opencl - Is there a good way to choose the right platform on the fly? -


because computer using has amd, nvidea, , intel platforms. how can know right platform use on users computer? have loop tries create platform, device, context, , queue every platform. if fails @ point tries next platform.

    readkernel();      numplatforms = getnumplatforms(); test     platforms = getplatforms(); test     for(int = 0; < numplatforms; i++)     {         numdevices = getnumdevices(platforms[i]); test_and_continue         devices = getdevices(platforms[i], numdevices); test_and_continue         context = createcontext(platforms[i], devices); test_and_continue         queue = getcommandqueue(context, devices[0]); test_and_continue          // setup. can post info here ->  getdeviceinfo(devices[0]);         break;      }     program = createprogram(context, source); test     buildprogram(program); test     kernel = buildkernel(program, appname); test

is way or there better way?

as usual kind of question, answer is: depends on need. or in other words, need define "the right platform".

here cases can think of (i'm sure can find others):

  • you developed kernel using features specific version of ocl. using clgetplatforminfo, query each platform present find 1 has proper ocl version.

  • you optimized kernel specific type of device (cpu, gpu). filter devices interested in using appropriate flag (cl_device_type_typename) clgetdeviceids.

  • you want parallelized as possible computation, have move lot of data device. in case might have found out running kernel on igpu gives best performance. function clgetdeviceinfo , flag cl_device_host_unified_memory can determine if have such device available.

  • with clgetdeviceinfo function can query specific vendor extension want use (flag: cl_device_extensions). note clgetplatforminfo provides list of extension supported platform.

  • you have several gpus available , want 1 "best performance". still clgetdeviceinfo can query specifications of device. based on these specs can make choice. instance can found out if device has cache (cl_device_global_mem_cache_type) , if yes how (cl_device_global_mem_cacheline_size). can query clock frequency (cl_device_max_clock_frequency) or how many compute units available on device (cl_device_max_compute_units).

html - How to style widget with post count different than without post count -

i have border below li elements in wordpress widget types appropriate. element inside set block gives them nice easy click full width. the problem, when choose option "show post count" when adding widget such categories or archives displays post count plain text after tag , because tag block pushes post number text line below. whether choose show post count or not show post count still gives exact same element identifyer example "widget_categories". how style post count not on next line still keep links non post count list items full width? here's example on sidebar www.bbmthemes.com/themes/modular/blog-standard/ in order solve problem need remove display:block; for ul.widgets ul a , add in it's place line-height: 33px; what going achieve have same visual effect. what going lose doing links going work on text , not on "box". the other way out of find post count coming , make changes this. example change text count i
