Imagine a binary operation (lets name it "+") with associative property. When you can compute a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + ... in parallel, first computing
b1 = a1 + a2
b2 = a3 + a4
then
c1 = b1 + b2
c2 = b3 + b4
then doing the same thing for results of previous step, and so on, until there is one element left.
I'am learning OpenCL and trying to implement this approach to summarize all elements in array. I am a total newbie in this technology, so the program might look something weird.
This is the kernel:
__kernel void reduce (__global float *input, __global float *output)
{
size_t gl = get_global_id (0);
size_t s = get_local_size (0);
int i;
float accum = 0;
for (i=0; i<s; i++) {
accum += input[s*gl+i];
}
output[gl] = accum;
}
This is the main program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

So I re-run kernel until there is only one element in the buffer. Is this correct approach to compute sum of elements in OpenCL? The time which I measure with gettime is about 10 times slower when execution time of a simple loop on CPU (compiled clang 4.0.0 and -O2 -ffast-math flags). Hardware I use: Amd Ryzen 5 1600X and Amd Radeon HD 6950.
There's a couple of things you can do to try to improve performance.
Firstly, get rid of the clFinish call inside your loop. This forces individual executions of the kernels to be dependent on the entire state of the Command Queue reaching a synchronization point with the Host before continuing, which is unnecessary. The only synchronization required is that the kernels execute in order, and even if you have an out-of-order queue (which your program isn't requesting anyways), you can guarantee that with simple use of event objects.
size_t size = N;
size_t total_expected_events = 0;
for(size_t event_count = size; event_count > 1; event_count /= 64)
total_expected_events++;
cl_event * events = malloc(total_expected_events * sizeof(cl_event));
cl_mem tmp;
double time = gettime();
size_t event_index = 0;
while (size > 1)
{
// set the argument list for the kernel command
clSetKernelArg(kernel, 0, sizeof(cl_mem), &input);
clSetKernelArg(kernel, 1, sizeof(cl_mem), &output);
global = size;
local = 64;
if(event_index == 0)
// enqueue the kernel command for execution
clEnqueueNDRangeKernel(command_queue, kernel, 1, NULL, &global,
&local, 0, NULL, events);
else
clEnqueueNDRangeKernel(command_queue, kernel, 1, NULL, &global,
&local, 1, events + (event_index - 1), events + event_index);
size = size/64;
tmp = output;
output = input;
input = tmp;
event_index++;
}
clFinish(command_queue);
for(; event_index > 0; event_index--)
clReleaseEvent(events[event_index-1]);
free(events);
cl_float answer[1];
clEnqueueReadBuffer(command_queue, tmp, CL_TRUE, 0,
sizeof(cl_float), array, 0, NULL, NULL);
The other thing to potentially look into is performing the reduction all in one kernel, instead of spreading it out over multiple invocations of the same kernel. This is one potential example, though it may be more complicated than you need it to be.

I'm new to openCL program and this is the problem I'm facing while executing a simple vector addition.
I have the following kernel code
#include <CL/cl.hpp>
#include<iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MAX_SOURCE_SIZE (0x100000)
int main() {
__kernel void vector_add(__global const int *A, __global const int *B, __global int *C) {
int i = get_global_id(0);
C[i] = A[i] + B[i];
}
I have integrated gpu and amd gpus on my system. I'm trying to perform vector addition on my intel gpu and for which I have installed the intel opencl drivers (i7 3rd gen processor with hd graphics).
I have the below openCL code
std::vector<cl::Platform> platforms;
cl::Platform::get(&platforms);
std::cout << "Total platforms including cpu: " << platforms.size() << std::endl;
if (platforms.size() == 0) {
std::cout << " No platforms found. Check OpenCL installation!\n";
exit(1);
}
int i;
const int LIST_SIZE = 50;
int *A = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*LIST_SIZE);
int *B = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*LIST_SIZE);
for(i = 0; i < LIST_SIZE; i++) {
A[i] = i;
B[i] = LIST_SIZE - i;
}
FILE *fp;
char *source_str;
size_t source_size;
fp = fopen("vector_add_kernel.cl", "r");
if (!fp) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to load kernel.\n");
exit(1);
}
source_str = (char*)malloc(MAX_SOURCE_SIZE);
source_size = fread( source_str, 1, MAX_SOURCE_SIZE, fp);
fclose( fp );
//std::cout<<source_str<<std::endl;
// Get platform and device information
cl_platform_id* platforms1 = NULL;
cl_device_id device_id = NULL;
cl_uint ret_num_devices;
cl_uint ret_num_platforms;
cl_int ret = clGetPlatformIDs(1, platforms1, &ret_num_platforms);
platforms1= (cl_platform_id*) malloc(sizeof(cl_platform_id) * ret_num_platforms);
clGetPlatformIDs(ret_num_platforms, platforms1, NULL);
/*

*/
//CHANGE THE PLATFORM ACCORDING TO YOUR SYSTEM!!!!
ret = clGetDeviceIDs( platforms1[0], CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU, 1,
&device_id, &ret_num_devices);
// Create an OpenCL context
cl_context context = clCreateContext( NULL, 1, &device_id, NULL, NULL, &ret);
// Create a command queue

// Create memory buffers on the device for each vector
cl_mem a_mem_obj = clCreateBuffer(context, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY,

cl_mem c_mem_obj = clCreateBuffer(context, CL_MEM_WRITE_ONLY,

// Copy the lists A and B to their respective memory buffers
ret = clEnqueueWriteBuffer(command_queue, a_mem_obj, CL_TRUE, 0,

// Create a program from the kernel source
cl_program program = clCreateProgramWithSource(context, 1,
(const char **)&source_str, (const size_t *)&source_size, &ret);
// Build the program

// Create the OpenCL kernel
cl_kernel kernel = clCreateKernel(program, "vector_add", &ret);
// Set the arguments of the kernel
ret = clSetKernelArg(kernel, 0, sizeof(cl_mem), (void *)&a_mem_obj);
ret = clSetKernelArg(kernel, 1, sizeof(cl_mem), (void *)&b_mem_obj);
ret = clSetKernelArg(kernel, 2, sizeof(cl_mem), (void *)&c_mem_obj);
// Execute the OpenCL kernel on the list
size_t global_item_size = LIST_SIZE; // Process the entire lists
size_t local_item_size = 16; // Divide work items into groups of 64
ret = clEnqueueNDRangeKernel(command_queue, kernel, 1, NULL,
&global_item_size, &local_item_size, 0, NULL, NULL);
// Read the memory buffer C on the device to the local variable C
int *C = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*LIST_SIZE);
ret = clEnqueueReadBuffer(command_queue, c_mem_obj, CL_TRUE, 0,
LIST_SIZE * sizeof(int), C, 0, NULL, NULL);
// Display the result to the screen
for(i = 0; i < LIST_SIZE; i++)
printf("%d + %d = %d\n", A[i], B[i], C[i]);
//FREE
return 0;
}
If the LISTSIZE is 50, it prints only till 48 that is 16*3. It prints only the multiple of LISTSIZE and I'm not able to figure out why?.
OpenCL kernels execute only for a multiple of the local thread block size (local Range, in your code local_item_size), which should not be smaller than 32 and must be a multiple of 2, (so it can be (32, 64, 128, 256, ...). If you set it to 16, half of the GPU will be idle at any time. global_item_size must be a multiple of local_item_size. You need at least 32 data items for the kernel to function and a lot more for it to yield good performance.
Also the part
#include <CL/cl.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MAX_SOURCE_SIZE (0x100000)
int main() {
is not OpenCL C code and does not belong in the .cl source file. If it is not too lengthy, you can write the OpenCL C code directly in the .cpp file as a raw string:
const string kernel_code = R"(
__kernel void vector_add(__global const int *A, __global const int *B, __global int *C) {
int i = get_global_id(0);
C[i] = A[i] + B[i];
}
)";
char* source_str = kernel_code.c_str();
I am starting out OpenCL by converting existing C codes to an OpenCL. I am getting strange results with the both CPU and GPU calculation. Their values change 'every time' when I run the code. When I compare with the normal C, I would get 'somewhat' acceptable results from the CPU (but, still the results are not identical with the that of native C or even other languages), but when I run the 'exact same' code with GPU, I get gibberish results.
Here is my code on the Host
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <CL/cl.h>
#include <math.h>

Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you.
You appear to be running a 2D global work size, but storing into a location based only on dimension 1 (not 0). Therefore multiple work items are storing into the same location using +=. You have a race condition. You could use atomics to solve this, but it will likely slow the performance down too much. Therefore, you should store intermediate results and then do a parallel reduction operation.
I am using AMD W2100, and yes, I have printed out all the supported extension and it included cl_khr_fp64 extension.
Sorry, I forgot to include the original calculation. The actual calculation goes like the following..
for(i=0,i<lines;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<delnu_size;j++)
{
f[j] += inten[i] * ((1.0/pie) * (gamma[i] / (pow(gamma[i],2) + pow((delnu[j] - nu[i] + del_air[i] * 950.0/1013.0),2))));
}
}
I would write OpenCL kernel as below,
Without using atomics and only single work dimension.
global_work_size = delnu_size
There could be a better way but its the simplest one.
__kernel void test(__global double *gamma,
__global double *inten,
__global double *delnu,
__global double *delair,
__global double *f,
const int lines)
{
double pie = 4.0*atan(1.0);
int j = get_global_id(0);
f[j] = 0;
for(i=0,i<lines;i++)
{
f[j] += inten[i] * ((1.0/pie) * (gamma[i] / (pow(gamma[i],2) + pow((delnu[j] - nu[i] + del_air[i] * 950.0/1013.0),2))));
}
}
You need to understand how OpenCL kernel is executed.
You can think of it as large number of threads executing concurrently
and each thread could be identified with get_global_id
I'm a beginner in OpenCL and am trying to run the sample codes of the "OpenLC in Action" book. I have the following code to get the preferred vector width of my device. The platforms detected on my computer are from Intel Core i7 and HD graphics and another one from NVIDIA GeForce 940M. Whenever I run the code, it gives "1" for vector width of every type unless type double which is zero because it is not supported. Even when I change the platform in my computer to check its devices, results are the same. I ran the code on an AMD computer and it seemed to work properly because it gave me different numbers for different types. But, I am not sure why this code keeps giving me "1" for every type on different platforms of my computer. Any ideas?

Short answer: You are querying it correctly, and the platform compiler knows what is the best vector width size. So yes, it is correct the value of 1.
Long answer: For a CPU (any type of CPU) it is likely to prefer non vectored. Specially on Intel CPU + Compiler, since the Intel compiler does the vectorization as part of the optimization process, so it prefers the user NOT to vectorize the code in the first place.
Indeed it looks like nVIDIA also prefers the user to input non vectorized code. It does not mean code will run slower if vectorized already. It just means the compiler (due to the optimization techniques it has) prefers the code to be unvectorized.
Updates to the OpenCL drivers may lead to a change of these values.
Also, you should take them as orientative. Other factors as: local memory usage, coalesced global access, local size, etc... are way more important usually.
Here is one experiment that I've done to see how vectorized operations perform in a device which prefers to do scalar operations. I have implemented the reduction algorithm with two different kernels. The first kernel treats data as scalars while the second treats data as float4 vectors (Codes are given below). Here is the execution results. It is clear that although the NVIDIA device prefers non-vectorized operation, vectorized operation is faster.
Preferred vector width: 1
reduction_scalar: Check passed.
Total time = 4471424

The Nvidia drivers expect you to provide a non-NULL properties pointer as first argument to the clCreateContextFromType call.
The Khronos specification for clCreateContextFromType states that if NULL is passed for the properties parameter, the platform that is selected is implementation dependent. In case of Nvidia the choice seems to be that no platform at all is selected if a NULL pointer is passed. See clCreateContextFromType for more information.
On the other hand, this behavior is consistent with Issue #3 in the cl_khr_icd extension, which would apply if you are using OpenCL through the ICD, and which states:
3: How will the ICD handle a NULL cl_platform_id?
RESOLVED: The NULL platform is not supported by the ICD.
To pass the properties to clCreateContextFromType, first query the platforms with clGetPlatformIDs. Then construct a properties array with the desired platform ID and pass it to clCreateContextFromType. Something along the following lines should work with a C99 compliant compiler:
// query the number of platforms
cl_uint numPlatforms;
errcode = clGetPlatformIDs(0, NULL, &numPlatforms);
shrCheckError(errcode, CL_SUCCESS);
// now get all the platform IDs
cl_platform_id platforms[numPlatforms];
errcode = clGetPlatformIDs(numPlatforms, platforms, NULL);
shrCheckError(errcode, CL_SUCCESS);
// set platform property - we just pick the first one
cl_context_properties properties[] = {CL_CONTEXT_PLATFORM, (int) platforms[0], 0};
clGPUContext = clCreateContextFromType(properties, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU, NULL, NULL, &errcode);
shrCheckError(errcode, CL_SUCCESS);
I've written the following code. I have a loop which iterates between two red and black kernels. In each iteration I call clEnqueueReadBuffer which I think is not efficient. Is there any other way to repeat calling kernels efficiently?

What you do is quite inefficient. You can write the buffer only once, then enqueue as many kernels as you want, with the same buffer as their argument. Of course if you need to compute the norm, you need to read data back. I would suggest something like this:
Create an additional buffer for the norm; check at the beginning of every kernel what the norm is (just by reading its value); if it is smaller than threshold value, return immediately.
Create a new kernel which will compute the norm for you.
Enque tasks like:
write buffers,
kernels: { {red,black}*10, updateNorm}*10
read buffers.
The computation will run 10x, then norm will be updated. In case it is already ok, already enqueued computation kernels will be will retrun immediately. After the queue is finished, read buffers back and check norm on the CPU. If the norm is still not OK, enqueue the same batch of kernels again.
In the worst case, you will waste 9 real and 90 immediately returning kernel runs.
