How can I enable the image view and the data view for api debugger?

[yu__xi]

Hi, I installed the intel opencl sdk. I choose the vs option: enable OpenCL Tools API debugger， but I cannot view the image and the data. How can I solve it? Thanks. I use the GPU template provided by the SDK.

Hi XiY,

Please have a look at the output validation section of the developer guide notes for a reference.

For assigning images and other variables to kernels you may wish to review the kernel development framework dev guide notes. The frame work abstracts opencl kernels... It allows the developer to disassociate from OpenCL boilerplate code and focus on input and output .

The GPU template example kernel file can be populated in a KDF session.

Hi MICHAEL C,

Thanks for your responce. I may not express my question clearly. I want to use the feature like "https://software.intel.com/en-us/openclsdk-devguide-image-view", in a vs opencl project, not only in the "session". How shall I configure it ? I click the option "enable OpenCL Tools API debugger", but can only view the trace (https://software.intel.com/en-us/openclsdk-devguide-trace-view) and object (https://software.intel.com/en-us/openclsdk-devguide-objects-tree-view), the image  (https://software.intel.com/en-us/openclsdk-devguide-image-view) and data (https://software.intel.com/en-us/openclsdk-devguide-data-view) cannot be viewed.

My OS is win10, CPU is intel 8400, and vs2017.

Thanks a lot.

Hello XiYu,

Thanks for the interest. It was determined that buffers and image viewing features of the API debugger are limited. Documentation updates on the status of this feature are pending. Also, the API debugger feature will be removed in the 2020 version of the product.

For alternate API tracing mechanisms, users are encouraged to review clIntercept layer as well as Intel® VTune™ Amplifier.
