13=head2 OpenCL FROM 10000 FEET HEIGHT
14
15Here is a high level overview of OpenCL:
16
17First you need to find one or more OpenCL::Platforms (kind of like
18vendors) - usually there is only one.
19
20Each platform gives you access to a number of OpenCL::Device objects, e.g.
21your graphics card.
22
23From a platform and some device(s), you create an OpenCL::Context, which is
24a very central object in OpenCL: Once you have a context you can create
25most other objects:
26
27OpenCL::Program objects, which store source code and, after building for a
28specific device ("compiling and linking"), also binary programs. For each
29kernel function in a program you can then create an OpenCL::Kernel object
30which represents basically a function call with argument values.
31
32OpenCL::Memory objects of various flavours: OpenCL::Buffer objects (flat
33memory areas, think arrays or structs) and OpenCL::Image objects (think 2d
34or 3d array) for bulk data and input and output for kernels.
35
36OpenCL::Sampler objects, which are kind of like texture filter modes in
37OpenGL.
38
39OpenCL::Queue objects - command queues, which allow you to submit memory
40reads, writes and copies, as well as kernel calls to your devices. They
41also offer a variety of methods to synchronise request execution, for
42example with barriers or OpenCL::Event objects.
43
44OpenCL::Event objects are used to signal when something is complete.

74=head1 BASIC WORKFLOW
75
76To get something done, you basically have to do this once (refer to the
77examples below for actual code, this is just a high-level description):
78
79Find some platform (e.g. the first one) and some device(s) (e.g. the first
80device of the platform), and create a context from those.
81
82Create program objects from your OpenCL source code, then build (compile)
83the programs for each device you want to run them on.
84
85Create kernel objects for all kernels you want to use (surprisingly, these
86are not device-specific).
87
88Then, to execute stuff, you repeat these steps, possibly resuing or
89sharing some buffers:
90
91Create some input and output buffers from your context. Set these as
92arguments to your kernel.
93
94Enqueue buffer writes to initialise your input buffers (when not
95initialised at creation time).
96
97Enqueue the kernel execution.
98
99Enqueue buffer reads for your output buffer to read results.

310=item How to modify the previous example to not rely on GL sharing.
311
312For those poor souls with only a sucky CPU OpenCL implementation, you
313currently have to read the image into some perl scalar, and then modify a
314texture or use glDrawPixels or so).
315
316First, when you don't need gl sharing, you can create the context much simpler:
317
318 $ctx = $platform->context (undef, [$dev])
319
320To use a texture, you would modify the above example by creating an
321OpenCL::Image manually instead of deriving it from a texture:
322
323 my $tex = $ctx->image2d (OpenCL::MEM_WRITE_ONLY, OpenCL::RGBA, OpenCL::UNORM_INT8, $S, $S);
324
325And in the darw loop, intead of acquire_gl_objects/release_gl_objects, you
326would read the image2d after the kernel has written it:
327
328 $queue->read_image ($tex, 0, 0, 0, 0, $S, $S, 1, 0, 0, my $data);
329
330And then you would upload the pixel data to the texture (or use glDrawPixels):
331
332 glTexSubImage2D_s GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 0, 0, $S, $S, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, $data;
333

337=head1 DOCUMENTATION
338
339=head2 BASIC CONVENTIONS
340
341This is not a one-to-one C-style translation of OpenCL to Perl - instead
342I attempted to make the interface as type-safe as possible by introducing
343object syntax where it makes sense. There are a number of important
344differences between the OpenCL C API and this module:
345
85=over 4 346=over 4
86 347
348=item * Object lifetime managament is automatic - there is no need
349to free objects explicitly (C<clReleaseXXX>), the release function
350is called automatically once all Perl references to it go away.
351
352=item * OpenCL uses CamelCase for function names
353(e.g. C<clGetPlatformIDs>, C<clGetPlatformInfo>), while this module
354uses underscores as word separator and often leaves out prefixes
355(C<OpenCL::platforms>, C<< $platform->info >>).
356
357=item * OpenCL often specifies fixed vector function arguments as short
358arrays (C<size_t origin[3]>), while this module explicitly expects the
359components as separate arguments (C<$orig_x, $orig_y, $orig_z>) in
360function calls.
361
362=item * Structures are often specified by flattening out their components
363as with short vectors, and returned as arrayrefs.
364
365=item * When enqueuing commands, the wait list is specified by adding
366extra arguments to the function - anywhere a C<$wait_events...> argument
367is documented this can be any number of event objects. As an extsnion
368implemented by this module, C<undef> values will be ignored in the event
369list.
370
371=item * When enqueuing commands, if the enqueue method is called in void
372context, no event is created. In all other contexts an event is returned
373by the method.
374
375=item * This module expects all functions to return C<CL_SUCCESS>. If any
376other status is returned the function will throw an exception, so you
377don't normally have to to any error checking.
378
379=back
380
381=head2 PERL AND OPENCL TYPES
382
383This handy(?) table lists OpenCL types and their perl, PDL and pack/unpack
384format equivalents:
385
386 OpenCL perl PDL pack/unpack
387 char IV - c
388 uchar IV byte C
389 short IV short s
390 ushort IV ushort S
391 int IV long? l
392 uint IV - L
393 long IV longlong q
394 ulong IV - Q
395 float NV float f
396 half IV ushort S
397 double NV double d
398
399=head2 GLX SUPPORT
400
401Due to the sad state that OpenGL support is in in Perl (mostly the OpenGL
402module, which has little to no documentation and has little to no support
403for glX), this module, as a special extension, treats context creation
404properties C<OpenCL::GLX_DISPLAY_KHR> and C<OpenCL::GL_CONTEXT_KHR>
405specially: If either or both of these are C<undef>, then the OpenCL
406module tries to dynamically resolve C<glXGetCurrentDisplay> and
407C<glXGetCurrentContext>, call these functions and use their return values
408instead.
409
410For this to work, the OpenGL library must be loaded, a GLX context must
411have been created and be made current, and C<dlsym> must be available and
412capable of finding the function via C<RTLD_DEFAULT>.
413
414=head2 EVENT SYSTEM
415
416OpenCL can generate a number of (potentially) asynchronous events, for
417example, after compiling a program, to signal a context-related error or,
418perhaps most important, to signal completion of queued jobs (by setting
419callbacks on OpenCL::Event objects).
420
421To facilitate this, this module maintains an event queue - each
422time an asynchronous event happens, it is queued, and perl will be
423interrupted. This is implemented via the L<Async::Interrupt> module. In
424addition, this module has L<AnyEvent> support, so it can seamlessly
425integrate itself into many event loops.
426
427Since this module is a bit hard to understand, here are some case examples:
428
429=head3 Don't use callbacks.
430
431When your program never uses any callbacks, then there will never be any
432notifications you need to take care of, and therefore no need to worry
433about all this.
434
435You can achieve a great deal by explicitly waiting for events, or using
436barriers and flush calls. In many programs, there is no need at all to
437tinker with asynchronous events.
438
439=head3 Use AnyEvent
440
441This module automatically registers a watcher that invokes all outstanding
442event callbacks when AnyEvent is initialised (and block asynchronous
443interruptions). Using this mode of operations is the safest and most
444recommended one.
445
446To use this, simply use AnyEvent and this module normally, make sure you
447have an event loop running:
448
449 use Gtk2 -init;
450 use AnyEvent;
451
452 # initialise AnyEvent, by creating a watcher, or:
453 AnyEvent::detect;
454
455 my $e = $queue->marker;
456 $e->cb (sub {
457 warn "opencl is finished\n";
458 })
459
460 main Gtk2;
461
462Note that this module will not initialise AnyEvent for you. Before
463AnyEvent is initialised, the module will asynchronously interrupt perl
464instead. To avoid any surprises, it's best to explicitly initialise
465AnyEvent.
466
467You can temporarily enable asynchronous interruptions (see next paragraph)
468by calling C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->unblock> and disable them again by
469calling C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->block>.
470
471=head3 Let yourself be interrupted at any time
472
473This mode is the default unless AnyEvent is loaded and initialised. In
474this mode, OpenCL asynchronously interrupts a running perl program. The
475emphasis is on both I<asynchronously> and I<running> here.
476
477Asynchronously means that perl might execute your callbacks at any
478time. For example, in the following code (I<THAT YOU SHOULD NOT COPY>),
479the C<until> loop following the marker call will be interrupted by the
480callback:
481
482 my $e = $queue->marker;
483 my $flag;

487
488The reason why you shouldn't blindly copy the above code is that
489busy waiting is a really really bad thing, and really really bad for
490performance.
491
492While at first this asynchronous business might look exciting, it can be
493really hard, because you need to be prepared for the callback code to be
494executed at any time, which limits the amount of things the callback code
495can do safely.
496
497This can be mitigated somewhat by using C<<
498$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->scope_block >> (see the L<Async::Interrupt>
499documentation for details).
500
501The other problem is that your program must be actively I<running> to be
502interrupted. When you calculate stuff, your program is running. When you
503hang in some C functions or other block execution (by calling C<sleep>,
504C<select>, running an event loop and so on), your program is waiting, not
505running.
506
507One way around that would be to attach a read watcher to your event loop,
508listening for events on C<< $OpenCL::INTERRUPT->pipe_fileno >>, using a
509dummy callback (C<sub { }>) to temporarily execute some perl code.
510
511That is then awfully close to using the built-in AnyEvent support above,
512though, so consider that one instead.
513
514=head3 Be creative
515
516OpenCL exports the L<Async::Interrupt> object it uses in the global
517variable C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT>. You can configure it in any way you like.
518
519So if you want to feel like a real pro, err, wait, if you feel no risk
520menas no fun, you can experiment by implementing your own mode of
521operations.

1188=head2 THE OpenCL::Queue CLASS
1189
1190An OpenCL::Queue represents an execution queue for OpenCL. You execute
1191requests by calling their respective method and waiting for it to complete
1192in some way.
1193
1194Most methods that enqueue some request return an event object that can
1195be used to wait for completion (optionally using a callback), unless
1196the method is called in void context, in which case no event object is
1197created.
1198
1199They also allow you to specify any number of other event objects that this
1200request has to wait for before it starts executing, by simply passing the
1201event objects as extra parameters to the enqueue methods. To simplify
1202program design, this module ignores any C<undef> values in the list of
1203events. This makes it possible to code operations such as this, without
1204having to put a valid event object into C<$event> first:
1205
1206 $event = $queue->xxx (..., $event);
1207
1208Queues execute in-order by default, without any parallelism, so in most
1209cases (i.e. you use only one queue) it's not necessary to wait for or
1210create event objects, althoguh an our of order queue is often a bit
1211faster.

1563
1564If a callback is specified, then it will be called when compilation is
1565finished. Note that many OpenCL implementations block your program while
1566compiling whether you use a callback or not. See C<build_async> if you
1567want to make sure the build is done in the background.
1568
1569Note that some OpenCL implementations act up badly, and don't call the
1570callback in some error cases (but call it in others). This implementation
1571assumes the callback will always be called, and leaks memory if this is
1572not so. So best make sure you don't pass in invalid values.
1573
1574Some implementations fail with C<OpenCL::INVALID_BINARY> when the
1575compilation state is successful but some later stage fails.

1735
1736Sets the arguments of a kernel. Since OpenCL 1.1 doesn't have a generic
1737way to set arguments (and with OpenCL 1.2 it might be rather slow), you
1738need to specify a format argument, much as with C<printf>, to tell OpenCL
1739what type of argument it is.
1740
1741The format arguments are single letters:
1742
1743 c char
1744 C unsigned char
1745 s short
1746 S unsigned short
1747 i int
1748 I unsigned int
1749 l long
1750 L unsigned long
1751
1752 h half float (0..65535)
1753 f float
1754 d double
1755
1756 z local (octet size)
1757
1758 m memory object (buffer or image)
1759 a sampler
1760 e event
1761
1762Space characters in the format string are ignored.
1763
1764Example: set the arguments for a kernel that expects an int, two floats, a buffer and an image.
1765
1766 $kernel->setf ("i ff mm", 5, 0.5, 3, $buffer, $image);

1800=item $kernel->set_local ($index, $value)
1801
1802=item $kernel->set_event ($index, $value)
1803
1804This is a family of methods to set the kernel argument with the number
1805C<$index> to the give C<$value>.
1806
1807Chars and integers (including the half type) are specified as integers,
1808float and double as floating point values, memory/buffer/image must be
1809an object of that type or C<undef>, local-memory arguments are set by
1810specifying the size, and sampler and event must be objects of that type.
1811
1812Note that C<set_memory> works for all memory objects (all types of buffers
1813and images) - the main purpose of the more specific C<set_TYPE> functions
1814is type checking.
1815
1816Setting an argument for a kernel does NOT keep a reference to the object -
1817for example, if you set an argument to some image object, free the image,
1818and call the kernel, you will run into undefined behaviour.
