Searching through the net, I found two ways to install OpenCL
- by using a packaged deb made by nou at AMD dev central forum -> Ubuntu package with ATI Stream SDK
- and by installing it manually using the AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz
Because my previous experience in SL6 is worked, so i liked to doing so within my ubuntu.
Things that needed by my system for OpenCL(testing that it works by executing 'make all' in your $AMDAPPSDKROOT -> i put it on "/home/user/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/", this will built samples application that included in samples folder)
- read the guide AMD_APP_SDK_Installation_Notes.pdf (it just extract and put a conf in /etc dir)
- install libglu1-mesa-dev (in my case the package(header files) that missing is only this, so might be different on your system!), this needed when build a OpenCL samples
- also add a AMDAPPSDK in your $PATH in .bashrc file like this
test using HelloCL
test using GlobalMemoryBandwidth
and notice if running an OpenCL program using all processor thread(because i didn't have a GPU capable for OpenCL
And now for PyOpenCL(made by Andreas Klöckner at http://mathema.tician.de/software/pyopencl )
To install correctly please enable the internet connectivity its needed to install required python dependency module.
In my system is need to install libboost1.40-all-dev, python-numpy and python-libxslt. (Both are available from ubuntu repository). Using command from terminal -> sudo apt-get install libboost1.40-all-dev python-numpy python-libxslt
Installing PyOpenCl:
- download PyOpenCL from PyOpenCL
- Notice when execute configure.py : python configure.py --cl-inc-dir=$AMDAPPSDKROOT/include --cl-lib-dir=$AMDAPPSDKROOT/lib/x86_64 --cl-libname=OpenCL
- then -> python setup.py build
- finnally -> sudo python setup.py install
BTW I'm just noticed that python in ubuntu is faster than in Scientific Linux 6, and it same 64 bit, same laptop.
