1.OpenCL概念
OpenCL是一个为异构平台编写程序的框架,此异构平台可由CPU、GPU或其他类型的处理器组成。OpenCL由一门用于编写kernels (在OpenCL设备上运行的函数)的语言(基于C99)和一组用于定义并控制平台的API组成。
OpenCL提供了两种层面的并行机制:任务并行与数据并行。
2.OpenCL与CUDA的区别
不同点:OpenCL是通用的异构平台编程语言,为了兼顾不同设备,使用繁琐。
CUDA是nvidia公司发明的专门在其GPGPU上的编程的框架,使用简单,好入门。
相同点:都是基于任务并行与数据并行。
3.OpenCL的编程步骤
(1)Discover and initialize the platforms
调用两次clGetPlatformIDs函数,第一次获取可用的平台数量,第二次获取一个可用的平台。
(2)Discover and initialize the devices
调用两次clGetDeviceIDs函数,第一次获取可用的设备数量,第二次获取一个可用的设备。
(3)Create a context(调用clCreateContext函数)
上下文context可能会管理多个设备device。
(4)Create a command queue(调用clCreateCommandQueue函数)
一个设备device对应一个command queue。
上下文conetxt将命令发送到设备对应的command queue,设备就可以执行命令队列里的命令。
(5)Create device buffers(调用clCreateBuffer函数)
Buffer中保存的是数据对象,就是设备执行程序需要的数据保存在其中。
Buffer由上下文conetxt创建,这样上下文管理的多个设备就会共享Buffer中的数据。
(6)Write host data to device buffers(调用clEnqueueWriteBuffer函数)
(7)Create and compile the program
创建程序对象,程序对象就代表你的程序源文件或者二进制代码数据。
(8)Create the kernel(调用clCreateKernel函数)
(9)Set the kernel arguments(调用clSetKernelArg函数)
(10)Configure the work-item structure(设置worksize)
配置work-item的组织形式(维数,group组成等)
(11)Enqueue the kernel for execution(调用clEnqueueNDRangeKernel函数)
将kernel对象,以及 work-item参数放入命令队列中进行执行。
(12)Read the output buffer back to the host(调用clEnqueueReadBuffer函数)
(13)Release OpenCL resources(至此结束整个运行过程)
4.说明
OpenCL中的核函数必须单列一个文件。
OpenCL的编程一般步骤就是上面的13步,太长了,以至于要想做个向量加法都是那么困难。
不过上面的步骤前3步一般是固定的,可以单独写在一个.h/.cpp文件中,其他的一般也不会有什么大的变化。
