OpenMP offload quirk (maybe problem if mapping const array?)

CFR — Sat, 11 Jul 2020 21:10:05 GMT

Lenovo T570, Ubuntu 18.04.4, icpc (ICC) 2021.1 Beta 20200602

user@t570:~/OneAPI/OMP$ cat bug2.cpp #include <omp.h> #include <cstdio> void fn(const unsigned int data[7], int n) { #pragma omp target teams distribute parallel for map(to:data[:7]) for (int i=0; i<n; i++) printf("data[%d] = %d\n", i, data[i]); } const unsigned int data[7] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { fn(data, 7); } user@t570:~/OneAPI/OMP$ make bug2 icpc -std=c++17 -O3 -o bug2 bug2.cpp -qnextgen -fiopenmp -fopenmp-targets=spir64 user@t570:~/OneAPI/OMP$ ./bug2 Abort was called at 719 line in file: ../neo/level_zero/core/source/device/device_imp.cpp Aborted (core dumped)

If "data" in not declared "const" then things are fine:

user@t570:~/OneAPI/OMP$ cat bug2.cpp #include <omp.h> #include <cstdio> void fn(const unsigned int data[7], int n) { #pragma omp target teams distribute parallel for map(to:data[:7]) for (int i=0; i<n; i++) printf("data[%d] = %d\n", i, data[i]); } unsigned int data[7] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { fn(data, 7); } user@t570:~/OneAPI/OMP$ make bug2 icpc -std=c++17 -O3 -o bug2 bug2.cpp -qnextgen -fiopenmp -fopenmp-targets=spir64 user@t570:~/OneAPI/OMP$ ./bug2 data[0] = 1 data[1] = 2 data[2] = 3 data[3] = 4 data[4] = 5 data[5] = 6 data[6] = 7

I'm not sure why "data" can't be const in the above, but in any case, the diagnostic provides no insight into the problem. (It took me quite a while to pare down my application and "fuzz" my code before I was able to attribute the error to the "const" so maybe this will help someone else Googling for this error in the future.)

Hi,

From the code sample, you have provided we can see that you want to access a constant array for offload. For handling constant array you can try declaring them inside the main() so that you can use it for offload. Please refer to the below code for more details.

#include <omp.h> #include <cstdio> void fn(const unsigned int data[7], int n){ #pragma omp target teams distribute parallel for map(to:data[:7]) for (int i=0; i<n; i++) printf("data[%d] = %d\n", i, data[i]); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ const unsigned int data[7] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}; fn(data, 7); return 0; }

This will solve your problem of accessing constants array. Please try the code and let us know if it is working for you.

Warm Regards,

Abhishek

You're really not defining a global constant anymore, but that does remove the error.

Thanks.

Hi,

If you want to access a global constant array then please change the backend to the OpenCL this will resolve your error and you can execute your code with a global constant array.

Please set the following environment variable followed by compiling and running your application.

export LIBOMPTARGET_PLUGIN=OPENCL

And let us know if it resolves your issue.

Warm Regards,

Abhishek
