OpenCL/C：结果始终为零

Question

I'm using Ubntu 20.04 to run my Opencl program with C but whatever the function i execute the results is always zero or other illogical results, it's like kernel not working, Please if anyone has OpenCL, please try this program i want to know if the problem is in the program or in the installation of OpenCL. This is the programme i use.

#define CL_USE_DEPRECATED_OPENCL_1_2APIS
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
 
#include <CL/cl.h>

#define MAX_SOURCE_SIZE (0x100000)
 
int main(void) {
    // Create the two input vectors
    int i;
    const int LIST_SIZE = 10;
    int* A = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*LIST_SIZE);
    int* B = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*LIST_SIZE);
    int* C = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*LIST_SIZE);
    for(i = 0; i < LIST_SIZE; i++) {
        A[i] = i;
        B[i] = LIST_SIZE - i;
        C[i] = 0;
    }
    
    // Load the kernel source code into the array source_str
    /*FILE *fp;
    char *source_str;
   
 
    fp = fopen("vector_add_kernel.cl", "r");
    if (!fp) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to load kernel.\n");
        exit(1);
    }
    source_str = (char*)malloc(MAX_SOURCE_SIZE);
    size_t source_size;
    source_size = fread( source_str, 1, MAX_SOURCE_SIZE, fp);
    fclose( fp );*/

The code looks oddly familiar to me... With my PC it works as intended. I suppose the issue is that on your system no OpenCL device is detected. With this code snippet, you can select a platform and device:

// Get platform and device information
    const int select_platform = 0;
    const int select_device = 0;
    cl_platform_id* platform_ids = NULL;
    cl_uint nr_platforms = 0;
    cl_device_id* device_ids = NULL;   
    cl_uint nr_devices = 0;
    cl_device_id device_id = NULL;
    cl_int ret = clGetPlatformIDs(0, NULL, &nr_platforms);
    if(ret!=CL_SUCCESS || nr_platforms==0) std::cerr << "no OpenCL platforms found" << std::endl;
    platform_ids = (cl_platform_id*)malloc(nr_platforms * sizeof(*platform_ids));
    ret = clGetPlatformIDs(nr_platforms, platform_ids, &nr_platforms);
    ret = clGetDeviceIDs(platform_ids[select_platform], CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL, 0, device_ids, &nr_devices);
    if(ret!=CL_SUCCESS || nr_devices==0) std::cerr << "no OpenCL devices found on that platform" << std::endl;
    device_ids = (cl_device_id*)malloc(nr_devices * sizeof(*device_ids));
    ret = clGetDeviceIDs(platform_ids[select_platform], CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL, nr_devices, device_ids, &nr_devices);
    device_id = device_ids[select_device];
    char name[1024];
    clGetDeviceInfo(device_id, CL_DEVICE_NAME, 1024, name, NULL);
    std::cout << "selected device: " << name << std::endl;

Check different values of select_platform and select_device . If there is no device found on any platform, make sure to have compatible hardware and the latest graphics drivers or CPU runtime installed.

To make OpenCL development much less painful, consider this OpenCL-Wrapper . This automatically selects the fastest available OpenCL device for you in 1 line of code:

Device device(select_device_with_most_flops());

Alternatively, you can autiomatically select the device with most memory

Device device(select_device_with_most_memory());

or a device with specified ID:

Device device(select_device_with_id(1));
