NOTE:your OpenCL library only supports OpenCL 1.2, but some installed platforms support OpenCL 2.1.

Hi, again

I have already installed SDK 2017 r2 and system_studio. But when I use"clinfo" at the end of log.

And I also "sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev" still showed as below.

I thinks it's really a stupid question but it stuck me a lot.

Thanks

Hi again,

I find when I finished install Intel® CPU Runtime for OpenCL™ Applications 18.1 for Linux* OS (64bit only) I checked the folder "/etc/alternatives" found the symbolic is not correct.

Hi ShanL,

Thanks for the questions and your continued interest. These questions are very useful.

OpenCL implementations often come with the ICD interrogator libraries. Their installers may deploy them and create symlinks and system path expectations. Recent Intel implementations for Linux OS come with the ICD interrogator library which for CPU and Intel Graphics Technology should be OpenCL 2.1 api capable. The device kernels should be OpenCL-C 2.0 capable for those implementations. The included ICD interrogator library is the reference Khronos library... It is not the ocl-icd project build which may have some extended behaviors.

I can't look at that clinfo sources at the moment... but is it possible a non-Intel implementation is only 1.2 capable while the ICD loader from Intel's deployment is 2.1 capable? The good thing about the ICD loader library being 2.1 is that developers can still write a program using 1.2 (continuing to 2.1) features, or many deprecated 1.2 function calls... The healthiest development workflow involves interrogating the implementation to understand it's version then use the corresponding function calls for that API revision.

One such example of a deprecated difference that users often run into is command queue creation... the standard 1.2 call was deprecated as of 2.0... the 2.0+ call required a data structure for command queue properties.

https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/sdk/1.2/docs/man/xhtml/clCreateCommandQueue.html

https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/sdk/2.1/docs/man/xhtml/clCreateCommandQueueWithProperties.html

See this macro included underneath cl.h which allows for toggling between the two for more context: CL_USE_DEPRECATED_OPENCL_1_2_APIS

Also relevant is kernel side OpenCL-C standard source which may necessitate -cl-std=CL2.0 for the kernel build options with newer implementations and source features.

It's also possible that 1.2 capable libOpenCL.so was picked up by clinfo which would may have difficulty with 2.0+ implementations. Determining ICD loader library (libOpenCL.so) revision on the deployment system is best practice for portability and stability. Systems with multiple vendors or SDKs may which to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find a dir with an appropriate implementation to evaluate behavioral discrepancies.

It just so happens that the Windows MSVS 2017 template exmaples for OpenCL included in Intel® System Studio 2019 have some good examples for how to deal with the 2.0 API revision difference. If a system is available to try those sources I recommend looking at them in the CPU and GPU templates.

Thanks,

Hi,

Got a question about my Folding@Home box. It has 2 x NVidia Cards (details below). I am getting funny output at the end of "clinfo" on Fedora 31.

Thanks! JW

I run clinfo on the console, and finishes with a:

NULL platform behavior
clGetPlatformInfo(NULL, CL_PLATFORM_NAME, ...) No platform
cl_get_gt_device(): error, unknown device: 0
clGetDeviceIDs(NULL, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL, ...) ��U
clCreateContext(NULL, ...) [default] No devices found in platform
clCreateContext(NULL, ...) [other] Success [POCL]
cl_get_gt_device(): error, unknown device: 0
clCreateContextFromType(NULL, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_DEFAULT) No devices found in platform
clCreateContextFromType(NULL, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU) No devices found in platform
cl_get_gt_device(): error, unknown device: 0
clCreateContextFromType(NULL, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU) No devices found in platform
clCreateContextFromType(NULL, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ACCELERATOR) No devices found in platform
clCreateContextFromType(NULL, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CUSTOM) No devices found in platform
cl_get_gt_device(): error, unknown device: 0
clCreateContextFromType(NULL, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL) No devices found in platform

But it behaves differently when I shell in from remote:

(in the case below Coffee is my system with GTX770 and RTX2060 - my Folding@home rig )

but.. if I run clinfo over an ssh session (where glxgears works properly) yields:

[root@coffee tmp]# clinfo

Major opcode of failed request: 154 (DRI2)
Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (DRI2Connect)

2 different cl.h files:

[root@coffee tmp]# locate cl.h | grep /cl.h
 /usr/include/CL/cl.h
 /usr/local/cuda-10.2/targets/x86_64-linux/include/CL/cl.h

Where do clinfo look for .so?

 [root@coffee tmp]# locate clinfo | grep bin
/usr/bin/clinfo

[root@coffee tmp]# ldd /usr/bin/clinfo
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffce72f2000)
