GPU vs CPU on command line benchmark

I am trying to follow directions in : http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/graphics/ImageMa ... allel.html
I am using the param : MAGICK_OCL_DEVICE and trying to see if that have any affect in terms of computation when i run it through command line. Does it help in running on GPU?

IM version :

Code: Select all

identify -version
Version: ImageMagick 6.9.9-26 Q16 x86_64 2018-01-17 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: © 1999-2017 ImageMagick Studio LLC
License: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/license.php
Features: Cipher DPC OpenCL OpenMP
Delegates (built-in): jbig jng jpeg ltdl lzma png tiff webp zlib
Here is the output. I dont see any differences:

Here is the nvidia-smi output where with , It doesnt show any process running on GPU but shows some minimal memory usage

The same param works if i use Imagemagick Apis . I can see processes using all GPUs through nvidia-smi.

Currently my device profile looks like this :

Code: Select all

vi $HOME/.cache/ImageMagick/ImagemagickOpenCLDeviceProfile.xml
<devices>
  <device name="CPU" score="7.689"/>
  <device platform="NVIDIA CUDA" vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" name="Tesla P100-PCIE-16GB" version="384.81" maxClockFrequency="1328" maxComputeUnits="56" score="0.218"/>
</devices>

Code: Select all

I am not sure which one of the above to use. Both show opposite scores.

GPU device info :

Am i missing something or understood something incorrectly?

Thanks

*I'm not an expert and someone may have better information*

The link you posted points to OpenMP, a CPU technology, whereas GPUs use either OpenCL or CUDA for high performance crunching operations.

** I would also guess due to the nature of image manipulations CPUs are the best option, if only to access more RAM.

i was guessing if the underlying lying library is built with OpenCL, no matter if we access through API or command line, i should be able to access GPU with correct env variable.
