 I am using the opencl on CPU, and yesterday I could run my cl code on CPU, and today I found I could not, the err msg is "Internal Error:  as failed". What does this mean?

 The only difference I could figure out is I did an update for the CAL software today, Does this matter?

my sdk version is 2.5,  the platform is A8-3850 and I am using the integrated GPU. The graphic driver version information:

The current software information is :

Driver Packaging Version 8.881-110728a-124445C-ATI 
Catalyst Version 11.8 
Provider ATI Technologies Inc. 
2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1178 
Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0855 
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.11005 
AMD VISION Engine Control Center Version 2011.0728.1756.30366 
 

The original information (yesterday):

driver version: 8.871-110627a-121835E-ATI 
Catalyst version 11.7 
2D driver 8.01.01.1171

It looks like you have installed OpenCL runtime packages again from driver. Can you run CLInfo and paste log here.

Not sure how this is effected. have you stopped the installation in b/w?

Removing runtime package and reinstalling could work.

[zhuzxy]

I  did remove the ' sdk runtime' from the install manager and install it again. And I still got the error msg when running the sample app' bitonicsort' for Opencl on CPU. The err msg is the same, build program failed.

Can anyone help on the solution?

Originally posted by: zhuzxy I  did remove the ' sdk runtime' from the install manager and install it again. And I still got the error msg when running the sample app' bitonicsort' for Opencl on CPU. The err msg is the same, build program failed.

Please install Run time package from SDK package and see whether it works or not.

Presently you have installed Runtime package from Driver.

[zhuzxy]

What does you mean by 'installed runtime package from driver'? I install it from the install package and it first extract the files to directorys like c:\ati or c:\amd.

And I have tried to remove the ATI compoents and re-install it with my old package. The error still happens with the same err msg.

my steps as following:

    run the amd catalyst install manager and remove the components :

     amd app sdk developer/amd app sdk runtime/amd app profiler 2.3/and app kernelanalyzer1.9/amd app sdksamples.

   rename the c:\ati and c:\amd directorys to other names.

run the amd's driver instal file  11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd_cc_ocl.exe

run the sdk install file  adm-app-sdk-v2.5-rc2-windows-64.

then test the amd sdk sample project to make the opencl run on cpu. And got the error msg"Internal Error:  as failed".

Can anyone tell me how to reinstall the whole thing completely? I am guessing when I use the AMD catalyst install manager to remove old components( for opencl related things), it keeped some old files in the system, and so I can not do a complete clean new installation.

[twentz]

This may be EXACTLY the problem I'm having. I can't run OpenCL code on my CPU (A8-3850).

If it worked with an older version, it might be just that:  the new version might be broken

[grabner]

I just had the same problem and found a solution, so if you are still interested, here it is. For some reason, the "PATH" environment variable was not updated properly during installation of the AMD APP SDK. You can verify this by opening a command prompt and typing the command "amdocl_as.exe --version". If the PATH is correct, the output of this command will tell you that AMD packaged the GNU assembler with their software ;-), otherwise you will just get an error message that the command could not be found. On my system, "amdocl_as.exe" is installed in the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86_64", adding this directory to the PATH environment variable fixed the problem for me. BTW, the same problem occurs immediately after installation of the AMD APP SDK if you try to run OpenCL programs from a command prompt which was opened before installation since the environment of a running prompt is not automatically updated when modified by an external process (e.g., a software installer).

Kind regards,

Markus
