NVIDIA GPU ViennaCL fatal error (Windows 10)

[CodeSmith92]

Hi,

I've been trying (and failing) to download gpuR from Rstudio. I have the most recent versions of R and R-tools. And I set the environmental variables as such:

Sys.setenv(OPENCL_LIB64 = "C:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v10.0/lib/x64") Sys.setenv(OPENCL_INC = "C:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v10.0/include") Sys.setenv(CUDA_HOME="C:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v10.0") Sys.setenv(PATH=paste(Sys.getenv("PATH"), "C:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v10.0/bin", sep = ":"))

However, I keep getting the following error message at the very end of the download:

Error: package or namespace load failed for 'gpuR': .onAttach failed in attachNamespace() for 'gpuR', details: call: initContexts() error: ViennaCL: FATAL ERROR: ViennaCL encountered an unknown OpenCL error. Most likely your OpenCL SDK or driver is not installed properly. In some cases, this error is due to an invalid global work size or several kernel compilation errors. If you think that this is a bug in ViennaCL, please report it at [email protected] and supply at least the following information:

• Operating System

• ViennaCL version Many thanks in advance! Error: loading failed Execution halted *** arch - x64 Error: package or namespace load failed for 'gpuR': .onAttach failed in attachNamespace() for 'gpuR', details: call: initContexts() error: ViennaCL: FATAL ERROR: ViennaCL encountered an unknown OpenCL error. Most likely your OpenCL SDK or driver is not installed properly. In some cases, this error is due to an invalid global work size or several kernel compilation errors.

• removing 'H:/My Documents/R/win-library/3.5/gpuR' In R CMD INSTALL Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘gpuR’ had non-zero exit status

---

Do you have any idea what's going wrong here? From what I've checked, the SDK was properly downloaded, and the NVIDIA drivers are up to date. Is the CUDA_HOME variable maybe set improperly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Is this the CRAN release or the develop version from this repository?

[CodeSmith92]

It's the CRAN release using install.packages('gpuR')

[cdeterman]

Please try installing the develop version with the following

devtools::install_github('cdeterman', ref = 'develop')

I have made some updates in this branch that may address the issue. I want to confirm if it is still a problem here. Thanks.

I got the same error. Here's the end of the configuration output (please let me know if you need to see the whole output):

@SmittyD-92 what is your Windows 10 version? I wonder if this is related to the issue #144.

[znmeb]

I got the same error on Arch Linux, so it's probably not Windows-related. It went away when I installed all the NVidia and OpenCL packages on Arch. Here's the list; it's probably similar for other distros:

  clinfo \
  clpeak-git \
  compute-runtime-bin \
  cuda \
  cudnn \
  nvidia \
  nvidia-settings \
  opencl-headers \
  opencl-nvidia \
  pocl \

Notes:

1. This is an HP Omen dual-booted Windows 10 Pro and Arch Linux. The GPU is an NVidia 1050Ti.
2. compute-runtime-bin is the Intel OpenCL driver for the Intel GPU. So, including pocl I have three OpenCL devices in Arch.

@SmittyD-92 did any of the information by @znmeb help? Is something perhaps missing in your installation?

Similar issue here: I was able to install gpuR on one windows machine (windows 7) and one mac, but could not install on a second windows machine (windows 10, v1903, OS build 18362.657; NVIDIA Quadro P2000) from either CRAN or GitHub (devel version; not to nitpick, but the devtools code above is missing the repo). Messages:

Per reading through Issue #49, I have Rtools 35 installed. I've installed the GitHub version of RViennaCL. I've re-installed both curl and httr.

As a note, I originally had R 3.6.1, and the package install wouldn't even get past the C++/Fortran message. After I upgraded to R 3.6.2, I was able to get past that issue to this ViennaCL one.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Additionally I was unable to install the git version of gpuR. Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet, : cannot open URL 'https://api.github.com/repos/cdeterman/gpuR/tarball/develop'
