how to use it and which flags we can prove for diferente results, because POCL looks like the tool we need for OpenCL pipeline optimizations. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt">> 1) What do yourefer by OpenCL RT?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I mean OpenCL Runtime – some library which implements OpenCL API for you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><br>
Basically, OpenCL consist of two parts: host code and device code.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Host code can be written at any language and actually it is a regular C/C++/Python/whatever application which uses OpenCL API.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">OpenCL API allows you to select platform, device, create context and buffers for data, create and build program for your device, create command queue and kernel, set kernel arguments
and then enqueue your kernel for execution on the selected device.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">You can always read the spec [1] to understand all these concepts. I would recommend section 3 “The OpenCL Architecture”: in particular, section 3.1 “Platform Model” and 3.2 “Execution
Model”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Also you can find some videos [2], slides [3] or articles [4] about this topic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">So, the next part is device code: it can be written on OpenCL C, C++ for OpenCL in clang, or any other language which can be represented in SPIR-V.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">As I said in previous emails, device code can be compiled online or offline and then it will be launched on selected device using API.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I encourage you to read the spec or search for videos/slides/articles on this topic to get familiar with main OpenCL concepts/architecture/ideas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">> 2) Could you give me some examples of an open-source OpenCL implementation and update optimization pipeline?<br>

As I can see, it has a Makefile which you could use. Anyway, on Linux you need to do something like:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:Consolas">clang -std=c99 add_numbers.c -lOpenCL -I/path/to/folder/with/CL/cl.h</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Usually, libOpenCL.so and CL/cl.h are provided by OpenCL SDKs from HW/SW vendor, for example: [1], [2], [3], [4] and others [5]<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">This is an interesting question. Basically, in OpenCL you can build your device program in a separate ways:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
Use clCreateProgramFromSource + clBuildProgram: this is so-called “online” compilation, when your device code is written in OpenCL C and its compilation is performed in runtime (all stages like front-end, middle-end optimizations and back-end, i.e. codegen
to native code)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
Use clCreateProgramWithBinary + clBuildProgram: this is so-called “offline” compilation, where you build your device code manually prior launching the app. Unfortunately, OpenCL spec doesn’t define binary format, i.e. it is implementation-defined. Usually each
vendor provides so-called “offline compiler” tool which allows you to get device binary for your OpenCL code – the binary is not portable across different devices/vendors<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
Use clCreateProgramWithIL + clBuildProgram: requires OpenCL 2.1 or cl_khr_il_program extension. Allows you to create program from SPIR-V. Basically, this is kind of combination of online and offline models: one the one side, you need to launch offline compiler
to parse source code and get SPIR-V, on the other side, SPIR-V is an intermediate representation, i.e. partially-compiled program – that will save some runtime resources. Plus, SPIR-V is a standard and it is portable between devices/vendors.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<ul type="disc">
