I have the SDK 2.0 installed on a Windows 7 machine and running a program compiled in Visual Studio 2008. I've run into a problem where I run the application and get a popup dialog with a message 'This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the support team for more information.'

If I run the program using the Visual Studio debugger, the debugger does not get control even if I tell it to break on all exceptions. Is there some way to get the debugger to get control in this case?

I think I did figure out why the program is doing this for this particular problem. I set breakpoints on calls to clCreateBuffer.

I allocated 0x03000000, 0x01800000, 0x03000000, 0x01800000 bytes, in that order. At the second allocation of 0x01800000 bytes, I got the crash.

If I allocate smaller blocks of memory in the same sequence I don't get a crash.

I have a 4650 GPU with 512MB memory, so the second allocation of 0x01800000 bytes exceeds the capacity of the card.

Shouldn't the OpenCL runtime return CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY in this case rather than crashing the program?

dwootton,

          Could you please post your code to reproduce the crash problem?  Are you handling error codes properly?  Please also specify Driver version you are using.

it crash on linux too. output of code. when i use CPU context it work. when i use GPU only or GPU with CPU it crashed as below.

first buffer 0
second buffer 0
/home/ocl/openclmainline/runtime/src/device/gpu/gpudevice.cpp:754: guarantee(!"We don't have enough video memory!")
Aborted

with CPU context i can alocate four 1GB buffers without crash. although global memory of CPU is reported 3GB and i have 4GB of RAM. i think that alocating buffers should be limited only with amount of RAM (plus swap thus virtual memory) not with amount of device memory. and enqueuekernel should return CL_MEM_OBJECT_ALLOCATION_FAILURE or CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES if buffers needed for run that kernel does not fit in device memory.

buff[0] = clCreateBuffer(context, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY, 128*1024*1024, NULL, &err_code); cout << "first buffer " << err_code << endl; if(err_code != CL_SUCCESS)return 0; buff[1] = clCreateBuffer(context, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY, 128*1024*1024, NULL, &err_code); cout << "first buffer " << err_code << endl; if(err_code != CL_SUCCESS)return 0; buff[2] = clCreateBuffer(context, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY, 128*1024*1024, NULL, &err_code); cout << "third buffer " << err_code << endl; if(err_code != CL_SUCCESS)return 0;

The attached program will cause the error. This program runs in console mode, so I do see the message
C:\openclmainline\runtime\src\device\gpu\gpudevice.cpp:754: guarantee(!"We don't have enough video memory!") on the failing allocation.

My original program is a Windows GUI program so I don't see any message. In both the console and GUI modes I get the same abort popup and no opportunity to stop in the debugger.

In both cases, I am checking return codes, so the out of memory condition is the first error in the program.

The graphics card driver version is 8.682.2.0 12/14/2009 on 64 bit Windows 7 with the test program running in 32 bit mode.

#include <CL/cl.h> #include <assert.h> #include <stdio.h> #define ALLOC_SIZE 20000000 class TaskParallel { public: TaskParallel(void); ~TaskParallel(void); void runTest(); }; TaskParallel::TaskParallel(void) { } TaskParallel::~TaskParallel(void) { } void TaskParallel::runTest() { cl_int status; cl_platform_id platform; cl_device_id device; cl_context_properties properties[4]; cl_context context; cl_mem image; char *cp; status = clGetPlatformIDs(1, &platform, NULL); assert(status == CL_SUCCESS); status = clGetDeviceIDs(platform, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU, 1, &device, NULL); assert(status == CL_SUCCESS); properties[0] = CL_CONTEXT_PLATFORM; properties[1] = (cl_context_properties) platform; properties[2] = 0; properties[3] = 0; context = clCreateContext(properties, 1, &device, NULL, NULL, &status); assert (status == CL_SUCCESS); cp = new char[ALLOC_SIZE]; for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { printf("Allocating %d bytes\n", ALLOC_SIZE); image = clCreateBuffer(context, CL_MEM_READ_WRITE | CL_MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR, ALLOC_SIZE, cp, &status); assert (status == CL_SUCCESS); } } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { TaskParallel testCase; testCase.runTest(); printf("Done\n"); }

Dwootton,

             Thank you for reporting this.  This issue have been identified internally and fixed.
