### Errors related to undefined reference to `__hcLaunchKernel__***__grid_launch_parm**
|
|
|
|
Some common code practices may lead to hipcc generating a error with the form :
|
|
undefined reference to `__hcLaunchKernel__ZN15vecAddNamespace6vecAddIidEEv16grid_launch_parmPT0_S3_S3_T_
|
|
|
|
To workaround, try:
|
|
- Avoid calling hcLaunchKernel from a function with the __host__ attribute
|
|
__host__ MyFunc(…) {
|
|
hipLaunchKernel(myKernel, …)
|
|
- Avoid use of static with kernel definition:
|
|
static __global__ MyKernel
|
|
- Avoid defining kernels in anonymous namespace
|
|
namespace {
|
|
__global__ MyKernel …
|
|
- Avoid calling member functions
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What if I see application hangs after a hipLaunchKernel call?
|
|
If hipLaunchKernel takes parameters that request explicitly memcpy, then it will cause application hang.
|
|
Reason is that the hipLaunchKernel macro locks the stream.
|
|
If kernel paramters are actually function calls which invoke other hip apis (i.e. memcpy) to the same stream, then deadlock occurs.
|
|
|
|
To workaround, try:
|
|
Move the function calls so they occur outside the hipLaunchKernel macro, store results in temps, then use the tems inside the kernel.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
// Example pseudo code causing system hang:
|
|
// "bottom[0]->gpu_data()" calls hipMemcpy() implicitly and using the same stream, cause deadlock condition.
|
|
hipLaunchKernel(HIP_KERNEL_NAME(LRNComputeDiff),dim3(CAFFE_GET_BLOCKS(n_threads)), dim3(CAFFE_HIP_NUM_THREADS), 0, 0, n_threads,
|
|
bottom[0]->gpu_data());
|
|
|
|
// Move "gpu_data()" ouside of hipLaunchKernel to avoid hang.
|
|
auto bot_gpu_data = bottom[0]->gpu_data();
|
|
hipLaunchKernel( LRNComputeDiff, dim3(CAFFE_GET_BLOCKS(n_threads)), dim3(CAFFE_HIP_NUM_THREADS), 0, 0, n_threads,
|
|
bot_gpu_data);
|
|
|
|
``` |
