** '''July 24''': Submitted patch for FindOpenCL.cmake file here: https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/549/ . Debugged the ARBN primitive patch files to remove the compile-time errors and typos! Moved on to VOL primitive, couldn't find relevant rendering command.
 +
* Week - 9
 +
** '''July 27''': Debugging METABALL primitive. Looking into plausible ways of passing extra parameters r_min and r_max from metaball_shot() to its rt.cl declaration.
 +
** '''July 28''': While compiling previously converted primitives like ELL and ARB8, I got compilation error - "failed to set OpenCL kernel arguments". On running the code, I found a bug in master branch itself. There was a mismatch between uchar2 and uchar3 in clt_frame() function in primitve_util.c and all it's related functions. I've updated the code, will include a patch for this. All primitives are rendering successfully now! Yayyyy!
 +
** '''July 29''': Submitted patch for the above bug resovled here: https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/551/ . Moving on to removing errors in PIPE primitive. Most of the compile time errors were related to Global-Private conversion, hence made all struct inside functions global as well. It is now compiling error-free but not rendering. Gotta deep dive more!
 +
** '''July 30''': Looking for possible options to print inside OpenCL kernel to see where it might be failing. Can't find any previously converted primitive with bu_log in it. Maybe, I'll import bu.h and give it a try!
 +
** '''July 31''': Worked out communication issues with Sean and came up with a measurable criteria going forward. Going to be chatting progress a lot more going forward in Zulip! Also, documented the details of issues I faced in Dev Logs for future reference. With this evaluation, the second month of the GSoC comes to an end. Onto the final phase now!
 +
* Week 10
 +
** '''August 3''': Took a break owing to some personal work!
 +
** '''August 4''': While checking CLINE primitive patch for debugging, I found it's shot function was missing. That being my first patch, I might have missed out on doing "svn add" of that cline_shot.cl file. Will have to redo again.
 +
** '''August 5''': Completed the cline primitive conversion, looking for documentation for making this in MGED window so that I can render and test if it is working as expected. Couldn't find any proper documentation for this!
 +
** '''August 6''': Trying to see best practice to import/define bn_distsq_line3_line3() in the OpenCL version of this from libbn repository. Found out that for making cline primitive in MGED, "in" command doesn't work. We have to use "make" command for that purpose. The full command would be "make cline.s cline".
 +
** '''August 7''': Defined the bn_distsq_line3_line3() in rt.cl and used it in cline_shot.cl . It is now compiling error-free. I've updated the patch with latest code. Tried using printf command, but the rendering gets stuck somehow because of it. Gotta deep dive more!
 +
* Week 11
 +
** '''August 10''': There seems to be some issue in memory allocation pieces of code. Since printf command was not working, I'd a tough time narrowing it down. I'm trying with the simplest of the primitive now - SUPERELL to find out more about why previously present primitives are rendering and newly converted one aren't!
 +
** '''August 11''': Giving printing in OpenCL another try for debugging purpose. Converted bu_log() in rt.cl to see if it works. No progress! Including stdio.h header in _shot.cl gives "stddef.h file not found" error.
 +
** '''August 12''': The Superell patch is not rendering, though it was one of the simplest one. I think I am missing out on something trivial but can't figure out what. I want to re-do SUPERELL primitive from scratch.
 +
** '''August 13''': Turns out, I missed one variable while passing it from .c file to .cl shot file - variable 'n'. It is now rendering, although not exactly the same. Gotta ask Sean on this!
 +
** '''August 14''': Documented here in the wiki logs all MGED commands to render various primitives for future purpose.
 +
* Week 12
 +
** '''August 17''': I'm unable to make superell primitive with "in" command. It throws error: rt_db_external5_to_internal5(superell.s):  unable to import non-BRL-CAD object, major=255 minor=35 . Deep diving into this for possible bug. It is accepting none of the abc/ne parameter values. Even with e=n=1 where it should form Sphere or ellipsoid with n=2.
 +
** '''August 18''': That seemed to be a random error. I cloned a fresh repository and started again. The C rendering of the Superell worked with normal parameters. Don't know why it didn't work in previous repository. No luck with _shot.cl file though!
 +
** '''August 19''': Gave HYP primitive a try as well. This is also one of the simpler primitive to work on. And it worked. Both the C and OpenCl renderings of the primitive match and with better performance in OpenCl. Hurrray!
 +
** '''August 20''': Submitted the patch for HYP primitive here: https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/553/ . Moving back, it seems I'm facing issues with memory allocation in OpenCL versions of other primitives I worked on which is why they don't render as expected. Looking into possible solutions!
 +
** '''August 21''': Did a quick pixdiff to ensure both the renderings are similar or not. Couldn't understand the usage of pixdiff in BRL-CAD MGED terminal, so tried via OpenCV package in python.
 +
* Week 13
 +
** '''August 24''': It is officially the last week of GSoC. Gotta devote my time in documentation and logging details for future references. Also, turns out, we can hit pixdiff command in the way discussed in Issue 4 below.
 +
** '''August 25''': Started the documentation process. Decided to use BRL-CAD wiki instead of Google Doc or GitHub page for this purpose. Took screenshots of rendering logs for performance measure and the images of primitives rendered.
 +
**'''August 26''': Ensured all the patches submitted work smoothly with the latest version of the BRL-CAD repository!
 +
**'''August 27''': Working on the final report, using performance and testing.
 +
**'''August 28''': Completed the report, submitted to Sean for reviewing!
 +
**'''September 1''': Nirt command probably needs a more detailed looking into. It should ideally have -z flag as well. Will look into it later. And so, the GSoC season ends.. Until next time!
 +
 +
 +
 +
== Major Issues Faced ==
 +
=== Issue 1 ===
 +
** '''Issue''':  -Z flag not working. Initially, I couldn't find proper documentation around -z flag and it's usage. I only found with command '''man rt''' that -z is used to compile with OpenCL function of that primitive. However, it always said printed "Raytrace Aborted" in the logs.
 +
** '''Solution''': I found that while doing the cmake compiling, it couldn't find the OpenCL library and it's version correctly. It detected library path as "/usr/" instead of the usual "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenCL.so" . So, I changed the cmake file where it detected OpenCL and submitted patch for FindOpenCL.cmake file here: https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/549/ . The commands are now as follows:
 +
 +
While doing the cmake, add the DBRLCAD_ENABLE_OPENCL flag
 +
<pre>
 +
cd brlcad-svn-trunk
 +
mkdir build
 +
cd build
 +
cmake .. -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=NO -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_OPENCL=ON
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
While compiling a primitive in mged window, use the following command:
 +
<pre> rt -z 1 -o primitive_cl.png </pre>
 +
If you pass 0 to the -z flag, it'll compile the C version of the primitive. So to say, passing 1 to -z flag defines the USE_OPENCL flag inside primitive function to 1. -o flag outputs the primitive rendering to an external file in the build folder.
 +
 +
=== Issue 2 ===
 +
** '''Issue''':  Primitives already present in the master branch of the repository were not rendering in their OpenCL version. It displayed error: "failed to set OpenCL kernel arguments".
 +
** '''Solution''': I found that the error was due to a mismatch between uchar2 and uchar3 data type of variable "o" in clt_frame() functions in primitive_util.c file. I made the variable uniform to uchar3 in all the places where this function was being used and they're now rendering as usual. The patch was submitted at the link here: https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/551/ .
 +
 +
=== Issue 3 ===
 +
** '''Issue''':  The MGED commands to render the primitives don't have a proper documentation. I faced issues while making them so that they can render properly because the values for some of the variables are highly constrained according to their logic implemented. While trying to render, it got "segmentation fault" error code
 +
** '''Solution''': I've started documenting the commands for most primitives here in the logs for future reference. I'll keep on adding more as and when I find them.
 +
 +
=== Issue 4 ===
 +
** '''Issue''':  Once the OpenCL version renders successfully, I didn't know the exact technical methods to follow to ensure both the C and OpenCL version are identical.
 +
** '''Solution''':
 +
Method 1: Both the renderings of C and OpenCL version should look alike. Check this via rotating in different angles in MGED window. 
 +
Method 2: Using pixdiff method.
 +
<pre>
 +
cd brlcad-svn-trunk
 +
cd build
 +
bin/pixdiff file1.pix file2.pix > out.pix
 +
bin/pix-png -o out.png out.pix > out.png
 +
</pre>
 +
The details are in these link: https://brlcad.org/~nouhrasofat/man1/en/pixdiff.php and https://brlcad.org/~nouhrasofat/man1/en/pix-png.php . The images can be stored in pix format via the -o flag in the MGED window itself!
 +
Method 3: The CPU performance in the logs registered while rendering a primitive should improve in OpenCL version compared to C version.

Major Issues Faced[edit]

Issue 1[edit]

    • Issue: -Z flag not working. Initially, I couldn't find proper documentation around -z flag and it's usage. I only found with command man rt that -z is used to compile with OpenCL function of that primitive. However, it always said printed "Raytrace Aborted" in the logs.
    • Solution: I found that while doing the cmake compiling, it couldn't find the OpenCL library and it's version correctly. It detected library path as "/usr/" instead of the usual "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenCL.so" . So, I changed the cmake file where it detected OpenCL and submitted patch for FindOpenCL.cmake file here: https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/549/ . The commands are now as follows:

While doing the cmake, add the DBRLCAD_ENABLE_OPENCL flag 

cd brlcad-svn-trunk
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=NO -DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_OPENCL=ON

While compiling a primitive in mged window, use the following command: 

 rt -z 1 -o primitive_cl.png

If you pass 0 to the -z flag, it'll compile the C version of the primitive. So to say, passing 1 to -z flag defines the USE_OPENCL flag inside primitive function to 1. -o flag outputs the primitive rendering to an external file in the build folder.

Issue 2[edit]

    • Issue: Primitives already present in the master branch of the repository were not rendering in their OpenCL version. It displayed error: "failed to set OpenCL kernel arguments".
    • Solution: I found that the error was due to a mismatch between uchar2 and uchar3 data type of variable "o" in clt_frame() functions in primitive_util.c file. I made the variable uniform to uchar3 in all the places where this function was being used and they're now rendering as usual. The patch was submitted at the link here: https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/patches/551/ .

Issue 3[edit]

    • Issue: The MGED commands to render the primitives don't have a proper documentation. I faced issues while making them so that they can render properly because the values for some of the variables are highly constrained according to their logic implemented. While trying to render, it got "segmentation fault" error code
    • Solution: I've started documenting the commands for most primitives here in the logs for future reference. I'll keep on adding more as and when I find them.

Issue 4[edit]

    • Issue: Once the OpenCL version renders successfully, I didn't know the exact technical methods to follow to ensure both the C and OpenCL version are identical.
    • Solution:

Method 1: Both the renderings of C and OpenCL version should look alike. Check this via rotating in different angles in MGED window. Method 2: Using pixdiff method. 

cd brlcad-svn-trunk
cd build
bin/pixdiff file1.pix file2.pix > out.pix
bin/pix-png -o out.png out.pix > out.png

The details are in these link: https://brlcad.org/~nouhrasofat/man1/en/pixdiff.php and https://brlcad.org/~nouhrasofat/man1/en/pix-png.php . The images can be stored in pix format via the -o flag in the MGED window itself! Method 3: The CPU performance in the logs registered while rendering a primitive should improve in OpenCL version compared to C version.
