I am very new to OpenCL, however I have fair amount of experience on GPU programming using CUDA. I used to use clock function inside CUDA kernel (as mentioned in here) to measure ticks of certain operations inside the kernel. I wrote a simple OpenCL vector addition kernel and tried to run it on the intel integrated GPU. The program ran fine and gave correct output. But then I tried to use the clock function inside the kernel function and there is JIT compilation error while executing the clBuildProgram. The vector addition kernel that I wanted to execute is provided below:

__kernel void testVecAdd(__global const int *a,__global const int *b,__global int *c,

                 __global float *t){



clock_t start = clock();



 int gid = get_global_id(0);

 c[gid] = a[gid] + b[gid];



 t[gid] = (float)(clock()-start)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;



}

The errors are as follows:

/home/duttasankha/Desktop/SANKHA_ALL/IGPU_RESEARCH_RELATED/OCL_PRAC_DIR/test_OCL_1.cl:6:2: error: use of undeclared identifier 'clock_t'

Failed to build program...: -11 (CL_BUILD_PROGRAM_FAILURE)

Build failed!

I was able to do this in the CUDA as it supports clock function. But similar goals was not achieved with the intel iGPU. I also tried other functions to measure the ticks but none of them worked as well. I also tried offline compilation using ioc64 but I got same errors. I was just wondering if someone could tell me is there anything wrong I am doing in here or getting the ticks using clock (or similar) functions is not possible in the intel integrated GPU. It is absolutely necessary for me to get this execution traces. So if using clock function is not a viable option then I was wondering what would be the alternate option in here to achieve same goals and how can I use it? Thank you.
