In addition to producing an easily portable open source OpenCL implementation, another major goal of the project is improving performance portability of OpenCL programs with compiler optimizations, reducing the need for target-dependent manual optimizations.

Portable Computing Language (pocl) v0.8 released Pocl's goal is to become an efficient open source (MIT-licensed) implementation of the OpenCL 1.2 (and soon OpenCL 2.0) standard. In addition to producing an easily portable open-source OpenCL implementation, another major goal of this project is improving performance portability of OpenCL programs with compiler optimizations, reducing the

Quite interesting. We were planning to add "vectorization" to our passes also, but if I understood the

Micah, You're saying it works for you, but Clang doesn't currently anywhere near the range of horrible constantexpr constructs it is possible to create. You can "get by" at the moment with just handling ConstantGEPs, because of the way Clang works. But SPIR isn't restricted to Clang, and the problem is that it is *possible* (although not probable, or nice, but that is

Carlos, AMD's OpenCL implementation(both CPU and GPU) has worked for years with the way SPIR represents locals. If there is problems with the representation then it is an implementation issue. One of the issues with using extra kernel arguments is that it requires extra validation and complexity at the runtime level that is not needed if it is handled internally by the compiler. That being

Do we have a list of these open-source LLVM-based OpenCL projects somewhere? Off the top of my head, we have: libclc: http://www.pcc.me.uk/~peter/libclc/ pocl: https://launchpad.net/pocl clover: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~steckdenis/clover/ (I think that all of these have BSD- or MIT-style licenses). Are there any others? -Hal On Wed, 2011-10-19 at 14:47 +0100, Peter Collingbourne wrote:

Maybe it would be easier to provide a bitcode example of this problem. After thinking about this more, I'm not sure if this is applicable to SPIR itself. For you to have a constant GEP expression, you have to know the pointer size in order to correctly generate the expression. Since the pointer size itself is not known, I don't yet see how you can generate a constant expression that is

Ralf, What version of the SDK were you using for your analysis? I don't see that in the slides/pdf.

Pocl is a portable open source (MIT-licensed) implementation of the OpenCL standard (1.2 with some 2.0 features supported). In addition to producing an easily portable open-source OpenCL implementation, another major goal of this project is improving performance portability of OpenCL programs with the kernel compiler and the task runtime, reducing the need for target-dependent manual

Hi Micah, The numbers from the paper were measured with the ATI Stream SDK v2.1 (it's only mentioned in the references I think). The most recent measurements I have were done with the current v2.5.

Hi Pekka, hi Nadav, I didn't find the time to read this thread until now, sorry for that. I actually think you are both right :). As for the current status, the loop vectorizer is only able to vectorize inner loops and (I think) does not handle function calls and memory operations well. This will prevent it from vectorizing a large group of OpenCL kernels, and certainly all

Hi, This is to announce the availability of libclc, an open source, BSD licensed implementation of the library requirements of the OpenCL C programming language, as specified by the OpenCL 1.1 Specification. libclc is intended to be used with Clang's OpenCL frontend. libclc website: http://www.pcc.me.uk/~peter/libclc/ libclc is designed to be portable and extensible. To this end, it

Hi everybody, the compiler design lab at Saarland University (chair of Sebastian Hack) is also working on an LLVM-based OpenCL driver. The project started as a use-case for our "Whole-Function Vectorization" library, which allows to transform a function to compute the same as W executions of the original code by using SIMD instructions (W = 4 for SSE/AltiVec, 8 for AVX). The

I was hoping you would come to the collaborative, joint solution. I've been waiting for Clang to have a settled OpenCL implementation to start working on OpenCL. Dealing with 3 parallel projects would be just that, a pain in the rear. - Marc On 10/20/2011 03:45 AM, Ralf Karrenberg wrote: > Hi Carlos, > > On 10/20/11 9:54 AM, Carlos Sánchez de La Lama wrote: >>> The
