How to remove CL_INVALID_PLATFORM error in opencl code? - opencl

Question

Doing simple matrix multiplication using OpenCL:
// Multiply two matrices A * B = C

In the above code I keep getting error at the place :
/**********************/ / Initialize OpenCL
/ /**********************/
clGPUContext = clCreateContextFromType(0,
CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU,
NULL, NULL, &errcode); shrCheckError(errcode, CL_SUCCESS);
The error code being returned is -32 that means: CL_INVALID_PLATFORM"
How do I remove this error?

Answer 1

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);
