I try blocking and non-blocking version of clEnqueueWriteBuffer, It seem that non-blocking is not faster than blocking.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <CL/cl.h>
long long get_time() {
struct timeval tv;
gettimeofday(&tv, NULL);
return (tv.tv_sec * 1000000) + tv.tv_usec;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
cl_int status = CL_SUCCESS; // Used to handle error codes
cl_platform_id platform;
cl_context context;
cl_command_queue queue;
cl_device_id device;
long long time0, time1;
int n = 2500000;
size_t mem_size = sizeof(float) * n;
float *host_buffer = (float*) malloc(mem_size);
cl_mem device_buffer;
status = clGetPlatformIDs(1, &platform, NULL);
status = clGetDeviceIDs(platform, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU, 1, &device, NULL);
context = clCreateContext(0, 1, &device, NULL, NULL, &status);
queue = clCreateCommandQueue(context, device, 0, &status);
device_buffer = clCreateBuffer(context, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY, mem_size, host_buffer, &status);
time0 = get_time();
status = clEnqueueWriteBuffer(queue, device_buffer, CL_FALSE, 0, mem_size, host_buffer, 0, NULL, NULL);
time1 = get_time();
status = clFinish(queue);
printf("%.10f
", (float) (time1 - time0) / 1000000);
free(host_buffer);
clReleaseMemObject(device_buffer);
clReleaseCommandQueue(queue);
clReleaseContext(context);
return 0;
}
I change 3rd argument of clEnqueueWriteBuffer to try the blocking version. but both of them use about 0.0037 sec. (I tested on Tesla M2050)
Why non-blocking is use time as blocking. Is my code is incorrect?
Thank you
