Hi Andreas,
I am becoming more and more sure, that the problem is based on wrong
timing information.
The kernel seems to run in correct order with the profiler not being
able to show that, because
the runtimes are too short. If I increase the runtime of the kernel
(e.g. by doubling the amount
of data to crunch on), the anomaly seems to vanish. I only ran into the
strange behaviour
again if the kernel runtime is below ~500 µs.
I'm nevertheless interested in the reason, this is happening.

The important bits that seem to the behaviour are:
import pyopencl as cl
import numpy as np
platform = cl.get_platforms()[0]
devs = platform.get_devices()
device1 = devs[0]
h_data =
np.arange(81*9000).reshape(90,90,90).astype(np.float32,order='F')
ctx = cl.Context([device1])
queue = cl.CommandQueue(ctx)
queue2 = cl.CommandQueue(ctx)
h_image_shape=h_data.shape
f = open('Kernel.cl', 'r')
fstr = "".join(f.readlines())
prg = cl.Program(ctx, fstr).build()
d_image = cl.Image(ctx, mf.READ_ONLY,
cl.ImageFormat(cl.channel_order.INTENSITY,cl.channel_type.FLOAT),h_image_shape)
wev1 = cl.enqueue_copy(queue, d_image, h_data, is_blocking=False,
origin=(0,0,0), region=h_image_shape)
prg.sum(queue2,(h_image_shape[0],),None,d_image,wait_for = [wev1])
The Kernel is doing some simple number crunching on the input image.
I'm measuring with nvvp, one result is attached, where you clearly
see,
that the kernel launches long before the copy has ended.
I allready tested with OoO disabled...same behaviour.
Implementation is 'Tesla K10.G2.8GB' on 'NVIDIA CUDA'.
For completeness: What driver version is this?
I am pretty certain that what you're seeing is non-compliant behavior
by
the Nv implementation. The behavior you're seeing is consistent with Nv
just ignoring the event_wait_list.
Beyond that, using two queues *and* ooo is redundant. ooo alone will
already allow concurrency.

I would probably recommend using a single queue until overlapping
becomes crucial.
