You could try the OpenCL support in GEGL, it should use all of your cores.

ps: there are bugs still, but I'm solving them.

You can use OpenCL in the CPU, just install the AMD OpenCL SDK. GEGL looks for libOpenCL.so in /usr/lib.

You should use GEGL_ENABLE_OPENCL=yes

yes,

export GEGL_ENABLE_OPENCL=yes

also, when you build GEGL, put the option --enable-config. with that you can set:

export GEGL_DEBUG=opencl

so you can see if OpenCL is really being used or if there is some bug.

tks, I added to ~/.bashrc as I use pre-packaged rpm. I cannot see that opencl is required or used by gimp, as rpm -q gimp --requires
does not show opencl

is there a test to show usage other than dis-abling, timing an action, and enabling and timing same action?

no, besides building gegl by yourself, no. GIMP doesn't require OpenCL because the libOpenCL.so is loaded at runtime (like, dlopen) in the case it is present at the machine.

Then I guess the gimp package on my system does not utilize opencl. I opened gimp and loaded an image, instructed gimp to use GEGL and performed a GEGL operation on the photo. psaux does not reveal any opencl process or library being loaded.

Or is my thinking flawed?

You'd more likely need to use strace to see if the library was opened; I am not sure that anything would show up in ps in this case.

tks,

ran strace -o gimp

opened image enabled GEGL under video
enabled GEGL under colors
performed tools->gegl-operation->noise-reduction closed image/gimp

did grep -i opencl got no hits

so I do not have opencl compiled in gimp

I am using proprietary NVidia drivers, 310-19, and have support installed for opencl and can confirm that darktable uses it.

Does this appear correct?

It should work on GIMP 2.8.2. Do you have libOpenCL.so? Also, I'm not sure if it spawn a separated process.

If you continue to have problems, I suggest you to build GEGL.

that's strange, because it looks for the exact name "libOpenCL.so", don't you have it? It should be installed with the driver. But probably you have it considering that you can use darktable without problems.

I have also a nvidia GPU with GIMP-2.8 (from Ubuntu 12.10) and noise-reduction works fine with the GPU.

Victor,

When I look at the code, I don't understand how you are handling the Mac OS, when you don't typically see so libraries, by dylibs. Can you elaborate?

Also, when I try to add --enable-config to configure, I get configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-config

Hello Partha.

I'm sorry, I mean "--enable-debug" instead of "--enable-config".

That's a good observation. In Windows I look for "OpenCL.dll" and in Linux I look for "libOpenCL.so", but I'm not sure how I should handle it in MacOS. I was assuming it was the same as the Linux way. Do you know how I should do this?

Hi Victor,

I think on Windows for 32-bit you are OK with call OpenCL.dll, but I think you need to call OpenCL64.dll for 64-bit?

For Mac, according to http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/OpenCL_MacProgGuide/OpenCL_MacProgGuide.pdf

the sample code on page 17, says:

// This include pulls in everything you need to develop with OpenCL on OS X v10.7.
#include

To compile from the command line, I think you need to do have -framework OpenCL during compilation.

For instance,

gcc -framework OpenCL filein.c -o filein

Can we test this out?

Thanks, Partha
