enqueue a non-blocking copy function which returns an event
for a kernel to wait on:
wev1 = cl.enqueue_copy(IOqueue, device_image, host_image,
is_blocking=False, origin=(0,0,0), region=host_image_shape)
program.kernel_name(workqueue,(work_group_shape,),None,device_image,wait_for
= [wev1])
Both queues are defined as OoO queues in the same context on the same
device.
In my profiling I can see the start of the kernel, before the copying is
finished. Does that mean, I have to use blocking copies,
or am I doing something else wrong?
Thanks for any help

Sorry for writing response so late.
I'm glad that you are finding PyOpenCL useful.
I believe the best for you is to subscribe to PyOpenCL mailing list
(in CC) - there are many people developing and using PyOpenCL who
should be able to help you.
I'm just maintaining Debian packages for PyOpenCL (and PyCUDA) and
not using PyOpenCL every day. While I might be able to help if
you have problems with packages, I am not the best person for
performance tuning.
Best regards.

Re: [PyOpenCL] lmage creation/read errors since updating to 2015.2.4
by Martin Weigert
Hey Gregor,
Thanks, upgrading to the latest github version (bbb2ca7dd) got rid of
the INVALID_VALUE error,
however the host-image copy still is off and empties the input data
ndarray as a side effect
#--------code
from __future__ import print_function
import numpy as np
import pyopencl as cl
#host -> image
data = np.random.randn(100,100).astype(np.float32)
fmt = cl.ImageFormat(cl.channel_order.R, cl.channel_type.FLOAT)
im = cl.Image(ctx,cl.mem_flags.READ_WRITE, fmt, data.T.shape)
cl.enqueue_copy(queue,im,data, origin = (0,0), region = data.T.shape)
#image -> host
out = np.empty_like(data)
cl.enqueue_copy(queue,out, im, origin = (0,0), region = data.T.shape)
print(np.allclose(out,data))
# prints False
# data is zeroed out
#--------
I'll most have to revert to an earlier version then,
cheers,
Martin

lmage creation/read errors since updating to 2015.2.4
by Martin Weigert
Hi all,
Since updating to version 2015.2.4. some of the image creation/reading
function that use to work are throwing errors on my machine.
Specifically, running the following minimal code that creates an OpenCL
Image from an array and reads it back:
#--------------code
from __future__ import print_function
import numpy as np
import pyopencl as cl
ctx = cl.create_some_context(interactive=False)
queue = cl.CommandQueue(ctx)
data = np.random.randn(100,100).astype(np.float32)
im = cl.image_from_array(ctx, np.asarray(data))
out = np.empty_like(data)
cl.enqueue_copy(queue,out,im, origin = (0,0), region = (100,100))
print(np.allclose(data,out))
#--------------/code
results in the following error*
pyopencl.cffi_cl.RuntimeError: clcreateimage failed:
IMAGE_FORMAT_NOT_SUPPORTED
The same code runs just fine with version 2015.1.
Can anybody else confirm that issue and are there any thoughts where
that error might originate from?
Thanks very much for any help!
Martin
