10
11 This is an early release which might be useful, but hasn't seen much testing.
12
13 =head2 OpenCL FROM 10000 FEET HEIGHT
14
15 Here is a high level overview of OpenCL:
16
17 First you need to find one or more OpenCL::Platforms (kind of like
18 vendors) - usually there is only one.
19
20 Each platform gives you access to a number of OpenCL::Device objects, e.g.
21 your graphics card.
22
23 From a platform and some device(s), you create an OpenCL::Context, which is
24 a very central object in OpenCL: Once you have a context you can create
25 most other objects:
26
27 OpenCL::Program objects, which store source code and, after building for a
28 specific device ("compiling and linking"), also binary programs. For each
29 kernel function in a program you can then create an OpenCL::Kernel object
30 which represents basically a function call with argument values.
31
32 OpenCL::Memory objects of various flavours: OpenCL::Buffer objects (flat
33 memory areas, think arrays or structs) and OpenCL::Image objects (think 2d
34 or 3d array) for bulk data and input and output for kernels.
35
36 OpenCL::Sampler objects, which are kind of like texture filter modes in
37 OpenGL.
38
39 OpenCL::Queue objects - command queues, which allow you to submit memory
40 reads, writes and copies, as well as kernel calls to your devices. They
41 also offer a variety of methods to synchronise request execution, for
42 example with barriers or OpenCL::Event objects.
43
44 OpenCL::Event objects are used to signal when something is complete.

59 If you are into UML class diagrams, the following diagram might help - if
60 not, it will be mildly confusing (also, the class hierarchy of this module
61 is much more fine-grained):

73
74 =head1 BASIC WORKFLOW
75
76 To get something done, you basically have to do this once (refer to the
77 examples below for actual code, this is just a high-level description):
78
79 Find some platform (e.g. the first one) and some device(s) (e.g. the first
80 device of the platform), and create a context from those.
81
82 Create program objects from your OpenCL source code, then build (compile)
83 the programs for each device you want to run them on.
84
85 Create kernel objects for all kernels you want to use (surprisingly, these
86 are not device-specific).
87
88 Then, to execute stuff, you repeat these steps, possibly resuing or
89 sharing some buffers:
90
91 Create some input and output buffers from your context. Set these as
92 arguments to your kernel.
93
94 Enqueue buffer writes to initialise your input buffers (when not
95 initialised at creation time).
96
97 Enqueue the kernel execution.
98
99 Enqueue buffer reads for your output buffer to read results.
100
101 =head1 EXAMPLES
102
103 =head2 Enumerate all devices and get contexts for them.
104
105 Best run this once to get a feel for the platforms and devices in your
106 system.
107
108 for my $platform (OpenCL::platforms) {
109 printf "platform: %s\n", $platform->name;
110 printf "extensions: %s\n", $platform->extensions;
111 for my $device ($platform->devices) {
112 printf "+ device: %s\n", $device->name;
113 my $ctx = $platform->context (undef, [$device]);
114 # do stuff
115 }
116 }
117
118 =head2 Get a useful context and a command queue.
119
120 This is a useful boilerplate for any OpenCL program that only wants to use
121 one device,
122
123 my ($platform) = OpenCL::platforms; # find first platform
124 my ($dev) = $platform->devices; # find first device of platform
125 my $ctx = $platform->context (undef, [$dev]); # create context out of those
126 my $queue = $ctx->queue ($dev); # create a command queue for the device
127
128 =head2 Print all supported image formats of a context.
129
130 Best run this once for your context, to see whats available and how to
131 gather information.
132
133 for my $type (OpenCL::MEM_OBJECT_IMAGE2D, OpenCL::MEM_OBJECT_IMAGE3D) {
134 print "supported image formats for ", OpenCL::enum2str $type, "\n";
135
136 for my $f ($ctx->supported_image_formats (0, $type)) {
137 printf " %-10s %-20s\n", OpenCL::enum2str $f->[0], OpenCL::enum2str $f->[1];
138 }
139 }
140
141 =head2 Create a buffer with some predefined data, read it back synchronously,
142 then asynchronously.
143
144 my $buf = $ctx->buffer_sv (OpenCL::MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR, "helmut");
145
146 $queue->read_buffer ($buf, 1, 1, 3, my $data);
147 print "$data\n";
148
149 my $ev = $queue->read_buffer ($buf, 0, 1, 3, my $data);
150 $ev->wait;
151 print "$data\n"; # prints "elm"
152
153 =head2 Create and build a program, then create a kernel out of one of its
154 functions.
155
156 my $src = '
157 kernel void
158 squareit (global float *input, global float *output)
159 {
160 $id = get_global_id (0);
161 output [id] = input [id] * input [id];
162 }
163 ';
164
165 my $prog = $ctx->build_program ($src);
166 my $kernel = $prog->kernel ("squareit");
167
168 =head2 Create some input and output float buffers, then call the
169 'squareit' kernel on them.
170
171 my $input = $ctx->buffer_sv (OpenCL::MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR, pack "f*", 1, 2, 3, 4.5);
172 my $output = $ctx->buffer (0, OpenCL::SIZEOF_FLOAT * 5);
173
174 # set buffer
175 $kernel->set_buffer (0, $input);
176 $kernel->set_buffer (1, $output);
177
178 # execute it for all 4 numbers
179 $queue->nd_range_kernel ($kernel, undef, [4], undef);
180
181 # enqueue a synchronous read
182 $queue->read_buffer ($output, 1, 0, OpenCL::SIZEOF_FLOAT * 4, my $data);
183
184 # print the results:
185 printf "%s\n", join ", ", unpack "f*", $data;
186
187 =head2 The same enqueue operations as before, but assuming an out-of-order queue,
188 showing off barriers.
189
190 # execute it for all 4 numbers
191 $queue->nd_range_kernel ($kernel, undef, [4], undef);
192
193 # enqueue a barrier to ensure in-order execution
194 $queue->barrier;
195
196 # enqueue an async read
197 $queue->read_buffer ($output, 0, 0, OpenCL::SIZEOF_FLOAT * 4, my $data);
198
199 # wait for all requests to finish
200 $queue->finish;
201
202 =head2 The same enqueue operations as before, but assuming an out-of-order queue,
203 showing off event objects and wait lists.
204
205 # execute it for all 4 numbers
206 my $ev = $queue->nd_range_kernel ($kernel, undef, [4], undef);
207
208 # enqueue an async read
209 $ev = $queue->read_buffer ($output, 0, 0, OpenCL::SIZEOF_FLOAT * 4, my $data, $ev);
210
211 # wait for the last event to complete

310 =head2 How to modify the previous example to not rely on GL sharing.
311
312 For those poor souls with only a sucky CPU OpenCL implementation, you
313 currently have to read the image into some perl scalar, and then modify a
314 texture or use glDrawPixels or so).
315
316 First, when you don't need gl sharing, you can create the context much simpler:
317
318 $ctx = $platform->context (undef, [$dev])
319
320 To use a texture, you would modify the above example by creating an
321 OpenCL::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
325 And in the darw loop, intead of acquire_gl_objects/release_gl_objects, you
326 would 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
330 And 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
334 The fully modified example can be found at
335 L<http://cvs.schmorp.de/OpenCL/examples/juliaflight-nosharing>.
336
337 =head1 DOCUMENTATION
338
339 =head2 BASIC CONVENTIONS
340
341 This is not a one-to-one C-style translation of OpenCL to Perl - instead
342 I attempted to make the interface as type-safe as possible by introducing
343 object syntax where it makes sense. There are a number of important
344 differences between the OpenCL C API and this module:
345
346 =over 4
347
348 =item * Object lifetime managament is automatic - there is no need
349 to free objects explicitly (C<clReleaseXXX>), the release function
350 is 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
354 uses underscores as word separator and often leaves out prefixes
355 (C<OpenCL::platforms>, C<< $platform->info >>).
356
357 =item * OpenCL often specifies fixed vector function arguments as short
358 arrays (C<size_t origin[3]>), while this module explicitly expects the
359 components as separate arguments (C<$orig_x, $orig_y, $orig_z>) in
360 function calls.
361
362 =item * Structures are often specified by flattening out their components
363 as with short vectors, and returned as arrayrefs.
364
365 =item * When enqueuing commands, the wait list is specified by adding
366 extra arguments to the function - anywhere a C<$wait_events...> argument
367 is documented this can be any number of event objects. As an extsnion
368 implemented by this module, C<undef> values will be ignored in the event
369 list.
370
371 =item * When enqueuing commands, if the enqueue method is called in void
372 context, no event is created. In all other contexts an event is returned
373 by the method.
374
375 =item * This module expects all functions to return C<CL_SUCCESS>. If any
376 other status is returned the function will throw an exception, so you
377 don't normally have to to any error checking.
378
379 =back
380
381 =head2 PERL AND OPENCL TYPES
382
383 This handy(?) table lists OpenCL types and their perl, PDL and pack/unpack
384 format 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
401 Due to the sad state that OpenGL support is in in Perl (mostly the OpenGL
402 module, which has little to no documentation and has little to no support
403 for glX), this module, as a special extension, treats context creation
404 properties C<OpenCL::GLX_DISPLAY_KHR> and C<OpenCL::GL_CONTEXT_KHR>
405 specially: If either or both of these are C<undef>, then the OpenCL
406 module tries to dynamically resolve C<glXGetCurrentDisplay> and
407 C<glXGetCurrentContext>, call these functions and use their return values
408 instead.
409
410 For this to work, the OpenGL library must be loaded, a GLX context must
411 have been created and be made current, and C<dlsym> must be available and
412 capable of finding the function via C<RTLD_DEFAULT>.
413
414 =head2 EVENT SYSTEM
415
416 OpenCL can generate a number of (potentially) asynchronous events, for
417 example, after compiling a program, to signal a context-related error or,
418 perhaps most important, to signal completion of queued jobs (by setting
419 callbacks on OpenCL::Event objects).
420
421 To facilitate this, this module maintains an event queue - each
422 time an asynchronous event happens, it is queued, and perl will be
423 interrupted. This is implemented via the L<Async::Interrupt> module. In
424 addition, this module has L<AnyEvent> support, so it can seamlessly
425 integrate itself into many event loops.
426
427 Since this module is a bit hard to understand, here are some case examples:
428
429 =head3 Don't use callbacks.
430
431 When your program never uses any callbacks, then there will never be any
432 notifications you need to take care of, and therefore no need to worry
433 about all this.
434
435 You can achieve a great deal by explicitly waiting for events, or using
436 barriers and flush calls. In many programs, there is no need at all to
437 tinker with asynchronous events.
438
439 =head3 Use AnyEvent
440
441 This module automatically registers a watcher that invokes all outstanding
442 event callbacks when AnyEvent is initialised (and block asynchronous
443 interruptions). Using this mode of operations is the safest and most
444 recommended one.
445
446 To use this, simply use AnyEvent and this module normally, make sure you
447 have 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 $e->cb (sub {
457 warn "opencl is finished\n";
458 })
459
460 main Gtk2;
461
462 Note that this module will not initialise AnyEvent for you. Before
463 AnyEvent is initialised, the module will asynchronously interrupt perl
464 instead. To avoid any surprises, it's best to explicitly initialise
465 AnyEvent.
466
467 You can temporarily enable asynchronous interruptions (see next paragraph)
468 by calling C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->unblock> and disable them again by
469 calling C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->block>.
470
471 =head3 Let yourself be interrupted at any time
472
473 This mode is the default unless AnyEvent is loaded and initialised. In
474 this mode, OpenCL asynchronously interrupts a running perl program. The
475 emphasis is on both I<asynchronously> and I<running> here.
476
477 Asynchronously means that perl might execute your callbacks at any
478 time. For example, in the following code (I<THAT YOU SHOULD NOT COPY>),
479 the C<until> loop following the marker call will be interrupted by the
480 callback:
481
482 my $e = $queue->marker;
483 my $flag;
484 $e->cb (sub { $flag = 1 });
485 1 until $flag;
486 # $flag is now 1
487
488 The reason why you shouldn't blindly copy the above code is that
489 busy waiting is a really really bad thing, and really really bad for
490 performance.
491
492 While at first this asynchronous business might look exciting, it can be
493 really hard, because you need to be prepared for the callback code to be
494 executed at any time, which limits the amount of things the callback code
495 can do safely.
496
497 This can be mitigated somewhat by using C<<
498 $OpenCL::INTERRUPT->scope_block >> (see the L<Async::Interrupt>
499 documentation for details).
500
501 The other problem is that your program must be actively I<running> to be
502 interrupted. When you calculate stuff, your program is running. When you
503 hang in some C functions or other block execution (by calling C<sleep>,
504 C<select>, running an event loop and so on), your program is waiting, not
505 running.
506
507 One way around that would be to attach a read watcher to your event loop,
508 listening for events on C<< $OpenCL::INTERRUPT->pipe_fileno >>, using a
509 dummy callback (C<sub { }>) to temporarily execute some perl code.
510
511 That is then awfully close to using the built-in AnyEvent support above,
512 though, so consider that one instead.
513
514 =head3 Be creative
515
516 OpenCL exports the L<Async::Interrupt> object it uses in the global
517 variable C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT>. You can configure it in any way you like.
518
519 So if you want to feel like a real pro, err, wait, if you feel no risk
520 menas no fun, you can experiment by implementing your own mode of
521 operations.

1202 =head2 THE OpenCL::Queue CLASS
1203
1204 An OpenCL::Queue represents an execution queue for OpenCL. You execute
1205 requests by calling their respective method and waiting for it to complete
1206 in some way.
1207
1208 Most methods that enqueue some request return an event object that can
1209 be used to wait for completion (optionally using a callback), unless
1210 the method is called in void context, in which case no event object is
1211 created.
1212
1213 They also allow you to specify any number of other event objects that this
1214 request has to wait for before it starts executing, by simply passing the
1215 event objects as extra parameters to the enqueue methods. To simplify
1216 program design, this module ignores any C<undef> values in the list of
1217 events. This makes it possible to code operations such as this, without
1218 having to put a valid event object into C<$event> first:
1219
1220 $event = $queue->xxx (..., $event);
1221
1222 Queues execute in-order by default, without any parallelism, so in most
1223 cases (i.e. you use only one queue) it's not necessary to wait for or
1224 create event objects, althoguh an our of order queue is often a bit
1225 faster.

1384 =head3 MEMORY MAPPED BUFFERS
1385
1386 OpenCL allows you to map buffers and images to host memory (read: perl
1387 scalars). This is done much like reading or copying a buffer, by enqueuing
1388 a map or unmap operation on the command queue.
1389
1390 The map operations return an C<OpenCL::Mapped> object - see L<THE
1391 OpenCL::Mapped CLASS> section for details on what to do with these
1392 objects.
1393
1394 The object will be unmapped automatically when the mapped object is
1395 destroyed (you can use a barrier to make sure the unmap has finished,
1396 before using the buffer in a kernel), but you can also enqueue an unmap
1397 operation manually.
1398

1401 =item $mapped_buffer = $queue->map_buffer ($buf, $blocking=1, $map_flags=OpenCL::MAP_READ|OpenCL::MAP_WRITE, $offset=0, $size=undef, $wait_events...)
1402
1403 Maps the given buffer into host memory and returns an
1404 C<OpenCL::MappedBuffer> object. If C<$size> is specified as undef, then
1405 the map will extend to the end of the buffer.
1406
1407 L<http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.1/docs/man/xhtml/clEnqueueMapBuffer.html>
1408
1409 Example: map the buffer $buf fully and replace the first 4 bytes by "abcd", then unmap.
1410
1411 {
1412 my $mapped = $queue->map_buffer ($buf, 1, OpenCL::MAP_WRITE);
1413 substr $$mapped, 0, 4, "abcd";
1414 } # asynchronously unmap because $mapped is destroyed
1415
1416 =item $mapped_image = $queue->map_image ($img, $blocking=1, $map_flags=OpenCL::MAP_READ|OpenCL::MAP_WRITE, $x=0, $y=0, $z=0, $width=undef, $height=undef, $depth=undef, $wait_events...)
1417
1418 Maps the given image area into host memory and return an
1419 C<OpenCL::MappedImage> object.
1420
1421 If any of C<$width>, C<$height> and/or C<$depth> are C<undef> then they
1422 will be replaced by the maximum possible value.
1423
1424 L<http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.1/docs/man/xhtml/clEnqueueMapImage.html>
1425
1426 Example: map an image (with OpenCL::UNSIGNED_INT8 channel type) and set
1427 the first channel of the leftmost column to 5, then explicitly unmap
1428 it. You are not necessarily meant to do it this way, this example just
1429 shows you the accessors to use :)
1430
1431 my $mapped = $queue->map_image ($image, 1, OpenCL::MAP_WRITE);
1432
1433 $mapped->set ($_ * $mapped->row_pitch, pack "C", 5)
1434 for 0..$image->height;
1435
1436 $mapped->unmap;.
1437 $mapped->wait; # only needed for out of order queues normally
1438
1439 =item $ev = $queue->unmap ($mapped, $wait_events...)
1440
1441 Unmaps the data from host memory. You must not call any methods that
1442 modify the data, or modify the data scalar directly, after calling this
1443 method.
1444
1445 The mapped event object will always be passed as part of the
1446 $wait_events. The mapped event object will be replaced by the new event
1447 object that this request creates.

1645 If a callback is specified, then it will be called when compilation is

1647 compiling whether you use a callback or not. See C<build_async> if you
1648 want to make sure the build is done in the background.
1649
1650 Note that some OpenCL implementations act up badly, and don't call the
1651 callback in some error cases (but call it in others). This implementation
1652 assumes the callback will always be called, and leaks memory if this is
1653 not so. So best make sure you don't pass in invalid values.

1816
1817 Sets the arguments of a kernel. Since OpenCL 1.1 doesn't have a generic
1818 way to set arguments (and with OpenCL 1.2 it might be rather slow), you
1819 need to specify a format argument, much as with C<printf>, to tell OpenCL
1820 what type of argument it is.
1821
1822 The format arguments are single letters:
1823
1824 c char
1825 C unsigned char
1826 s short
1827 S unsigned short
1828 i int
1829 I unsigned int
1830 l long
1831 L unsigned long
1832
1833 h half float (0..65535)
1834 f float
1835 d double
1836
1837 z local (octet size)
1838
1839 m memory object (buffer or image)
1840 a sampler
1841 e event
1842
1843 Space characters in the format string are ignored.
1844
1845 Example: set the arguments for a kernel that expects an int, two floats, a buffer and an image.

1884
1885 This is a family of methods to set the kernel argument with the number
1886 C<$index> to the give C<$value>.
1887
1888 Chars and integers (including the half type) are specified as integers,
1889 float and double as floating point values, memory/buffer/image must be
1890 an object of that type or C<undef>, local-memory arguments are set by
1891 specifying the size, and sampler and event must be objects of that type.
1892
1893 Note that C<set_memory> works for all memory objects (all types of buffers
1894 and images) - the main purpose of the more specific C<set_TYPE> functions
1895 is type checking.
1896
1897 Setting an argument for a kernel does NOT keep a reference to the object -
1898 for example, if you set an argument to some image object, free the image,
1899 and call the kernel, you will run into undefined behaviour.

2001 =head2 THE OpenCL::Mapped CLASS
2002
2003 This class represents objects mapped into host memory. They are
2004 represented by a blessed string scalar. The string data is the mapped
2005 memory area, that is, if you read or write it, then the mapped object is
2006 accessed directly.
2007
2008 You must only ever use operations that modify the string in-place - for
2009 example, a C<substr> that doesn't change the length, or maybe a regex that
2010 doesn't change the length. Any other operation might cause the data to be
2011 copied.
2012
2013 When the object is destroyed it will enqueue an implicit unmap operation
2014 on the queue that was used to create it.
2015
2016 Keep in mind that you I<need> to unmap (or destroy) mapped objects before
2017 OpenCL sees the changes, even if some implementations don't need this
2018 sometimes.
2019
2020 Example, replace the first two floats in the mapped buffer by 1 and 2.
2021
2022 my $mapped = $queue->map_buffer ($buf, ...
2023 $mapped->event->wait; # make sure it's there
2024
2025 # now replace first 8 bytes by new data, which is exactly 8 bytes long
2026 # we blindly assume device endianness to equal host endianness

2044 Return the event object associated with the mapped object. Initially, this

2053 =item $bytes = $mapped->size
2054
2055 Returns the size of the mapped area, in bytes. Same as C<length $$mapped>.
2056
2057 =item $ptr = $mapped->ptr
2058
2059 Returns the raw memory address of the mapped area.
2060
2061 =item $mapped->set ($offset, $data)
2062
2063 Replaces the data at the given C<$offset> in the memory area by the new
2064 C<$data>. This method is safer than direct manipulation of C<$mapped>
2065 because it does bounds-checking, but also slower.
2066
2067 =item $data = $mapped->get ($offset, $length)
2068
2069 Returns (without copying) a scalar representing the data at the given
2070 C<$offset> and C<$length> in the mapped memory area. This is the same as
2071 the following substr, except much slower;
2072
2073 $data = substr $$mapped, $offset, $length
