I don't think there is a special version of a driver for supporting OpenCL, but I may be wrong. Here are the results of some quick searching:
*) For ATI cards, the following link contains the version of drivers that support OpenCL, the "Tested Drivers (necessary for OpenCL GPU support)" table: http://developer.amd.com/GPU/ATISTREAMSDK/Pages/default.aspx *) For NVIDIA I found the following link: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/opencl-download.html Currently I have NVIDIA driver 197.13 (http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda_3_0_downloads.html), and I can run both CUDA and OpenCL apps. I guess BOINC can be conservative and require a rather recent version of drivers to make sure that OpenCL and CUDA/Stream are properly supported. -Kamran -----Original Message----- From: David Anderson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 11:29 AM To: Kamran Karimi Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] OpenCL support? Are OpenCL drivers separate from the NVIDIA/ATI display drivers? I.e., does the NVIDIA driver from some version onward contain OpenCL support? If not: do OpenCL drivers have standard names? -- David Kamran Karimi wrote: > > I wonder how much support BOINC is offering for OpenCL?
