Topic 220609

A batch of tasks for Gravitational Wave search O2 Multi-Directional GPU v2.07 () x86_64-pc-linux-gnu just failed fast on my system which I've been using successfully for other OpenCL projects. In this case, the program fails to compile with a detailed build error that I hope will be useful to the program developers here. 

 

Here's a link to one of the tasks. The portion of the program log containing the build error is this:

 

XLAL Error - XLALGetOpenCLProgramFromSource (/home/jenkins/workspace/workspace/EaH-GW-OpenCL-Testing/SLAVE/LIBC215/TARGET/linux-x86_64/EinsteinAtHome/source/lalsuite/lalpulsar/src/OpenCLutils.c:612): clBuildProgram failed: CL_BUILD_PROGRAM_FAILURE .

I have highlighted the messages I believe to be critical to understanding the failure. All of the tasks in this batch failed in exactly the same way.

 

I'm using the ROCm (Radeon Open Compute) drivers for OpenCL on Linux 5.3.7 with a Radeon RX Vega 64, supporting the full OpenCL 2.0 profile. Here is the output of clinfo:

Anyone? I have to suspend

Anyone? I have to suspend this project until the problem is solved, since every GPU task is failing immediately.

Pretty sure NO BOINC project

Pretty sure NO BOINC project supports RocM drivers.  You must use the stock proprietary AMD drivers with the OpenCL legacy option during install.

That's not helpful. All the other GPU projects I've signed up for are working with these drivers. None of those projects have any opinion concerning the OpenCL ICD in use. You do not appear to be affiliated with this project; kindly refrain from telling others what they "must" do.

Besides. If this were a driver problem, I would be seeing the application attempt to execute -- but this is a build problem. It isn't getting that far. The code isn't even compiling. That means I need one of the project developers to respond -- someone who is actually qualified to examine the code.

It may be possible that my system OpenCL headers are at a different version than the code is compatible with, but again, that is a question only the project developers can answer.

Edit: my originally reported task seems to have aged out and is no longer viewable from the link in the OP. Here are my current tasks.

I've gone ahead and

I've gone ahead and researched the problem myself. Standard disclaimer: I am not a C programmer, and I do not program in OpenCL, but I am literate, and I can break apart this program just enough to see what's going on.

I am about to get very technical, so let's run it from the top.

When you run this application in BOINC on Linux with an AMD GPU, you are running a binary called einstein_O2MDF_2.07_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__GW-opencl-ati for this particular version of the app. This is a big, opaque thing to me, and I can't see most of what it's doing, but I took one of my jobs out of BOINC to try and run it standalone. The thing runs from a BOINC slot with a command line like this:

That is a doozy. Almost all of the command arguments are just the parameters of that particular job and don't matter to the problem -- they're just necessary to get the program running where I can retry several times and debug its execution.

As the standard error stream indicates, very early on the app has to build several OpenCL kernels. One of these kernels has a problem with address space casting. Here's the message from the build log again:

XLAL Error - XLALGetOpenCLProgramFromSource (/home/jenkins/workspace/workspace/EaH-GW-OpenCL-Testing/SLAVE/LIBC215/TARGET/linux-x86_64/EinsteinAtHome/source/lalsuite/lalpulsar/src/OpenCLutils.c:612): clBuildProgram failed: CL_BUILD_PROGRAM_FAILURE . Error message:
/tmp/comgr-8d6b77/input/CompileSource:175:42: error: passing 'REAL4 *' (aka 'float *') to parameter of type 'const REAL4 *' (aka 'const float *') changes address space of pointer
  outBSGL[j] = XLALComputeBSGL( twoF[j], twoFPerDet_local, setup );
                                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm not sure whether the preformatted text here is going to render properly after I submit the post, so I've added my own emphasis. Here's what the error means: the compiler is indicating that a parameter called twoFPerDet_local was given the type 'const REAL4 *' in the function definition of XLALComputeBSGL(), but the argument passed to the function for this parameter has a different type: just 'REAL4 *'. But this is only part of the problem -- the real issue is the "changes address space of pointer" bit. More on that shortly.

Since I ran the app standalone, I was able to grab the temporary files it creates on my machine for building the OpenCL kernels, which contain the source code.

Here's the function definition for XLALComputeBSGL():

REAL4
 XLALComputeBSGL ( const REAL4 twoF,
                   const REAL4 twoFPerDet[PULSAR_MAX_DETECTORS],
                   __global const BSGLSetup *setup
                   )
 {
   // meaty, irrelevant stuff
 }

Pay close attention to the definition of the second parameter: const REAL4 twoFPerDet[PULSAR_MAX_DETECTORS]

Now, here's where something very, very subtle happens. Here's the definition of another function -- the one that fails to compile:

__kernel void XLALVectorComputeBSGL ( __global REAL4 *outBSGL,
                                      __global const REAL4 *twoF,
                                      __global const REAL4 *twoFPerDet,
                                      const UINT4 len,
                                      __global const BSGLSetup *setup
                                      )
 {
   UINT4 j = get_global_id(0);
   if (j >= len) return;
   REAL4 twoFPerDet_local[PULSAR_MAX_DETECTORS];
   for ( UINT4 i = 0 ; i < PULSAR_MAX_DETECTORS; i++ )
     {
       twoFPerDet_local[i] = twoFPerDet[j+len*i];
     }
   outBSGL[j] = XLALComputeBSGL( twoF[j], twoFPerDet_local, setup );
 } 

This is where address spaces come in. See the __global qualifiers on all of those variables? We're inside a __kernel function, which has special rules. Namely:

__kernel function arguments declared to be a pointer of a type can point to one of the following address spaces only: __global, __local or __constant. A pointer to address space A can only be assigned to a pointer to the same address space A. Casting a pointer to address space A to a pointer to address space B is illegal.

At some point inside of this function, we declare a local variable and initialize it from a pointer in the __global address space. Then we go and pass that local variable as an argument to another function that has no address space qualifier on the corresponding parameter. The compiler does not like this.

The same thing happens a bit later in another kernel function XLALVectorComputeBSGLtL() when it passes an argument with similar properties to XLALComputeBSGLtL().

Now some details get a little fuzzy to me: this isn't biting everyone, is it? It appears that some compilers are more strict than others. If you're on a system that supports OpenCL 2.0 (like mine), there is a feature in this version that allows programmers to get away with not explicitly qualifying the address space in some situations, but you have to turn it on when you call clBuildProgram() or the default 1.2 compatibility specifications will cause this to blow up. It's not clear to me whether the Einstein GPU apps are supposed to be OpenCL 1.2 or OpenCL 2.0 programs.

What is clear to me is that if the programmers simply reconcile the address space qualifiers for these variables, we'll get past this specific problem on all compilers. I can't say what the prevalence of this issue is because it is doubtful most casual users are technical enough to properly report it let alone notice it, but a bit of googling shows that programmers have been running into it all over the place.

Moderators: consider this a bug report, please. If you had a bug tracker or a git repository somewhere, I'd be happy to submit a patch.

Was it really necessary to do that??  You post about a problem you are having that is clearly well outside the skill set of the bulk of ordinary volunteers, you beg for anyone to respond, and when someone actually tries to be helpful, you reward that with quite some invective.  If you're so confident that you know exactly where the problem lies, then I suggest you desist from deliberately insulting a respondent just trying to help and wait patiently for someone who is qualified to study the problem in depth and is, perhaps, able to do something about it.

If you know anything about how University type research environments operate, you would realise that often the scientists themselves and not professional teams of programmers, are the ones that have to do a lot of the grunt work in developing the very specialised applications needed.  There is often insufficient funding and resources to make that happen quickly.  You haven't received a single 'developer' type response to your problem, after all this time that your message has been up.  Doesn't that tell you something?  It suggests to me that they are already stretched to the limit in supporting what they have already without delving into new and uncharted territory.  They would also be concluding that you could make changes to the way you operate so that the tasks wouldn't end in error.  That would tend to lower the urgency for looking into this particular problem.

I'm not a programmer at all so I have no idea of how to solve your problem.  I would give you much the same response as Keith, except that I would word it this way:-

AMD are on a path to developing ROCm as the future framework under which compute applications will run.  It's under active development and (reading between the lines) it's not ready for prime time yet and it's not surprising that some more 'traditional' applications don't yet work properly with it.  We know for certain that your type of GPU can run the current science apps using the existing OpenCL implementations that (hopefully one day) will be replaced by ROCm when it is fully developed.  If you wish to run these Einstein apps now, and in the absence of any staff response, you may need to consider using the currently supported OpenCL implementations.

Thanks for providing the new link.

If you ever need to post excerpts like those shown in your first post, please take a look at the toolbar across the top of the message composition window.  At the far right hand end (3rd from the right) is a "Post as plain text" icon which allows you to get rid of the hidden control characters which otherwise disrupt the formatting of what you are trying to show.  So just click that icon before pasting the content you wish to show.  Post the content between [ code ] tags which should preserve the spacing of any columnised data.  You can also add [ size ] and [ font ] tags to change both those things.  The BBCODE HELP below the composition window is also quite good to read.  Here is an example of your latest error message using this technique.  It's tends to be somewhat easier to read :-).

I had not seen this further response until after I posted my response to your earlier post.

My first response still stands - there's absolutely no reason to be downright rude towards someone just trying to help.

I do understand (in a basic fashion) your explanation of what is causing the app to fail for your setup.  I would guess that the app has been coded with OpenCL 1.2 behaviour in mind and is not necessarily 2.0 compliant.  If your analysis is correct, then perhaps this problem can be resolved fairly easily without causing any regressions for the vast bulk of people still using OpenCL 1.2 implementations.

I suggest you send a PM to Bernd Maschenschalk who will know exactly who is responsible for the code.  Either send him a copy of your analysis or point him towards your analysis message.  If it's easy to solve, I'm sure it will be attended to.

Cheers,
Gary.

... Was it really necessary to do that??  You post about a problem you are having that is clearly well outside the skill set of the bulk of ordinary volunteers, you beg for anyone to respond, and when someone actually tries to be helpful, you reward that with quite some invective.  If you're so confident that you know exactly where the problem lies, then I suggest you desist from deliberately insulting a respondent just trying to help and wait patiently for someone who is qualified to study the problem in depth and is, perhaps, able to do something about it. ...
