Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications - API Debugger
The interface of the Microsoft Visual Studio* IDE provides standard debugging capabilities for the host side of OpenCL™ applications, while the API Debugger plug-in of the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications enables debugging OpenCL kernels. The stitch between simultaneous debugging of OpenCL kernel and host application might be complicated in different stages. API Debugging feature of the Intel SDK for OpenCL Applications for Microsoft Visual Studio covers the stitch.
The API Debugging feature enables monitoring and understanding OpenCL environment of applications throughout execution.
The feature supports the following:
- API Tracing - lists a trace of all OpenCL API calls that occurred during the execution, list of trace arguments, return values, and execution time.
- OpenCL Objects View - shows all OpenCL objects that exist in memory during the execution.
- Properties View - retrieves common information per each OpenCL object.
- Command-Queue View - tracks the execution status of the enqueued commands.
- Problems View - summarizing all error and warning messages.
- Image View - visually displays all 2D image objects as bitmaps.
- Data View - visually displays buffer data and 2D image pixel arrays on a grid.
- Save/Load session - enables capturing a state/snapshot of all views of the plug-in, saving it on disk, and also loading the stored sessions.
- Memory Tracing - enables storing OpenCL Images and Buffers content, and visually examining either by Bitmap or Grid view the contents of the underlying data associated with the memory object throughout the various API calls that affected it.
