Seems that aocl (openCL ) can't recognize "__prefetching_load" attribute in aocl 19.2??

Hi inteler

Environment: centos 7.5

aocl verison: 19.2.0.57

 1 error: implicit declaration of function '__prefetching_load' is invalid in OpenCL                                                                      

 2                probe_buf[b].vector[s].data[i] = __prefetching_load(&probe[p   robe_in_addr++]);

from the error hint, it seems that the openCL can't recognize "__prefetching_load" , but it shows on "Intel FPGA SDK for openCL pro edition best practices guide 19.2", it can found similar usage! Dose it need any other compile command???

Hi,

This is an uncommon issues, I need to check internally with this issues.

Can you try to compile the simple example code in Chapter 1.3 as link below:

HI Mylee

i run the chapter chapter 1.3 case ,still wrong:

aoc: Environment checks are completed successfully.                                                                                                                                                        

aoc: Cached files in /var/tmp/aocl/iot may be used to reduce compilation time

You are now compiling the full flow!!

aoc: Selected target board a10gx

aoc: Running OpenCL parser....

/home/iot/work_example/tmp/prefetch/test.cl:11:35: error: implicit declaration of function '__prefetching_load' is invalid in OpenCL

                       sum[k] += __prefetching_load(&a[j]);

I think the possibility to control the LSU type was added in v19.3 and is not [fully] supported in v19.2. Only the guide from v19.3 has the "Controlling the Load-Store Units" section. The example in Section 1.3 of the v19.2 guide is probably a documentation error that mistakenly introduces an unreleased feature.

Hi,

I will need some time to check internally about this issue.

Hi,

The __prefetching_load() builtin is only available for the OpenCL SDK version 19.3 onward. A simple work around for 19.2 would be to replace

  sum[k] += __prefetching_load(&a[j]);

with

  sum[k] += a[j];

The old version of this code can be found here https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/opencl-sdk/archives/aocl-best-practices-guide-19-1.pdf in Chapter 1.3.

There is an documentation error in 19.2 version which use _prefetching_load which is wrong.

I had reported to the team about the documentation error as well.

Thanks
