Topic 204086

Hi,
I have recently installed Kubuntu 16.04 on my amd (Firepro W2100) pc. I used same hardware at Boinc Einstein@home opencl-ati tasks without any problem(Fedora 22). Also I have installed amdgpu-pro drivers to gain opencl support.

Everything(X apps) works without problem. But I am suffering computation error at opencl-ati(Einstein@Home's Gamma-ray pulsar binary search #1 on GPUs 1.17) tasks. I have also installed amd APP Sdk but nothing changed(I guess It doesn't necessary).

What should I do to finish opencl-ati tasks without problems.
Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to the message

Hi and welcome to the message boards!

Looking at some of your failed tasks the stderr log shows the following error:

boinc_get_opencl_ids returned [0x195caa0 , 0x7fedc9183db8]
Using OpenCL platform provided by: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
Using OpenCL device "Hainan" by: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
Max allocation limit: 985393152
Global mem size: 1476169728
Couldn't create OpenCL command queue (error: -6)!
OpenCL shutdown complete!
initialize_ocl returned error [2013]
OCL context null
OCL queue null
Error generating generic FFT context object [5]
03:44:50 (29131): [CRITICAL]: ERROR: MAIN() returned with error '5'

Something seems to prevent the app from using OpenCL and so it fails. I would start looking at the graphics drivers and make sure OpenCL support is installed and functioning properly.
As I'm not a Linux user maybe someone else can use the above info and give better advice.

https://streamcomputing.eu/blog/2013-04-28/opencl-error-codes/

shows

 

 -6 CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY   if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.

 

what should appear is something like...

boinc_get_opencl_ids returned [0x22693e0 , 0x7fa9b1397db8]

Using OpenCL platform provided by: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Using OpenCL device "Ellesmere" by: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Max allocation limit: 3162329088

Global mem size: 4344250368

OpenCL device has FP64 support

 so a new version after the holiday period which needs less VRAM should help here.
