OpenCL Host-to-Memory Read Speed varies in linux kernels

Board: Teriasic De10 Nano

OpenCL for FPGA standard 18.1

Hi everyone,

I am working on a project on De10 nano using OpenCL. I ran an official board test program from Terasic on two OS.

One is the official img from Terasic and got a Host-global-memory read speed of 155 MB/s

The other one is on a linux kernel 4.19 with Ubuntu and got a Host-global-memory read speed of 60 MB/s.

Does anyone know are there any configurations in kernel complication that would affect the Host-global-memory read speed?

The boardtest reports are attached.

Thanks in advance!
