Struct Alignment with PyOpenCL

问题


update: the int4 in my kernel was wrong.

I am using pyopencl but am unable to get struct alignment to work correctly. In the code below, which calls the kernel twice, the b value is returned correctly (as 1), but the c value has some "random" value.

In other words: I am trying to read two members of a struct. I can read the first but not the second. Why?

The same issue occurs whether I use numpy structured arrays or pack with struct. And the _-attribute__ settings in the comments don't help either.

I suspect I am doing something stupid elsewhere in the code, but can't see it. Any help appreciated.

import struct as s
import pyopencl as cl
import numpy as n

ctx = cl.create_some_context()
queue = cl.CommandQueue(ctx)

for use_struct in (True, False):

    if use_struct:
        a = s.pack('=ii',1,2)
        print(a, len(a))
        a_dev = cl.Buffer(ctx, cl.mem_flags.WRITE_ONLY, len(a))
    else:
#       a = n.array([(1,2)], dtype=n.dtype('2i4', align=True))
        a = n.array([(1,2)], dtype=n.dtype('2i4'))
        print(a, a.itemsize, a.nbytes)
        a_dev = cl.Buffer(ctx, cl.mem_flags.WRITE_ONLY, a.nbytes)

    b = n.array([0], dtype='i4')
    print(b, b.itemsize, b.nbytes)
    b_dev = cl.Buffer(ctx, cl.mem_flags.READ_ONLY, b.nbytes)

    c = n.array([0], dtype='i4')
    print(c, c.itemsize, c.nbytes)
    c_dev = cl.Buffer(ctx, cl.mem_flags.READ_ONLY, c.nbytes)

    prg = cl.Program(ctx, """
        typedef struct s {
            int4 f0;
            int4 f1 __attribute__ ((packed));
//            int4 f1 __attribute__ ((aligned (4)));
//            int4 f1;
        } s;
        __kernel void test(__global const s *a, __global int4 *b, __global int4 *c) {
            *b = a->f0;
            *c = a->f1;
        }
        """).build()

    cl.enqueue_copy(queue, a_dev, a)
    event = prg.test(queue, (1,), None, a_dev, b_dev, c_dev)
    event.wait()
    cl.enqueue_copy(queue, b, b_dev)
    print(b)
    cl.enqueue_copy(queue, c, c_dev)
    print(c)

The output (I had to reformat while cut+pasting, so may have messed up line breaks slightly; I've also added comments indicating what the various print values are):

回答1:


In the OpenCL program, try the packed attribute on the struct itself, instead of one of the members:

typedef struct s {
        int4 f0;
        int4 f1;
} __attribute__((packed)) s;

It might be that because you only had the packed attribute on a single member of the struct, it might not have been packing the entire structure.




回答2:


ok, i don't know where i got int4 from - i think it must be an intel extension. switching to AMD with int as the kernel type works as expected. i'll post more at http://acooke.org/cute/Somesimple0.html once i have cleaned things up.
