Voxl2 Docker (Ubuntu 22) with OpenCL/Adreno

[Alex Kushleyev]

OK, a little more clean-up, it seems this is the minimal set of libraries /devices needed:

docker run -it --rm --privileged \
	-v /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so:/usr/lib/libOpenCL.so \
	-v /usr/lib/libCB.so:/usr/lib/libCB.so \
	-v /usr/lib/libgsl.so:/usr/lib/libgsl.so \
	-v /usr/lib/liblog.so.0:/usr/lib/liblog.so.0 \
	-v /usr/lib/libcutils.so.0:/usr/lib/libcutils.so.0 \
	-v /usr/lib/libsync.so.0.0.0:/usr/lib/libsync.so.0.0.0 \
	-v /usr/lib/libion.so.0.0.0:/usr/lib/libion.so.0.0.0 \
	-v /usr/lib/libllvm-qcom.so:/usr/lib/libllvm-qcom.so \
	-v /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0.5600.4:/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0.5600.4 \
	-v `pwd`:/opt/code -w /opt/code \
	arm64v8/ubuntu:22.04 bash

(--privileged mode maps all the needed devices to the docker container)

Then install some more packages (not sure if this can be reduced, not clear exactly what is missing):

apt-get update
apt install --no-install-recommends -y pocl-opencl-icd

Maybe we can figure out what lib is still missing so that pocl-opencl-icd does not have to be installed.. At least the issue was the a missing library, not a mapped device

For testing, I used a device query script from here:

root@733a6d4d5fdb:/opt/code# ./simple_query 
1. Device: QUALCOMM Adreno(TM)
 1.1 Hardware version: OpenCL 2.0 Adreno(TM) 650
 1.2 Software version: OpenCL 2.0 QUALCOMM build: commit # changeid # Date: 11/10/21 Wed Local Branch:  Remote Branch:  Compiler E031.37.12.01
 1.3 OpenCL C version: OpenCL C 2.0 Adreno(TM) 650
 1.4 Parallel compute units: 3

I also verified that a simple matrix multiplication app also worked (not provided here)

@eric , can you please let me know if this works for you?

@Alex-Kushleyev

OMG IT WORKS!!

I was able to extract all these libraries from the host and directly install them inside the docker, and now the pcol-opencl-icd installation isn't needed.

This is really important for us, since it allows us to build external dependencies that rely on OpenCL in our pipeline directly without bind mounts (outside the host environment).

Really, really appreciate all your help!

hi @eric ,

Nice! very clean.

Did you use dpkg-repack to create debs of installed packages, such as:

apt-get install dpkg-repack
dpkg-repack qti-adreno

Cool trick!

I will test this out and add to our docs.

Alex

[eric]

@Alex-Kushleyev Yes, dpkg -S <file path> to figure out which debs installed which libraries (ie, dpkg -S /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so), apt-cache show to see the source (ubuntu ppa vs modalai), then dpkg-repack to repack the modalai debs.

Thanks again!

[Alex Kushleyev]

@eric , thanks again for your input on this, i have posted a complete tutorial how to enable OpenCL in Docker on VOXL2 : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-2-opencl-in-docker/

Alex

[eric]

@Alex-Kushleyev Awesome! Thanks again for all your help with this!

@Alex-Kushleyev @eric I've implemented your solution and get the same result.

I did get a bit confused as running clinfo only returned a single device of type CPU and without the name "Adreno".

However I added to your test script a query on the device_type and it returned GPU so I guess its only finding the GPU. I would have expected it to return a few more devices as the [Qualcomm OpenCL guide] (https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/80-NB295-11_REV_C_Qualcomm_Snapdragon_Mobile_Platform_Opencl_General_Programming_and_Optimization.pdf) suggests that the dsp and CPU could have been returned as well, so I'm not sure what is happening there. I didn't have to link devices only shared the volumes to the relevant libraries. I would have expected the CPU to be returned a a matter of course as that is what happens with the intel implementation.

My additional lines to the script (given for info is):

  cl_device_type device_type;
  clGetDeviceInfo(devices[j], CL_DEVICE_TYPE, sizeof(cl_device_type), &device_type, NULL);
  printf("Device type: ");
  if (device_type & CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU)
      printf("CPU ");
  if (device_type & CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU)
      printf("GPU ");
  if (device_type & CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ACCELERATOR)
      printf("ACCELERATOR ");
  if (device_type & CL_DEVICE_TYPE_DEFAULT)
      printf("DEFAULT ");
  printf("\n");

Which returns

OpenCL platform count: 1
OpenCL device count: 1
1. Device: QUALCOMM Adreno(TM)
 1.1 Hardware version: OpenCL 2.0 Adreno(TM) 650
Device type: GPU 
 1.2 Software version: OpenCL 2.0 QUALCOMM build: commit # changeid # Date: 11/10/21 Wed Local Branch:  Remote Branch:  Compiler E031.37.12.01
 1.3 OpenCL C version: OpenCL C 2.0 Adreno(TM) 650
 1.4 Parallel compute units: 3

[Alex Kushleyev]

@Peter-Milani , it looks like Qualcomm CPU device is not supported by OpenCL library from Qualcomm.

clinfo may be confused, but installing and running clinfo natively on voxl2 does not return any platforms - the opencl libraries that may get installed by apt are most likely not compatible with the VOXL2 GPU.

[Alex Kushleyev]

@Peter-Milani , I see. this looks like a generic implementation of OpenCL for ARM from 3rd party (not Qualcomm), and i think it also overwrites the proprietary opencl libraries, disabling the GPU opencl support. However, you could make two separate docker images, one for each use case (cpu and gpu)
