Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
|
||||
=================================================
|
||||
|
||||
- Extended the ``libomptarget`` API functions to include source location
|
||||
information and OpenMP target mapper support. This allows ``libomptarget`` to
|
||||
know the source location of the OpenMP region it is executing, as well as the
|
||||
name and declarations of all the variables used inside the region. Each
|
||||
function generated now uses its ``mapper`` variant. The old API calls now call
|
||||
into the new API functions with ``nullptr`` arguments for backwards
|
||||
compatibility with old binaries. Source location information for
|
||||
``libomptarget`` is now generated by Clang at any level of debugging
|
||||
information.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added improved error messages for ``libomptarget`` and ``CUDA`` plugins. Error
|
||||
messages are now presented without requiring a debug build of
|
||||
``libomptarget``. The newly added source location information can also be used
|
||||
to identify which OpenMP target region the failure occurred in. More
|
||||
information can be found :ref:`here <libopenmptarget_errors>`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added additional environment variables to control output from the
|
||||
``libomptarget`` runtime library. ``LIBOMPTARGET_PROFILE`` to
|
||||
generate time profile output similar to Clang's ``-ftime-trace`` option.
|
||||
``LIBOMPTARGET_MEMORY_MANAGER_THRESHOLD`` sets the threshold size for which
|
||||
the ``libomptarget`` memory manager will handle the allocation.
|
||||
``LIBOMPTARGET_INFO`` allows the user to request certain information from the
|
||||
``libomptarget`` runtime using a 32-bit field. A full description of each
|
||||
environment variable is described :ref:`here <libopenmptarget_environment_vars>`.

Errors:
|

^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
``libomptarget`` provides error messages when the program fails inside the
|
||||
OpenMP target region. Common causes of failure could be an invalid pointer
|
||||
access, running out of device memory, or trying to offload when the device is
|
||||
busy. If the application was built with debugging symbols the error messages
|
||||
will additionally provide the source location of the OpenMP target region.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, consider the following code that implements a simple parallel
|
||||
reduction on the GPU. This code has a bug that causes it to fail in the
|
||||
offloading region.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c++
|
||||
|
||||
#include <cstdio>
|
||||
|
||||
double sum(double *A, std::size_t N) {
|
||||
double sum = 0.0;
|
||||
#pragma omp target teams distribute parallel for reduction(+:sum)
|
||||
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
|
||||
sum += A[i];
|
||||
|
||||
return sum;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
int main() {
|
||||
const int N = 1024;
|
||||
double A[N];
|
||||
sum(A, N);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
If this code is compiled and run, there will be an error message indicating what is
|
||||
going wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 -O3 -gline-tables-only sum.cpp -o sum
|
||||
$ ./sum

||||
|
||||

CUDA error: Error when copying data from device to host.
|
||||
CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered
|
||||
Libomptarget error: Copying data from device failed.
|
||||
Libomptarget error: Call to targetDataEnd failed, abort target.
|
||||
Libomptarget error: Failed to process data after launching the kernel.
|
||||
Libomptarget error: Run with LIBOMPTARGET_INFO=4 to dump host-target pointer mappings.
|
||||
sum.cpp:5:1: Libomptarget error 1: failure of target construct while offloading is mandatory
|
||||
|
||||
This shows that there is an illegal memory access occuring inside the OpenMP
|
||||
target region once execution has moved to the CUDA device, suggesting a
|
||||
segmentation fault. This then causes a chain reaction of failures in
|
||||
``libomptarget``. Another message suggests using the ``LIBOMPTARGET_INFO``
|
||||
environment variable as described in :ref:`libopenmptarget_environment_vars`. If
|
||||
we do this it will print the sate of the host-target pointer mappings at the
|
||||
time of failure.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 -O3 -gline-tables-only sum.cpp -o sum
|
||||
$ env LIBOMPTARGET_INFO=4 ./sum
|
||||
|

.. code-block:: text

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This tells us that the only data mapped between the host and the device is the
|
||||
``sum`` variable that will be copied back from the device once the reduction has
|
||||
ended. There is no entry mapping the host array ``A`` to the device. In this
|
||||
situation, the compiler cannot determine the size of the array at compile time
|
||||
so it will simply assume that the pointer is mapped on the device already by
|
||||
default. The solution is to add an explicit map clause in the target region.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c++
|
||||
|
||||
double sum(double *A, std::size_t N) {
|
||||
double sum = 0.0;
|
||||
#pragma omp target teams distribute parallel for reduction(+:sum) map(to:A[0 : N])
|
||||
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
|
||||
sum += A[i];
|
||||
|
||||
return sum;
