Darknet on OpenCL on FreeBSD 13.1

Hi, recently I helped a bit for a GitHub user rajhlinux. I am not sure if you are familiar with this Operation System. I am only a bit. But the beauty of C and C++ is that it works on different OSes and works fast! Below cute daemon image is from Wikipedia, and you can click on it to learn more. This user, a fan of FreeBSD, was using version 13.1 and Continue ReadingDarknet on OpenCL on FreeBSD 13.1

Darknet on OpenCL on Windows 11 x64

Hi, there are many challenges on Windows 11 x64 with AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT. For the last few months, from time to time, I started to try to build on Windows 10 x64 first and later I updated to Windows 11 x64. There are the following open issues I faced: 1) Time spent on detection is a bit longer than on GNU/Linux or macOS. 2) Detections seem fine when I try Continue ReadingDarknet on OpenCL on Windows 11 x64

GPU-Computing macOS Big Sur vs iBuntu Lux Sur

Hello, Let’s test this beauty from the last post on… LuxMark ;-). The thing is that I wanted to compare OpenCL. I know that OpenCL in both systems is not working entirely right. I found on macOS that (multi-GPU case) clFinish(q) is slow down each time, on iBuntu -cl-fast-relaxed-math causes a black-scenes on Lux Ball… and on Darknet on OpenCL it is more things wrong, but maybe there are my bugs, so… Continue ReadingGPU-Computing macOS Big Sur vs iBuntu Lux Sur

Mac Moria Miner Project Failure

Hello, every failure is a lesson, so let me describe my experiment and the story behind it… I dream about the most robust possible GPU-computing macOS. Let’s start with hardware… design, the way it looks, is not a design, so let’s name it the look and feel ;-). I am sorry to Apple, please forgive me. This was only for tests and future, again try, Ph.D. studies. Do not look at it Continue ReadingMac Moria Miner Project Failure

MMM means Mac Moria Miner project

Hello, my dear readers. Today I would like to remind you of an excellent viewpoint of Steve Jobs, who I want to learn from, more from the story and public-faced information than from internal people skills… but anyway, here is the short interview I would like to influence you with first. The secret of life is that things around you are made by people no more intelligent than you, so if you Continue ReadingMMM means Mac Moria Miner project

DreamPC vs HaniaPC

Hi, today I would like to share some recent hardware updates. I put in a HaniaPC the new ASUS AMD Radeon RT 6900 XT and I was wonder how it is performing compared to a Green PC workstation I upgraded in 2019 with 2 x NVidia Titan RTX 24GB VRAM each with NVLink. So are you interested in the test results? I used 3DMark for Microsoft Windows and Geekbench that is multiplatform Continue ReadingDreamPC vs HaniaPC

The CES 2021 Must to Watch

The most famous CEO on the planet! The best industry-winning products are “hearts.” The Silicon Game Changer! In short, the most to watch the public announcement at the prestigious CES 2021 conference. I personally cannot wait! Enjoy! p ;).

The Multi-GPU-SET Idea

Hello, I am a Ph.D. student in Poland at the Silesian University of Technology. And I wanted to start a general discussion on the classifier on the video stream improvement idea. I called it the “Multi-GPU & Multi-SET” or, in short, the “Multi-GPU-SET” idea. People use Multi-GPU and the “Syncing” for Convolutional Neural Networks. But nobody, in my opinion, tried multi-GPU to classify. So what is it about? Well, it is about Continue ReadingThe Multi-GPU-SET Idea

GPU OpenCL Fine-Tuning Problem Solution

Hello, after about half-year, I at last found the solution to the biggest optimization issue I had so far in the Darknet on OpenCL solution. It was tough to solve, and I even wrote at the AMD Community Post. Today very early morning, I posted on that post solution shown below. CPU CODE THAT INVOKES THE GPU CODE AND USES BOTH GLOBAL AND LOCAL THREAD SPACES! GPU CODE THAT IS ACCELERATED WITHOUT Continue ReadingGPU OpenCL Fine-Tuning Problem Solution
