调研方向

Start by reading how runTests.py prefixes MPI tests, then inspect the CI setup for where a CPU-only OpenCL test stage belongs. Build test/unit/math/opencl with STAN_OPENCL=true and run its test binaries through Oclgrind with race logging. Done means the stage fails on non-empty logs and can later be made required once the reported races are fixed.

描述

code cleanup continuous integration dependencies gpu

Description

Motivation. CI runs the OpenCL tests on one GPU. A kernel bug that this device happens to tolerate stays invisible. Example: https://github.com/stan-dev/math/issues/3429, where the cholesky_decompose kernel returns a wrong factor on an AMD GPU because its barriers fence local memory only.

Oclgrind is an OpenCL device simulator. It needs no GPU and checks what real devices do not:

  • data races between work items, including a barrier with the wrong fence flag (--data-races),
  • reads and writes outside a buffer (always on),
  • use of uninitialized values (--uninitialized).

It runs our test binaries unchanged:

oclgrind --data-races --log races.log ./test/unit/math/opencl/cholesky_decompose_test

On develop this reports read-write races in cholesky_decompose, already for the 3×3 case, and nothing once the barriers are fixed. A first local pass also reports races in tridiagonalization_householder.

Suggested steps.

  1. Add oclgrind to the CI image.
  2. Add a CPU-only stage that builds test/unit/math/opencl with STAN_OPENCL=true and runs each test binary through oclgrind --data-races --log <file>. runTests.py already prefixes MPI tests with mpirun; the same mechanism can prefix oclgrind.
  3. Fail the stage when a log is not empty.
  4. Start it as non-blocking and make it required once the existing reports are fixed.
