printf bug

I have the following kernel

kernel void generate_bi(global uint *sizes, global uint *bi)

{

    uint globalID0 = get_global_id(0);

    uint globalID1 = get_global_id(1);

    printf((__constant char*) "(%d, %d) Thread works\n", globalID0, globalID1);

}

I don't get all printf's on my screen. For example, when I launch 16x16 in a single workgroup, I get the following

(0, 0) Thread works

(1, 0) Thread works

(2, 0) Thread works

(3, 0) Thread works

(4, 0) Thread works

(5, 0) Thread works

(6, 0) Thread works

(7, 0) Thread works

(8, 0) Thread works

(9, 0) Thread works

(10, 0) Thread works

(11, 0) Thread works

(12, 1) Thread works

(13, 1) Thread works

(1, 2) Thread works

(2, 2) Thread works

(3, 2) Thread works

(4, 2) Thread works

(5, 2) Thread works

Any ideas?

Hi,

I tested the same with latest Catalyst driver and APP SDK on Windows 7 -64bit and it worked fine for me.

Setup details

AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor 3.6GHz

Windows 7 6bit

Visual Studio 13

HD Radeon Pitcairn 7850

Driver 14.7 (14.30-140716a-173979E-ATI)

Please check with the lastest driver and APP SDK. If still find the problem, please let us know your system details.

FYI:

As per AMD APP Programming Guide:


The OpenCL Specification 1.1 and 1.2 support the optional AMD extension cl_amd_printf, which provides printf capabilities to OpenCL C programs. To use this extension, an application first must include





#pragma OPENCL EXTENSION cl_amd_printf : enable

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit with fglrx driver v13.35.5

I have the Radeon R9 200 Tahiti and Core i7-4770K @ 3.5GHz

gcc 4.8.2              

I use thextension cl_amd_printf already.

By the way I have other functions where I use printf and it works perfectly.
