The Future we Want is nowhere to be found in the already agreed Rio+20 outcome text, which world leaders are now rubber stamping and Greenwashing. The spin cycle has begun. At the same time some 20,000 people marched on the streets of Rio in protest with an air of despair but clinging to hope.
Host President Dilma Rousseff's rhetoric could not be further from the reality of the tragic missed opportunity of the weak deal being agreed in Rio. Her grand sounding adjectives describing the result as involving "courage, ambition, responsibility and urgency" are totally dissonant with the lack of commitment, targets and cash put on the table here.
The two summits on sustainable development happening in Rio right now could not be more different. The Peoples' Summit is buzzing with hope and solutions while 40km across town, the Rio+20 Summit was damp with despair and problems.
In the tented Peoples' Summit ideas and opportunities are being shared about how to address the crises of environment, equity and ecology. Experts explained that we have energy solutions to bring about a green energy revolution, avoiding catastrophic climate change and providing access to power for 1.6 billion people who have none: an energy revolution that would provide millions with decent jobs and bolster failing economies. Instead of bailing out banks and bankrolling the fossil fuel industry, as happened in the G20 in Mexico while the negotiators in Rio deleted any sensible progress in the already weak draft document, people called for leaders to fund green economies.
Importantly too, the peoples summit is largely devoid of national parochialism and national self interest. This transnational, inclusive global approach, was seen in virtually every challenge facing humanity that was addressed: indigenous peoples rights, the challenge to generate decent green jobs, gender equality, forest protection, defending our oceans and much more.
At the 'oficial' summit, you see exactly the opposite. The majority of countries put their idea of national self interest first, regional interests second and global concerns third. Unless governments realise that certain problems, such as climate change, an inclusive global economy and so on are addressed in a genuinely global manner, and follow the lead of the majority of civil society, we have no reason to be optimistic.
Greenpeace Brazil continues to collect signatures in support of a Zero Deforestation law. Plans have been unveiled to end the 'wild west' exploitation of the high seas and explanations where given on how sustainable agriculture can end hunger.
Nearly 10,000 people have come to visit the Greenpeace ship, Rainbow Warrior, our own high tech testament to what can be done to save the world tomorrow with technology available today. Their excitement and that of our bright young Brazilian volunteers are a fabulous antidote to the frustration of the bland beige dull atmosphere of the formal governmental summit.
If world leaders had only taken the time to listen, to attend, perhaps they would have been as inspired as I was by the energy and excitement for the world we could build together.
While much could have been achieved over three days in the Rio conference center to put the world on the path of sustainable development, real decisions are being taken each and every day in capitals and boardrooms around the world.
We still need a global deal, we need global governance to support and foster a great transition where equity, economy and ecology are not in competition but in harmony to deliver sustainable development.
But, to borrow from UN General Secretary Ban Ki-Moons' opening speech we must " … follow up on Rio+20 with commitment and action. Now is the time for action." Yes, indeed! People must take note of the failure in Rio, they need to join together in defence of the planet and for the future our children need.
Unless we build a movement in the present like no other the world has ever seen, The Future We Want will remain a tented dream.

Many Euro-American Politicians cannot resist the power of the Invisible Demons, because they Secretly Serve the Invisible Demons, while pretending to be Christians (Proverbs 11:9).
Many Euro-American Politicians and their Puppets are glad to follow the suicidal orders to destroy the Planet, because the Real Rulers of much of this Planet are the Invisible Devil, and his Invisible Demons (Mark 5:1-19).
God has given all rebels against Him, both visible Humans, and Invisible Rebel Angels time to prove that they can be a success without obeying the Laws of the God of the Bible, but not much time is left before Jesus kills the Satan and the Demons (Psalm 127:1, 2; Revelation 12:12).
The Invisible Demons keep using Germany to Destroy Europe, even thorough it also always results in the Destruction of Germany, and this time it is the Euro Common Currency (Ecclesiastes 8:7-13).
Satan and the Demons are Evil, and their Human Servants are Clinically Insane, even though they look normal and plausible, because the Invisible Demons give their Euro-American Secret Devil Worshipping Politicians, and their Puppet Politicians some excuses.
The wise thing to do is to not waste time, and to have your own copy of the Bible, because Jesus is coming with Destructive Force to cleanse the land of its sinners.
Those who obey God and have faith in His Son Jesus Christ will be granted Everlasting Life (Proverbs 21:30; Titus 1:2; 1 John 2:15-17).

So don't worry, everything will be fine...just don't forget to say your rosary!
So you are a friend of the the German way? You must be working for Greenpeace International.
Germany is one of the liveliest democracies in the world.
Germany is one of the greenest nations worldwide although we are far from being sustainable.
The German Energy Revolution is unique, its based on the EEG (sustainable energy law) which is being copied worldwide... Other than dealing with emission-certificates and global climate diplomacy it is not a dead end but a highway to save the climate and stop nuclear power.
The German energy revolution is making german engineering the future Technology Avantgarde...you all want our products, and of course this is the devil's fault
And last but not least: Germany is financing Greenpeace which seems to be almost as much of a problem as financing Greece and the rest of Europe.
I know, I am bad ;)

There is no such thing as Democracy in Euro-America, but it is a Satanic Dictatorship made to look like a Democracy, because the Rulers are Invisible Demons, and their names were not on the Ballot Papers.
I would estimate that each Demon would Great Cunning and Experience in Deception and have an IQ of at least 1,000, and this has to be compared to the human being of 100, and Satan and the Demons want to destroy the Planet, and they want to spend the Moey on the Military to murder Innocent People, rather than on the Enviroment.
The day any Human Being can prove that he can make a butterfly from a caterpillar like God did, is they day I might listen to them, but the reality is that God knows that regretably the only cure for the Planet is the death of those who are destroying it (Revelation 11:18).
Gravity and the earth's Magnetic Field are Invisible and Very Real, and the Invisible Demons may in Fact put on a last minute appearance to deceive People (Revelation 12:12).
This is why you should not look appearances, because appearances can be very deceptive at times (1 Samuel 16:7).
If the wisdom that God has provided by means of the Bible is applied, then we will be successful (Proverbs 3:5-7; Revelation 4:11).
The Invisible Demons see everything, and they can communicate with certain Humans that they wish to by means of making them hear a voice in their heads that only they can hear, and they can torture others in the invisible realm to give themselves up if that is what they want (Mark 5:1-19).
In the same way as the Invisible Demons were able to overpower the pigs and make them commit suicide against their wishes and natural instincts, they have been able to make Europe have Two World Wars, and most of the other problems in the Balkans.
Satan and the Demons love to be on the side of Liars, Malicious Slanderers, and those who perpetrate Injustices and we know why Euro-America is the way it is.
God allowed me to be tortured by the Invisible Demons who hate me, and I suspect it was to educate me as how these Invisible Bullies and Puppet Masters control much of the Euro-American World, and how they control the Puppets of Anglo-America.
I was tortured on a few separate occasions, so that I would not suspect that it was anything other than what it was, and I am grateful that God allowed it to happen to me, because I can educate the teachable, that Jesus will break up the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8).
It lasted a few hours and it was very painful, and these days it is up to Individuals to pray to God to protect them from these Powerful and Evil and Invisible rebel angels.
The wise thing to do is to not waste time, and to have your own copy of the Bible, and obey God, because Jesus and along with the Mighty Angels are coming and to grant Everlasting Life to the righteous (Matthew 25:31-46).

Perhaps we are dealing with a collective failure of perception within the leadership of the human community at the Rio Summit that results in an inadequate reality orientation to the world we inhabit as well as to the 'placement' of the human species within the order of living things. Not nearly enough leaders see that there can be no sensibly functioning global economy without the natural resources and ecosystem services only the Earth can provide. No living Earth, no human economy.
There are no substitutes for certain vital resources and environmental stabilization mechanisms of the Earth. Geo-engineering of the Earth and its ecology, as a way of trying to protect and preserve what is being degraded and destroyed on our watch, could be a monumental fool's errand.

We have seen that only free speech is able to keep a measure of Freedom in America.
Obviously, that free speech does not apply to the use of bad language which is both unnecessary, uncivilized, and takes away the Freedom of those who do not wish to hear the language that serves no humanly purpose, and many would think that a Proper Education System can help to do this.
I do not see things as being either Left Wing or Right Wing, but I classify them as being either Good or Bad, Correct or Incorrect, or Foolish or Wise, and as far as I am concerned, the God of the Bible says that His ways and Laws are Good, Correct, and Wise, and I agree with that.
I caanot see any reason why the Right Wing in Theory should not care about the Ecology and the Enviroment, but we know what I have already written (Genesis 1:27, 28, 31).
There has to be a reason why America is printing Money, but not with the view to spend on the Environment, but on the Military to murder innocent People.
In this world, there are People who believe in God, and there are unbelievers, and each to their own.
If we look at the Data, and we try to explain why, it is all too easy to say that American Politicians are looking for Lobbying Money, and that is why they start Illegal and Immoral Wars, because if it were only about the Money, then there must dozens of ways for the American Politicians to gain Taxpayers with the advice of Lobbyists.
They could build roads and highways, and hospitals, schools, public housing, and protecting the Environment, etc, etc, but they love being Murderers and Liars, just like the Invisible Devil, and his Invisible Demons.
"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44).
If we look at the American road toll alone, then the greatest threat to Americans is other Americans, and even some of those they foolishly Voted for.
I am not suggesting that the America Media should speak of the Invisible realm, when reporting American Politics, but they can write the Facts.
However, some of them they deliberately lie, because they are intimidated or bribed know what happens to honest Journalists and those who want a better world, and the examples are Julian Assange and Bradley Manning.
The American Main Stream Media has failed to be truthful in reporting the Facts since the Vietnamese War, which was based entirely on Lies.
America, and their Media usually admits their Lies and their Criminal Unjust Actions a few years after each event, but they have not done this with the President Bill and Hillary Clinton and other Clintonites' Illegal and Immoral War on Serbia over Kosovo that was based entirely on Lies.
"And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve" (2 Corinthians 11:14, 15).
The Website that is call Antiwar.com has many true News Articles, and if you click on the search function, and then type Kosovo, you will see the Continuing Massive Fraud and Injustices that that began in 1999, and that are continuing to this day.
These Facts are all known to Britain, America, the European Union, and even to most Leaders of Most Countries, and it is Fully Known to the United Nations.
The big Countries were bribed to overlook it, like China for Commercial and Trade Interests with America, and Russia was under the Control of the corrupt Drunkard Boris Yeltsin at the time.
America has been successful in bribing or intimating other Nations to go Cover Up and Assist their Crimes Against Humanity.
America was successful in setting up an Illegal Court under the United Nations, which is called the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, or the ICTY, where they pronounce Many Innocent Serbs Guilty, and many of America's Guilty Allies as Innocent, in order to Whitewash America's Crime against Humanity.
"See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no longer" (Isaiah 26:21).
Representative Ron Paul and Representative Dennis Kucinich, along with All America Politicians know all these things, and we will see to what Degree Ron Paul he is really different to the Clintonites, and he may tell of these Facts that the State Department has, and that everyone knows, and the Republicans may do this in the upcoming American Elections.

Critics say that they are not real Journalists, but all of them are educated, and many of them are highly educated even up to PhD level and they have worked for the American Government.
They do not deliberately lie, when reporting the Facts, and as they only state their genuinely held opinions, and that is all any sensible person would want from Journalists.
if it were only about the Money, then there must dozens of ways for the American Politicians to gain Taxpayers Money with the advice of Lobbyists.
President Dwight Eisenhower warned of Military Industrial Complex, and there is a YouTube Video on it and I think he knew the things I wrote in my other comments.

North Carolina's banking industry trade association is on a hunt for missing history.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) � North Carolina's banking industry trade association is on a hunt for missing history.
The group is searching for the portraits of four former governors to complete the look at chief executives dating back to 1776.
The collection has been done before, but North Carolina Bankers Association President Thad Woodard said a framed poster in the group's offices ended with Gov. Luther Hodges more than half a century ago. It's not clear who designed the poster or why, but the group decided it was due for an update.
A new collection of the state leaders taken from photographs and painted portraiture will be printed at the trade group's expense, Woodard said, and more than 4,000 copies will be distributed to schools beginning next fall.
For the past seven months, the association has had a staffer searching part time for the missing likenesses of the four men who helped run the state in its early years before photography was invented. They include a former attorney for the British Royal government who turned against the empire, two members of the U.S. House, and a U.S. senator, according to biographies prepared by the State Library of North Carolina.
So far, the likenesses of the four governors haven't turned up, though clues surfaced this week that one of their portraits might yet be uncovered.
"These men were in power. They were the leaders of this state," Woodard said. "There's no record (of their portraits) in the Library of Congress, no record in the Senate, no record in the U.S. House. It also tells the story that power is fleeting and that you are remembered more by your good deeds than even what your face might have looked like."
The missing likenesses are those of governors Samuel Ashe, who served from 1795-1798; Nathaniel Alexander, 1805-1807; Gabriel Holmes, 1821-1824; and Jesse Franklin, 1820-1821.
Ashe was born into a wealthy family in 1725 near Bath, but became a prominent Patriot leader decades later. He helped draft the state's original constitution at Halifax in 1776 and became governor at age 70. Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Wilson Library said their records show that an Ashe portrait should be in their collection, but were unable to confirm its existence last week.
Alexander served as a surgeon in the American Revolution and lived on the site of what is now Charlotte Motor Speedway. He served in the U.S. House from 1803 to 1805 on the side of the newly established Republicans headed by President Thomas Jefferson. He resigned his seat to become governor in 1805.
Holmes was defeated by Franklin in the 1820 election for governor. But governors were elected annually, and he beat Franklin in a rematch the following year. Holmes served the then-maximum of three terms, emphasizing the use of limited public funds for education, improved land and water transportation, and help for agriculture. After hitting his term limit, Holmes served in the U.S. House from 1825 until his death four years later.
Franklin served just one year as governor and refused to allow his portrait to be painted. He considered himself a representative of plain people. He fought during the Revolution in the crucial Carolina battles of Kings Mountain and Guilford Courthouse.
After searches of state and federal archives and libraries, Woodard is holding out hope that other portraits are still in private hands.
"Hopefully, somebody somewhere, maybe a distant relative of one of those governors who may now be in Hawaii, may know of something and bring it to us," Woodard said.
Since Hodges left office in 1961, North Carolina has had 10 governors including Pat McCrory, who took office in January. He was preceded by the state's only female governor, Beverly Perdue. The others administrations following Hodges were led by Terry Sanford, Dan Moore, Bob Scott, Jim Holshouser, Jim Hunt, Jim Martin, Hunt again and Mike Easley.
Woodard said the group hasn't been able to find out much about the 1950s-era poster showing 54 of the state's then-total of 60 governors. Two of the missing likenesses have surfaced in the intervening decades.
Specialists in North Carolina history at the State Archives and UNC-Chapel Hill's Wilson Library haven't been able to place the poster. Long-timers at the state Department of Public Instruction didn't recognize it. E-mails to hundreds of retired North Carolina school workers failed to find any who recognized the poster as one that would have appeared in classrooms decades ago.
If the new poster winds up as columns and rows of portraits similar to the 1950s version, it's likely public school leaders will allow its distribution to classrooms. Approval for donated education aids is a case-by-case judgment, Department of Public Instruction spokeswoman Vanessa Jeter said.
"It's going to have to be quite vanilla," Jeter said. "You can't really argue with who the governors were. They are who they were."

The key genealogical facts found on these records may include:
In order to find data in this collection, it will be necessary to know at least the name of the ancestor, the place of the event, and an approximate date.
Some records have indexes at the end of the volume. Frequently, these indexes are arranged by the given name of the individual and sometimes use the Latin form of the name. Those volumes without indexes need to be searched chronologically for the individuals sought.
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information about other people listed in the record. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors.
For example:
It is often helpful to extract the information on all children with the same parents. If the surname is unusual, you may want to compile baptism entries for every person of the same surname and sort them into families based on the names of the parents. Continue to search the baptism records to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who were born, married, and died in or near to the same place.

"Read this!" the critic emoted. "You'll like it!" she opined. "And laugh!" she chortled.
Muriel Spark is better known for her novel The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie than for her light verse. But the 73 poems in All the Poems of Muriel Spark (New Directions, 2004) show how well she mastered this and other forms of poetry.
In "The Creative Writing Class," Spark satirizes the pretentious overwriting often found in the work of bad novelists, amateur poets, and students in MFA programs. This 20-line dialogue poem begins: "'There is,' he declared. / 'Really?' she grinned. / 'Undoubtedly,' he stated. / 'Tomorrow,' she burbled." The poem goes on in the same vein, with an alternating male and female voice, through a last line that suggests the frustration of a teacher who has had enough: "'Silence!' she sneered."
Each line in the poem ends with a word ending in "ed" (a variation on the device known as epistrophe, the repetition of a word or phrase at the end of a line). And "The Creative Writing Class" could be a great poem to read aloud in a writing class: Students with a flair for drama could raise this one to a much higher level of hilarity even than it has on the page.

NHL labor talks broke off soon after they resumed Wednesday, with players maintaining their new proposal was a huge economic concession and Commissioner Gary Bettman pretty much saying the only deal he will agree to is the one management proposed last month.
NEW YORK (AP) ? NHL labor talks broke off soon after they resumed Wednesday, with players maintaining their new proposal was a huge economic concession and Commissioner Gary Bettman pretty much saying the only deal he will agree to is the one management proposed last month.
On the 67th day of a lockout that already has wiped out more than a quarter of the regular season, the sides headed home for Thanksgiving with no end in sight to the sport's fourth work stoppage. The union's negotiating committee planned to brief players and get back in touch with management on Friday.
"We're dealing with a union that really isn't trying to negotiate, make any deal that we can live with for the long-term health of this game," Bettman said outside the league's Manhattan office when questioned by a fan, 41-year-old Jaymes Hall of Lancaster, Pa. "We're hoping that with the passage of time, the players' association will come to realize that what we have proposed has been more than fair. And the fact that we're keeping this proposal on the table, when it was contingent on an 82-game season, should be evidence of our desire to get this done the right way."
Informed of Bettman's comments, union head Donald Fehr said "my response is they seem to consider negotiating to be merely agreeing with them."
"We've identified what's important to players, but they seem to be so far at least unwilling to treat those concerns in a serious way," Fehr said in a telephone interview.
Players made what both sides called a comprehensive proposal. Fehr said the sides were $182 million apart in a five-year deal, which comes to $1.2 million annually for each of the 30 teams.
"On the big things there was as of today no reciprocity in any meaningful sense, no movement on the players' share, no movement on salary-arbitration eligibility, no movement on free agency eligibility, no agreement on a pension plan," Fehr said as he left the talks.
Management wants to increase eligibility for free agency to 28 years of age or eight seasons of NHL service, up from 27 or 7.
Management also proposed Wednesday adding a year of service for salary arbitration eligibility, hiking it from 1-4 to 2-5 years of service, depending on the age a player signs, a person familiar with the bargaining said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because that detail wasn't announced.
"There seems to be a lot of spinning and gamesmanship going on," Bettman said.
Winnipeg defenseman Ron Hainsey, among nine players at the bargaining, said the union was "disappointed with the response."
"There was no meaningful move in our direction on anything that we would consider," he said.
Fehr nearly said players found the day's two bargaining sessions, which totaled 2� hours, to be a waste of time.
"A lot of the people that were there today, given the response we got, thought they had a lot better things to do on the night before Thanksgiving than hear what we got," he said.
The NHL on Oct. 16 proposed a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenue, down from the players' 57 percent portion of $3.3 billion last season. With guaranteed contracts likely to push the players' share over the halfway mark at the start of the next deal, management wants that money to come out of future years to bring the overall percentage down to an even split over the length of an agreement.
Players previously had proposed they receive a guaranteed amount of income each year.
"Gary said we were $900 million or a $1 billion apart," Fehr said, referring to the gap over a five-year deal. "At the moment we are exactly $182 million apart."
Fehr said players proposed they get $393 million over the length of the deal, while the NHL is at $211 million. Management wants a seven-year deal, which the union says is too long because less than half the current players will be active by the last season.
"To expect our best economic proposal to get better as the damage continues to increase isn't particularly realistic," Bettman said. "From an economic standpoint, we've given what we have to give. It was our best offer. And again, put it in the context that the business is probably losing between $18 and $20 million a day and the players are losing between $8 and $10 million a day."
This is the league's third lockout since 1994. The first settled on Jan. 11 and the last one led to Bettman announcing the cancellation of the 2004-05 season on Feb. 15.
The league has canceled 326 games through Nov. 30 plus the Jan. 1 Winter Classic between Toronto and Detroit at Ann Arbor, Mich. More cancellations are coming.
"That's something that we're going to have to look at on a daily basis," Bettman said. "I think that becomes inevitable as time goes on."

My mom believes that a cookie without chocolate is always better for you than one that contains chocolate. I don't know where she got that idea, but I learned long ago not to argue with her on this point (as well as many other points). Anyways, she likes these oatmeal coconut walnut cookies and doesn't mind if my niece and nephews have more than one cookie at a time. As the name implies, these cookies have oatmeal (grain), coconut (fruit) and walnuts (good fat, some protein), but they also have lots of butter and sugar. I'm not really complaining since butter and sugar are the cornerstones of a super yummy cookie. This time I made the cookies following the recipe but in the past I've also made them with chopped chocolate in place of half of the walnuts. But please don't tell my mom.
Oatmeal Coconut Walnut Cookies
(adapted from Tish Boyle's "The Good Cookie")
(makes 5 dozen cookies)
2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
8 ounces (2 sticks/1 cup) unsalted butter, softened at room temp
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 375F. Grease or line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in oatmeal. Set aside dry ingredients.
In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, cream butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
On low speed, add flour-oatmeal mixture and mix until just blended. Add coconut and walnuts and mix until just combined.
Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto your prepared cookies sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten the mounds of dough slightly. Bake at 375F until golden brown, about 12-14 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.

In the first installment of this two-part series on developing OpenCL host programs in Python with PyOpenCL, I explained some PyOpenCL features and showed how to build and deploy a kernel for OpenCL device execution. In this article, I discuss advanced features included in PyOpenCL that reduce the code required to build and deploy OpenCL kernels for many common parallel algorithms.
Checking OpenCL Program Build Failures
The code you write for an OpenCL program might generate a build failure. For example, the following lines show a modified version of the example introduced in the previous article that includes a typo and tries to access an undefined
gresult variable, instead of
program = cl.Program(context, """ __kernel void matrix_dot_vector(__global const float4 *matrix, __global const float4 *vector, __global float *result) { int gid = get_global_id(0); gresult[gid] = dot(matrix[gid], vector[0]); } """).build()
When you execute code that tries to build the OpenCL program with the
matrix_dot_vector kernel, PyOpenCL raises a
pyopencl.RuntimeError exception and provides detailed results about the detected errors. In addition, PyOpenCL saves the OpenCL program source in a temporary file that you can access after the build fails. The following lines show the results from a Windows Python console when I execute the previous lines:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 8, in <module>
File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\pyopencl\__init__.py", line 176, in build
options=options, source=self._source)
File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\pyopencl\__init__.py", line 216, in _build_and_catch_errors
raise err
pyopencl.RuntimeError: clBuildProgram failed: build program failure -
Build on <pyopencl.Device 'ATI RV730' on 'AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing' at 0x4aeee10>:
"C:\Users\gaston\AppData\Local\Temp\OCL2732.tmp.cl", line 6: error: identifier
"gresult" is undefined
gresult[gid] = dot(matrix[gid], vector[0]);
1 error detected in the compilation of "C:\Users\gaston\AppData\Local\Temp\OCL2732.tmp.cl".
Internal error: clc compiler invocation failed.
(options: -I c:\python33\lib\site-packages\pyopencl\cl)
(source saved as c:\users\gaston\appdata\local\temp\tmpxqpd6n.cl)
It is extremely important to check for the exceptions raised by the build method because the default behavior for PyOpenCL is to use the cached build if one exists. Thus, if you don't check for exceptions and run the code again in the Python console, you will see the results of the matrix multiplication, but they will be produced by the previous version of the kernel code (the cached build code).
Working with Wait Lists and Command Events
PyOpenCL provides support for OpenCL command events and wait lists with the following two classes that also allow you to access OpenCL event profiling information:
pyopencl.Eventenables you to monitor the execution of a kernel and the completion of a data transfer operation that doesn't involve a host-side buffer.
pyopencl.NannyEvent(subclass of
pyopencl.Event) makes it possible to monitor the completion of a data transfer operation that involves a host-side buffer.
The following lines show a new version of the matrix-by-vector multiplication sample I introduced in the previous article. I don't show the initial lines because they don't change, so I just start with the changes in the line that calls the
program.matrix_dot_vector method that deploys the kernel for device execution. The code uses the results of the matrix-by-vector multiplication to generate a new
float4 vector named
vector2 and make another kernel call to multiply this vector by another matrix named
matrix2. The new version uses events to monitor both the execution of the kernels and the completion of the data-transfer operations.
matrix_dot_vector_kernel_event = program.matrix_dot_vector(queue, matrix_dot_vector.shape, None, matrix_buf, vector_buf, destination_buffer) matrix_dot_vector_copy_event = cl.enqueue_copy(queue, matrix_dot_vector, destination_buffer, is_blocking=False, wait_for=[matrix_dot_vector_kernel_event]) matrix_dot_vector_copy_event.wait() print(matrix_dot_vector) vector2 = numpy.zeros((1, 1), cl.array.vec.float4) vector2['x'] = matrix_dot_vector[0] vector2['y'] = matrix_dot_vector[1] vector2['z'] = matrix_dot_vector[2] vector2['w'] = matrix_dot_vector[3] matrix2 = numpy.zeros((1, 4), cl.array.vec.float4) matrix2[0, 0]['s0'] = 1 matrix2[0, 0]['s1'] = 2 matrix2[0, 0]['s2'] = 3 matrix2[0, 0]['s3'] = 4 matrix2[0, 1]['s0'] = 5 matrix2[0, 1]['s1'] = 6 matrix2[0, 1]['s2'] = 7 matrix2[0, 1]['s3'] = 8 matrix2[0, 2]['s0'] = 9 matrix2[0, 2]['s1'] = 10 matrix2[0, 2]['s2'] = 11 matrix2[0, 2]['s3'] = 12 matrix2[0, 3]['s0'] = 13 matrix2[0, 3]['s1'] = 14 matrix2[0, 3]['s2'] = 15 matrix2[0, 3]['s3'] = 16 matrix2_buf = cl.Buffer(context, mem_flags.READ_ONLY | mem_flags.COPY_HOST_PTR, hostbuf=matrix2) vector2_buf = cl.Buffer(context, mem_flags.READ_ONLY | mem_flags.COPY_HOST_PTR, hostbuf=vector2) matrix2_dot_vector2 = numpy.zeros(4, numpy.float32) destination_buffer2 = cl.Buffer(context, mem_flags.WRITE_ONLY, matrix2_dot_vector2.nbytes) matrix2_dot_vector2_kernel_event = program.matrix_dot_vector(queue, matrix_dot_vector2.shape, None, matrix2_buf, vector2_buf, destination_buffer2, wait_for=[matrix_dot_vector_copy_event]) matrix2_dot_vector2_copy_event = cl.enqueue_copy(queue, matrix2_dot_vector2, destination_buffer2, is_blocking=False, wait_for=[matrix2_dot_vector2_kernel_event]) matrix2_dot_vector2_copy_event.wait() print(matrix2_dot_vector2)
The code assigns the result of the call to
program.matrix_dot_vector method to the
matrix_dot_vector_kernel_event variable that holds an instance of
pyopencl.Event. Then, the call to
cl.enqueue_copy uses this
pyopencl.Event instance in the list of events that the method has to wait for before starting the data transfer. Notice that the
wait_for argument is a list of
pyopencl.Event instances, so you can schedule the execution when more than one event indicates that the execution of other operations finished. In this case, because the data transfer involved a host-side buffer,
cl.enqueue_copy returns a new instance of
pyopencl.NannyEvent that the code assigns to the
matrix_dot_vector_copy_event variable. Notice that the
is_blocking argument is set to
False, so the method won't wait for completion and will return the
pyopencl.NannyEvent instance. Just to demonstrate one possible wait mechanisms you can use, the code calls the
wait() method for this instance to block until the execution of the operation related to the event finishes.
After the data transfer finishes, the code creates a new
cl.array.vec.float4 vector (
vector2) by using the results of the matrix-by-vector multiplication. In this case, the code uses the identifiers available in OpenCL for
float4 vectors to assign the different values for each scalar value:
'z', and
'w'. The four lines that assign values to the different scalar values are equivalent to the following code that uses the other identifiers:
's2', and
vector2['s0'] = matrix_dot_vector[0] vector2['s1'] = matrix_dot_vector[1] vector2['s2'] = matrix_dot_vector[2] vector2['s3'] = matrix_dot_vector[3]
Next, the code defines a new matrix (
matrix2) composed of four
cl.array.vec.float4 vectors. In this case, the code also uses the following OpenCL identifiers to assign each scalar value:
's2', and
's3'. This example demonstrates a way you can continue using your existing OpenCL knowledge while working on the host program with PyOpenCL.
The code assigns the result of the second call to the
program.matrix_dot_vector method to the
matrix2_dot_vector2_kernel_event variable that holds an instance of
pyopencl.Event. In this case, there is a value for the
wait_for argument specifying that the method must make sure that the execution related to the
matrix_dot_vector_copy_event event finished before starting.
The code chains the following executions by specifying the different values in the
wait_for arguments:
- Deploy the
matrix_dot_vectorkernel for execution
- Transfer the results of the
matrix_dot_vectorkernel to the host program
- Deploy the
matrix_dot_vectorkernel for execution with new arguments
- Transfer the new results of the
matrix_dot_vectorkernel to the host program
You can use the events provided by PyOpenCL to have the same features you would employ in a C or C++ host program that uses the OpenCL events to specify when the different calls must be executed on OpenCL devices.
Working with the Element-Wise Expression Evaluation Builder
PyOpenCL provides a
pyopencl.elementwise module that allows you to build kernels that evaluate multi-stage expressions on one or more operands in a single and efficient pass, avoiding the creation of temporary intermediate results that reduce overall throughput. The following lines show how to use the
pyopencl.elementwise.ElementwiseKernel class to calculate the
x component of polygon vertices:
import pyopencl as cl import pyopencl.array as cl_array import numpy if __name__ == "__main__": platform = cl.get_platforms()[0] device = platform.get_devices()[0] context = cl.Context([device]) queue = cl.CommandQueue(context) n = 40000 x_origin_gpu = cl_array.to_device(queue, numpy.arange(0, n, 1, dtype=numpy.float32)) # x_origin[i] + r * cos(2 * PI * i / n) from pyopencl.elementwise import ElementwiseKernel calculate_polygon_vertices_x = ElementwiseKernel(context, "float r, float *x_origin, float *x ", operation="x[i] = x_origin[i] + (r * cos(2 * M_PI * i / n))", name="calculate_polygon_vertices_x", preamble="#define M_PI 3.14159265358979323846") x_gpu = cl_array.empty_like(x_origin_gpu) # long n is included in the element-wise kernel # float r, float *x_origin, float *x event = calculate_polygon_vertices_x(50.0, x_origin_gpu, x_gpu) print(x_gpu)
The documentation for PyOpenCL contains many errors because some newer methods removed unnecessary arguments. For example,
pyopencl.array.to_device (
cl_array.to_device in the previous code sample) requires a
CommandQueue as one of its arguments, but it doesn't require a
Context anymore. The
to_device method returns an
Array that is an exact copy of the
numpy.ndarray instance received as a parameter. The following line uses this method to generate the
x origin points (
x_origin_gpu) that will be used as an argument to call the generated kernel. Notice that the
to_device method and the element-wise kernel builder make it easier to pass arguments to the kernel than in the previous example:
x_origin_gpu = cl_array.to_device(queue, numpy.arange(0, n, 1, dtype=numpy.float32))

A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain
Penguin Adult, 1971 - Travel - 730 pages
Britain in the early eighteenth century: an introduction that is both informative and imaginative, reliable and entertaining. To the tradition of travel writing Daniel Defoe brings a lifetime's experience as a businessman, soldier, economic journalist and spy, and his Tour (1724-6) is an invaluable source of social and economic history. But this book is far more than a beautifully written guide to Britain just before the industrial revolution, for Defoe possessed a wild, inventive streak that endows his work with astonishing energy and tension, and the Tour is his deeply imaginative response to a brave new economic world. By employing his skills as a chronicler, a polemicist and a creative writer keenly sensitive to the depredations of time, Defoe more than achieves his aim of rendering 'the present state' of Britain.
What people are saying - Write a review
This journal of a series of trips "circuits" around England in the 1720's is part travelogue, part witty examination of legends, fables, & "history, part economic catalog, and part survery of facts of England.
It's written by Daniel Defoe-writer, journalist, soldier, & spy. Although less well known than some of his other works, it's well written and worth the effort.
The book captures England on the cusp of dramatic change. England was emerging into peace and prosperity after decades of dynastic and religious wars. Defoe captures English life just at the beginning of industrialization.
While popular with social historians and economists for all the detail it provides about life in this period, Defoe's witty and direct prose make it an interesting read for anyone wanting to learn more about 18th Century England.
