OpenCL - Open Computing Language Bindings

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use OpenCL;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is an early release which might be useful, but hasn't seen much testing.

=head2 OpenCL FROM 10000 FEET HEIGHT

Here is a high level overview of OpenCL:

First you need to find one or more OpenCL::Platforms (kind of like
vendors) - usually there is only one.

Each platform gives you access to a number of OpenCL::Device objects, e.g.
your graphics card.

From a platform and some device(s), you create an OpenCL::Context, which is
a very central object in OpenCL: Once you have a context you can create
most other objects:

OpenCL::Program objects, which store source code and, after building for a
specific device ("compiling and linking"), also binary programs. For each
kernel function in a program you can then create an OpenCL::Kernel object
which represents basically a function call with argument values.

OpenCL::Memory objects of various flavours: OpenCL::Buffer objects (flat
memory areas, think arrays or structs) and OpenCL::Image objects (think 2d
or 3d array) for bulk data and input and output for kernels.

OpenCL::Sampler objects, which are kind of like texture filter modes in
OpenGL.

OpenCL::Queue objects - command queues, which allow you to submit memory
reads, writes and copies, as well as kernel calls to your devices. They
also offer a variety of methods to synchronise request execution, for
example with barriers or OpenCL::Event objects.

OpenCL::Event objects are used to signal when something is complete.

=head2 HELPFUL RESOURCES

The OpenCL spec used to develop this module (1.2 spec was available, but
no implementation was available to me :).

If you are into UML class diagrams, the following diagram might help - if
not, it will be mildly cobfusing:

Here's a tutorial from AMD (very AMD-centric, too), not sure how useful it
is, but at least it's free of charge:

=head1 BASIC WORKFLOW

To get something done, you basically have to do this once (refer to the
examples below for actual code, this is just a high-level description):

Find some platform (e.g. the first one) and some device(s) (e.g. the first
device of the platform), and create a context from those.

Create program objects from your OpenCL source code, then build (compile)
the programs for each device you want to run them on.

Create kernel objects for all kernels you want to use (surprisingly, these
are not device-specific).

Then, to execute stuff, you repeat these steps, possibly resuing or
sharing some buffers:

Create some input and output buffers from your context. Set these as
arguments to your kernel.

Enqueue buffer writes to initialise your input buffers (when not
initialised at creation time).

Enqueue the kernel execution.

Enqueue buffer reads for your output buffer to read results.

=head1 EXAMPLES

=head2 Enumerate all devices and get contexts for them.

Best run this once to get a feel for the platforms and devices in your
system.

   for my $platform (OpenCL::platforms) {
      printf "platform: %s\n", $platform->name;
      printf "extensions: %s\n", $platform->extensions;
      for my $device ($platform->devices) {
         printf "+ device: %s\n", $device->name;
         my $ctx = $platform->context (undef, [$device]);
         # do stuff
      }
   }

=head2 Get a useful context and a command queue.

This is a useful boilerplate for any OpenCL program that only wants to use
one device,

   my ($platform) = OpenCL::platforms; # find first platform
   my ($dev) = $platform->devices;     # find first device of platform
   my $ctx = $platform->context (undef, [$dev]); # create context out of those
   my $queue = $ctx->queue ($dev);     # create a command queue for the device

=head2 Print all supported image formats of a context.

Best run this once for your context, to see whats available and how to
gather information.

   for my $type (OpenCL::MEM_OBJECT_IMAGE2D, OpenCL::MEM_OBJECT_IMAGE3D) {
      print "supported image formats for ", OpenCL::enum2str $type, "\n";
      
      for my $f ($ctx->supported_image_formats (0, $type)) {
         printf "  %-10s %-20s\n", OpenCL::enum2str $f->[0], OpenCL::enum2str $f->[1];
      }
   }

=head2 Create a buffer with some predefined data, read it back synchronously,
then asynchronously.

   my $buf = $ctx->buffer_sv (OpenCL::MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR, "helmut");

   $queue->enqueue_read_buffer ($buf, 1, 1, 3, my $data);
   print "$data\n";

   my $ev = $queue->enqueue_read_buffer ($buf, 0, 1, 3, my $data);
   $ev->wait;
   print "$data\n"; # prints "elm"

=head2 Create and build a program, then create a kernel out of one of its
functions.

   my $src = '
      kernel void
      squareit (global float *input, global float *output)
      {
        $id = get_global_id (0);
        output [id] = input [id] * input [id];
      }
   ';

   my $prog = $ctx->program_with_source ($src);

   # build croaks on compile errors, so catch it and print the compile errors
   eval { $prog->build ($dev); 1 }
      or die $prog->build_log;

   my $kernel = $prog->kernel ("squareit");

=head2 Create some input and output float buffers, then call the
'squareit' kernel on them.

   my $input  = $ctx->buffer_sv (OpenCL::MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR, pack "f*", 1, 2, 3, 4.5);
   my $output = $ctx->buffer (0, OpenCL::SIZEOF_FLOAT * 5);

   # set buffer
   $kernel->set_buffer (0, $input);
   $kernel->set_buffer (1, $output);

   # execute it for all 4 numbers
   $queue->enqueue_nd_range_kernel ($kernel, undef, [4], undef);

   # enqueue a synchronous read
   $queue->enqueue_read_buffer ($output, 1, 0, OpenCL::SIZEOF_FLOAT * 4, my $data);

   # print the results:
   printf "%s\n", join ", ", unpack "f*", $data;

=head2 The same enqueue operations as before, but assuming an out-of-order queue,
showing off barriers.

   # execute it for all 4 numbers
   $queue->enqueue_nd_range_kernel ($kernel, undef, [4], undef);

   # enqueue a barrier to ensure in-order execution
   $queue->enqueue_barrier;

   # enqueue an async read
   $queue->enqueue_read_buffer ($output, 0, 0, OpenCL::SIZEOF_FLOAT * 4, my $data);

   # wait for all requests to finish
   $queue->finish;

=head2 The same enqueue operations as before, but assuming an out-of-order queue,
showing off event objects and wait lists.

   # execute it for all 4 numbers
   my $ev = $queue->enqueue_nd_range_kernel ($kernel, undef, [4], undef);

   # enqueue an async read
   $ev = $queue->enqueue_read_buffer ($output, 0, 0, OpenCL::SIZEOF_FLOAT * 4, my $data, $ev);

   # wait for the last event to complete
   $ev->wait;

=head1 DOCUMENTATION

=head2 BASIC CONVENTIONS

This is not a one-to-one C-style translation of OpenCL to Perl - instead
I attempted to make the interface as type-safe as possible by introducing
object syntax where it makes sense. There are a number of important
differences between the OpenCL C API and this module:

=over 4

=item * Object lifetime managament is automatic - there is no need
to free objects explicitly (C<clReleaseXXX>), the release function
is called automatically once all Perl references to it go away.

=item * OpenCL uses CamelCase for function names
(e.g. C<clGetPlatformIDs>, C<clGetPlatformInfo>), while this module
uses underscores as word separator and often leaves out prefixes
(C<OpenCL::platforms>, C<< $platform->info >>).

=item * OpenCL often specifies fixed vector function arguments as short
arrays (C<size_t origin[3]>), while this module explicitly expects the
components as separate arguments (C<$orig_x, $orig_y, $orig_z>) in
function calls.

=item * Structures are often specified by flattening out their components
as with short vectors, and returned as arrayrefs.

=item * When enqueuing commands, the wait list is specified by adding
extra arguments to the function - anywhere a C<$wait_events...> argument
is documented this can be any number of event objects.

=item * When enqueuing commands, if the enqueue method is called in void
context, no event is created. In all other contexts an event is returned
by the method.

=item * This module expects all functions to return C<CL_SUCCESS>. If any
other status is returned the function will throw an exception, so you
don't normally have to to any error checking.

=head2 PERL AND OPENCL TYPES

This handy(?) table lists OpenCL types and their perl, PDL and pack/unpack
format equivalents:

   OpenCL    perl   PDL       pack/unpack
   char      IV     -         c
   uchar     IV     byte      C
   short     IV     short     s
   ushort    IV     ushort    S
   int       IV     long?     l
   uint      IV     -         L
   long      IV     longlong  q
   ulong     IV     -         Q
   float     NV     float     f
   half      IV     ushort    S
   double    NV     double    d

=head2 THE OpenCL PACKAGE

=over 4

=item $int = OpenCL::errno

The last error returned by a function - it's only valid after an error occured
and before calling another OpenCL function.

=item $str = OpenCL::err2str $errval

Comverts an error value into a human readable string.

=item $str = OpenCL::enum2str $enum

Converts most enum values (of parameter names, image format constants,
object types, addressing and filter modes, command types etc.) into a
human readable string. When confronted with some random integer it can be
very helpful to pass it through this function to maybe get some readable
string out of it.

=item @platforms = OpenCL::platforms

Returns all available OpenCL::Platform objects.

L<http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.1/docs/man/xhtml/clGetPlatformIDs.html>

=item $ctx = OpenCL::context_from_type $properties, $type = OpenCL::DEVICE_TYPE_DEFAULT, $notify = undef

Tries to create a context from a default device and platform - never worked for me.

L<http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.1/docs/man/xhtml/clCreateContextFromType.html>

=item OpenCL::wait_for_events $wait_events...

Waits for all events to complete.

L<http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.1/docs/man/xhtml/clWaitForEvents.html>

=back

=head2 THE OpenCL::Platform CLASS

=over 4

=item @devices = $platform->devices ($type = OpenCL::DEVICE_TYPE_ALL)

Returns a list of matching OpenCL::Device objects.

=item $ctx = $platform->context_from_type ($properties, $type = OpenCL::DEVICE_TYPE_DEFAULT, $notify = undef)

Tries to create a context. Never worked for me, and you need devices explicitly anyway.

L<http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.1/docs/man/xhtml/clCreateContextFromType.html>

=item $ctx = $platform->context ($properties = undef, @$devices, $notify = undef)

Create a new OpenCL::Context object using the given device object(s)- a
CL_CONTEXT_PLATFORM property is supplied automatically.

L<http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.1/docs/man/xhtml/clCreateContext.html>

=item $packed_value = $platform->info ($name)

Calls C<clGetPlatformInfo> and returns the packed, raw value - for
strings, this will be the string (possibly including terminating \0), for
other values you probably need to use the correct C<unpack>.

It's best to avoid this method and use one of the following convenience
wrappers.

=head2 THE OpenCL::Queue CLASS

An OpenCL::Queue represents an execution queue for OpenCL. You execute
requests by calling their respective C<enqueue_xxx> method and waitinf for
it to complete in some way.

All the enqueue methods return an event object that can be used to wait
for completion, unless the method is called in void context, in which case
no event object is created.

They also allow you to specify any number of other event objects that this
request has to wait for before it starts executing, by simply passing the
event objects as extra parameters to the enqueue methods.

Queues execute in-order by default, without any parallelism, so in most
cases (i.e. you use only one queue) it's not necessary to wait for or
create event objects.
