You mean if I use CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR and host ptr is page aligned, I change 
the data pointed by host ptr from CPU side, I don't have to do any flush 
opertaion or I should still call clMapxx function?

Hi,

 

please check the latest code of beignet, there is no copy needed between CPU 
and GPU if the host_ptr provided by application is page aligned, and the page 
align limitation is expected to be removed some days later. You can also try 
CL_MEM_ALLOC_HOST_PTR to avoid the extra copy without align limitation.

 

Btw, this zero-copy is supported starting from linux kernel 3.16 and libdrm 
2.4.58.

Subject: [Beignet] CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR involve extra copy?

 

Hi:

Intel opencl optimization guide said using CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR can avoid extra 
copy between CPU and GPU, but I noticed that in beignet's implementation source 
it was not like that:

/* Copy the data if required */

  if (flags & CL_MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR || flags & CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR)

    cl_buffer_subdata(mem->bo, 0, sz, data);

 

Could someone give me an answer?
