I conducted a experiemt to test data transfer speed
#pragma offload target(mic) out(outImage:length(width*height) alloc_if(1) free_if(1)) in(img1,img2:length(width*height) alloc_if(1) free_if(1)) { //int a = 0; //omp_set_num_threads(192); //const size_t iCPUNum = omp_get_max_threads(); //printf("Get number = %d\n", iCPUNum); //fflush(0); const unsigned int ySegment = height/iCPUNum; #pragma omp parallel for for (unsigned int n = 0; n < iCPUNum; n++) { const unsigned int starty = n * width; unsigned int endy = starty + ySegment; if(n = (iCPUNum -1)) endy = height; unsigned char tmpArray1[width]; unsigned char tmpArray2[width]; unsigned char tmpArrayout[width]; for (size_t y = starty; y < endy; y++) { memcpy(tmpArray1, &img1[y*width], width*sizeof(char)); memcpy(tmpArray2, &img2[y*width], width*sizeof(char)); for (unsigned int nn = 0; nn < LOOPNUM; nn++) { for (unsigned int x = 0; x < width; x++) { tmpArrayout[ x] = tmpArray1*0.5f + tmpArray2 *0.5f; } } memcpy( &outImage[y*width], tmpArrayout,width*sizeof(char)); } }//end of n<iCPUNum }//end of pragma
[Offload] [MIC 0] [File] imageAdd.cpp
[Offload] [MIC 0] [Line] 144
[Offload] [MIC 0] [Tag] Tag 2
[Offload] [HOST] [Tag 2] [CPU Time] 0.946899(seconds)
[Offload] [MIC 0] [Tag 2] [CPU->MIC Data] 18874384 (bytes)
[Offload] [MIC 0] [Tag 2] [MIC Time] 0.856914(seconds)
[Offload] [MIC 0] [Tag 2] [MIC->CPU Data] 9437200 (bytes)
the transfer time is t = 0.94899-0.856914 = 0.089985. Data transfer speed ~= 300 M per sec. It sounds the value is far lower that the value mentioned in some documents. Could you tell me why?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Xin,
Can you please provide a test program we can use to reproduce your problem. Also there might be some MIC initialization times affecting your analysis. Do you get the same results on multiple iterations of the chunk of code you are trying to run or the behavior is only for the first iteration.
You can also send me a private message in case you don't want to publicly share your test program.

Hello Xin,
I would like to follow up on the issue about offload transfer speed you reported. I hope you were able to resolve the issue.
Regards,
Sunny
