use demoCL in Xcode to get hardware info (driver version openCL 1.1)

square.c


Types:
size_t
cl_device_id
cl_context
cl_command_queue
cl_program
cl_kernel

cl_mem
Types for now are just structs, see cl.h
------Above this line are implemented-------
Hardware methods:

methods are externs
  Declared but not defined unless given one

clGetDeviceIDs
  uses int err, takes 5 parameters
  http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.0/docs/man/xhtml/clGetDeviceIDs.html
  [x]
  
  cl_int clGetPlatformIDs(	cl_uint num_entries,
 	cl_platform_id *platforms,
 	cl_uint *num_platforms)
 	
clCreateContext
  uses a cl_context context, takes 6 parameters
  http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.0/docs/man/xhtml/clCreateContext.html
  openCL uses them for commands, memory, program, kernel objects, executing kernels
  [x]

Kernels and other:
clCreateCommandQueue
  uses a cl_command_queue commands, takes 4 parameters
  uses &device_id and &err
  http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.0/docs/man/xhtml/clCreateCommandQueue.html
  [x]
  
clCreateProgramWithSource
  uses cl_program program, takes 5 parameters
  uses context
  -IN PROGRESS-
  
clCreateProgramWithBinary
  [x], see clCreateProgramWithSource
  
clBuildProgram
  [x]

//clGetProgramBuildInfo

clCreateKernel
[x]

[6/17/14, 2:29:20 PM] Manchun Zheng: you'll need to malloc it every time you increase the size
[6/17/14, 2:30:12 PM] Manchun Zheng: for example T* buffer = (T*) malloc(sizeof(T));
[6/17/14, 2:30:33 PM] Manchun Zheng: then when you want to add a new T to buffer
[6/17/14, 2:30:49 PM] Manchun Zheng: btw, you also need to keep track of the size of buffer.
[6/17/14, 2:30:55 PM] Manchun Zheng: so initially, size = 1;
[6/17/14, 2:31:00 PM] Manchun Zheng: when you add a new T
[6/17/14, 2:31:17 PM] Jean Jacques Rousseau: ah, got it
[6/17/14, 2:31:44 PM] Manchun Zheng: you malloc by (size+ 1)*sizeof(T)
[6/17/14, 2:31:52 PM] Manchun Zheng: and then you copy the previous data
[6/17/14, 2:31:55 PM] Manchun Zheng: and add the new data

Kernel code changes
[6/17/14, 12:34:48 PM] Jean Jacques Rousseau: oh, right
[6/17/14, 12:35:48 PM] Jean Jacques Rousseau: although, I think I found it
[6/17/14, 12:36:04 PM] Jean Jacques Rousseau: this Comm is a struct, and one of the fields is storing the rank
[6/17/14, 12:36:12 PM] Jean Jacques Rousseau: when you make it, put in the rank yourself

flam naught shy stub
bash
Done: clGetDeviceIDs, clCreateKernel, clCreateBuffer

ToDo:

Problems:
Alterations to clGetDeviceIDs, slight problems with structs and pointers combined
Found a bug with size_t

Possible simplified implementation?
Instead of buffers just turn them into straight variables
May lose some power, can't use sizeof(type) * number

CIVL code to consider:
$proc is like a processid, but not an int
$proc_null($proc *p);

$self, refers to self

$spawn f(expr,...,exprn);
or
$proc p = $spawn f(i);

$gbarrier or $barrier (one is global)
