Intel GPU OpenCL with g++ -O3 flag.

[luisgo007]

Dear All,

I have a dynamic library (XXX.so) with a OpenCL kernel.

When I compile the library without -O3 flag the kernel works Ok.

When I compile with the -O3 flag I obtain the follow error from the run of the kernel.

-54 CL_INVALID_WORK_GROUP_SIZE

g++ -c -march=native -O3 -fPIC AoA.cpp -o AoA.o
g++ -shared -march=native  -o AoA.so AoA.o -L/usr/lib -llapack -lblas -lOpenCL

Is this normal?

Thanks,

Luís Gonçalves

Can you see what the arguments are to the call to clEnqueueNDRangeKernel that is generating the error when your program is compiled with -O3?  Are they different than when your program is compiled with -O2?

You might be able to do this with the debugger,  or you can use a tool like the OpenCL Intercept Layer to generate an API "call log":

I'm guessing that aggressive compiler optimizations are causing the local_work_size to be something other than what you are expecting, which is causing the OpenCL driver to return an error.

With -O2 happens the same.

I try to put the variables "static" but did not worked as well.

And It also does not accept "volatile" because of incompability of types.

I had a bug. Compiles ok with -O3. Sorry.
