I am trying to run the c++ code example from the OpenCL C++ Bindings Doc: Example.
Compilation of the c++ code works fine, but compilation of the kernel gives errors in connection with pipes:

My Setup:

  • NVIDIA GPU
  • Debian
  • used "sudo apt install opencl-headers ocl-icd-opencl-dev -y" to install ocl stuff

I would be happy if someone could help me. I have already researched extensions and opencl versions but found nothing that fixed my problem.

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    After further research, I came to the conclusion that NVIDIA OpenCL 3.0 does not support all OpenCL 3.0 features. Apparently it is only an OpenCL 1.2 with some new features. Information about this was hidden in the 465.89 Driver Release Notes at page 4.


  2. Pipes are an OpenCL 2 feature. Nvidia does not implement OpenCL 2, only OpenCL 1.2. You can’t run this code on an Nvidia GPU.

    Clarification re/from comments:

    Note how your clinfo output states:

    Device OpenCL C Version                         OpenCL C 1.2
    

    In other words, your kernel code must only use features supported by OpenCL 1.2 and any extensions offered by the runtime and selected in your code.

    So although the implementation complies with the OpenCL 3.0 specification – which, confusingly, requires fewer features than OpenCL 2.x – you can’t simply use all OpenCL 2.x features.
