OpenCL: internal implementation tests in MQL5 - page 58

 
Mathemat:

Well, finally, we've been waiting for you. If you are ready to experiment, install Intel OpenCL Runtime ( link instructions).

Run the script without changing anything in it and post the log from "Experts" tab just like your previous colleagues did. The script will take about 3 minutes to run on your gem, bear with me. At the same time we will find out how OpenCL runs on the coolest barebones Sandy Bridge stone.

If you don't have the patience or if you think it's beyond your abilities, that's OK, no offence taken.

P.S. The purpose of this script is to see what a bare CPU can do without any discrete video dragons. I suspect that with Intel Runtime properly inserted, this script will have acceleration around 200 or even slightly higher.

There is some doubt that Intel OpenCL Runtime is installed correctly.

You probably set the CLContextCreate() argument to something other than zero. Well, I asked you not to change anything! We already know the capabilities of your two-headed video dragon. But it seems that you have even several of them.

According to my rough estimations, at CLContextCreate(0) you should have figures about CPU time = 180000 ms and GPU time = 900 ms (approximately). Your first runtime is strangely high for such a CPU. Maybe it was overloaded with other tasks?

Can you just run the script as I attached it - without changing anything in the code, not a single character?

P.S. Of course, maybe device = 0 corresponds not to the CPU but to something else. Well, then experiment (from 0 to 3). The highest GPU time should in theory correspond to the bare CPU, i.e. host.

I didn't change the parameters! Ran it as is.

According to the video, yes it is 2x590.

I tried it again with CLContextCreate(0)1,2,3, the result is the same as before.

The problem may be withIntel OpenCL Runtime.

 
casinonsk:

Ran it again with CLContextCreate(0)1,2,3 the result is the same as before.

All the results are the same? I don't believe it... Well, this script can't have GPU time = 219 ms on a bare CPU. At the very best, it would be about 800 ms, but not about 200 ms.

Here's my typical result (I have Pentium G840 CPU):

2012.04.22 22:23:09    ParallelTester_00-01x (EURUSD,H1)    CpuTime/GpuTime = 88.40817091454272

2012.04.22 22:19:10    ParallelTester_00-01x (EURUSD,H1)    CLGetInfoInteger() returned 1

OK, let's move on.

Ok, forget it.

casinonsk: Just tried again withCLContextCreate(0)

It's obviously on a discrete card, not on CPU: such speedups on emulation are hardly possible. And the number of devices you have is already 5, it's creepy.

If you would not mind running a slightly modified code, please, and post the result here. In the code, calculations for the various OpenCL devices are put into a loop (they should be fast) while calculation on x86, the longest one, is executed only once. It will be long, but the script itself is executed once.

I realise that I am already boring you. But in any case it would be good info for the Support Team.
 

I have an interesting result )) Got it, it's not the total number of devices, it's the current number

2012.04.22 22:02:51     ParallelTester_00-01 x_cycle (EURUSD,M30)        OpenCL init OK! Device number = 0

Although calculations are in progress, I'll post them when ready.

By the way, neither CLGetInfoInteger() nor CL_DEVICE_COUNT are present in help.

PS. result

Update your help, yours is outdated.

2. You have

2012.03.04 22:27:16     Terminal        GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GeForce GT 440 with OpenCL 1.1 (2 units, 1660 MHz, 1024 Mb, version 295.73)
2012.03.04 22:27:16     Terminal        CPU: AuthenticAMD AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 630 Processor with OpenCL 1.1 (4 units, 2812 MHz, 2048 Mb, version 2.0)

very likely the first number, 11357 ms, refers to the host (bare CPU), and the second, 998 ms, refers to the graphics card. The order of gain on the host, roughly speaking, is quite consistent with the acceleration achieved on AMD OpenCL (about 38 times on a 4-core Athlon II). Although a bit small actually, it should be more, somewhere close to 50-60. It is quite possible that your memory is very slow.

The CpuTime/GpuTime figure, of course, is only calculated for the last calculated device.

 
Mathemat:

1. update the help, yours is clearly out of date.

2. The CpuTime/GpuTime figure, of course, is only calculated for the last device calculated.

1. updated manually everything is there, thank you, but is the help not updated along with the terminal and meta-editor?

2. Yes, but still, nice ).

 
papaklass:

With your hardware it's almost clear, you only have the host being an OpenCL device. On the other hand, it's strange how you got such a high result earlier (page 51):

For some reason I can't get the cursor out of the code insertion. And if I quote someone, the same nonsense. Is it a forum bug?

More likely a bug in the forum engine, but not always so. I usually click on the HTML bar and manually insert a couple of letters after the last tag. Then I go back to the visual editing mode of the post.
