<div dir="ltr">Hi Jeroen,<div>Correct me if I am mistaken (there is a good chance of that :) ), but I think the issue here is that ptx32 and ptx23 appear to refer to completely different things. ptx32 is the 32-bit version of the PTX assembly, and ptx23 appears to refer to the version of the PTX assembly from a feature point of view (see <a href="http://llvm.org/devmtg/2011-11/Holewinski_PTXBackend.pdf">http://llvm.org/devmtg/2011-11/Holewinski_PTXBackend.pdf</a> slide 9/37).</div><div><br></div><div>I'm a bit perplexed by all of this given that it appears that clang used to be able to compile OpenCL to ptx23. For instance, I found some old slides by Justin Holewinski showing how one used to be able to compile to ptx23 circa 2011 (<a href="http://llvm.org/devmtg/2011-11/Holewinski_PTXBackend.pdf">http://llvm.org/devmtg/2011-11/Holewinski_PTXBackend.pdf</a>). Below is an example from slide 10/37:</div><div> <b><i>clang -ccc-host-triple ptx32 -Xclang -target-feature -Xclang +ptx23 -Xclang -target-feature -Xclang +sm20 -I$LIBCLC/include/generic -I$LIBCLC/include/ptx -include clc/clc.h -Dcl_clang_storage_class_specifiers -O3 SOURCE.cl -S</i></b><br></div><div><b><i><br></i></b></div><div>I tried generating the code this way, but it doesn't work for me. Is this syntax out of date? Are the slides referring to something else? If not, what would be the equivalent for llvm 3.4?</div><div><br></div><div>-Alex</div><div><b><i><br></i></b></div><div><b><i><br></i></b></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 24, 2015 at 3:39 PM, Jeroen Ketema <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:j.ketema@imperial.ac.uk" target="_blank">j.ketema@imperial.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><br></div><div>Hi Alex,</div><div><br></div><div>I think this question might be more appropriate for the cfe-dev list, but to answer your question: looking at lib/Target/NVPTX/NVPTX.td and its history, it seems that the llvm NVPTX backend at present (llvm trunk) only supports ptx32 and up, and never supported anything below ptx30.</div><div><br></div><div>Jeroen</div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div class="h5"><div>On 24 Aug 2015, at 23:24, Alex Breslow via Libclc-dev <<a href="mailto:libclc-dev@lists.llvm.org" target="_blank">libclc-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>> wrote:</div><br></div></div><div><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr">Hi there,<div><br></div><div>I'm using clang to compile OpenCL kernels to PTX so that they can be run on an architectural simulator.
