<p>Hi Lang,</p>
<p>thank You very much. I've used Your code and the creating of the
object file works. I think the problem is after creating the
object file. When I link the object file with ld I get an
executable, which is working right.</p>
<p>After changing the clang and llvm libraries from the package
control version (.deb) to a own compiled version with debug
options, I get an assert() fault.<br>
In <br>
void RuntimeDyldELF::resolveX86_64Relocation() at the case
ELF::R_X86_64_PC32 <br>
this will throw an assert. You can find the code in the file
llvm/lib/ExecutionEngine/RuntimeDyld/RuntimeDyldELF.cpp . I don't
know exactly, what this function do but after first research, I
think it has something to do with the linking. Maybe You know more
about the function?</p>
<p>Your code also helps me to understand more, how the interpreter
library works. I have also some new ideas, how I could find the
concrete problem and solve it.</p>
Cheers,<br>
Simeon<br>

<div>I think the best thing would be to add an
ObjectTransformLayer between your CompileLayer and
LinkingLayer so that you can capture the object files as
they're generated. Then you can inspect the object files being
generated by the compiler to see what might be wrong with
them.</div>

<p>Dear LLVM-Developers and Vinod Grover,<br>
<br>
we are trying to extend the cling C++ interpreter (<a
class="m_-8219667011232476936moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/root-project/cling"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/root-<wbr>project/cling</a>)
with CUDA functionality for Nvidia GPUs.<br>
<br>
I already developed a prototype based on OrcJIT and am
seeking for feedback. I am currently a stuck with a
runtime issue, on which my interpreter prototype fails
to execute kernels with a CUDA runtime error.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
=== How to use the prototype<br>
<br>
This application interprets cuda runtime code. The
program needs the whole cuda-program (.cu-file) and its
pre-compiled device code (as fatbin) as an input:<br>
<br>
command: cuda-interpreter [source].cu
[kernels].fatbin<br>
<br>
I also implemented an alternative mode, which is
generating an object file. The object file can be linked
(ld) to an exectuable. This mode is just implemented to
check if the LLVM module generation works as expected.
Activate it by changing the define INTERPRET from 1 to 0
.<br>
<br>
=== Implementation<br>
<br>
The prototype is based on the clang example in<br>
<br>
<a class="m_-8219667011232476936moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/tree/master/examples/clang-interpreter"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/llvm-<wbr>mirror/clang/tree/master/<wbr>examples/clang-interpreter</a><br>
<br>
I also pushed the source code to github with the install
instructions and examples:<br>
<a
class="m_-8219667011232476936moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/SimeonEhrig/CUDA-Runtime-Interpreter"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/<wbr>SimeonEhrig/CUDA-Runtime-<wbr>Interpreter</a><br>
<br>
The device code generation can be performed with either
clang's CUDA frontend or NVCC to ptx.<br>
<br>
Here is the workflow in five stages:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>generating ptx device code (a kind of nvidia
assembler)</li>
<li>translate ptx to sass (machine code of ptx)</li>
<li>generate a fatbinray (a kind of wrapper for the
device code)</li>
<li>generate host code object file (use fatbinary as
input)</li>
<li>link to executable</li>
</ol>
<p>(The exact commands are stored in the commands.txt in
the github repo)<br>
<br>
The interpreter replaces the 4th and 5th step. It
interprets the host code with pre-compiled device code
as fatbinary. The fatbinary (Step 1 to 3) will be
generated with the clang compiler and the nvidia tools
ptxas and fatbinary.<br>
<br>
=== Test Cases and Issues<br>
<br>
You find the test sources on GitHub in the directory
"example_prog".<br>
<br>
Run the tests with cuda-interpeter and the two arguments
as above:<br>
<br>
[1] path to the source code in "example_prog"<br>
- note: even for host-only code, use the
file-ending .cu<br>
<br>
[2] path to the runtime .fatbin<br>
- note: needs the file ending .fatbin<br>
- a fatbin file is necessary, but if the program
doesn't need a kernel, the content of the file will
ignore</p>
Note: As a prototype, the input is just static and barely
checked yet.<br>
<br>
1. <a href="http://hello.cu" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">hello.cu</a>: simple c++ hello
world program with cmath library call sqrt() -> works
without problems<br>
<br>
2. <a href="http://pthread_test.cu" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">pthread_test.cu</a>: c++ program,
which starts a second thread -> works without problems<br>
<br>
3. <a href="http://fat_memory.cu" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">fat_memory.cu</a>: use cuda
library and allocate about 191 MB of VRAM. After the
allocation, the program waits for 3 seconds, so you can
check the memory usage with the nvidia-smi -> works
without problems<br>
<br>
4. <a href="http://runtime.cu" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">runtime.cu</a>: combine cuda
library with a simple cuda kernel -> Generating an
object file, which can be linked (see 5th call in commands
above -> ld ...) to a working executable.<br>
<br>
The last example has the following issues: Running the
executable works fine. Interpreting the code instead does
not work. The Cuda Runtime returns the error 8 (<span
class="m_-8219667011232476936enum-member-name-def">cudaErrorInvalidDeviceFunctio<wbr>n</span>)
, the kernel failed.<br>
<br>
Do you have any idea how to proceed?<br>
<br>
<br>

Simeon Ehrig </div>
