That's pretty disturbing. I had assumed that the driver would support compilation when passed a block of text containing code for a kernel. I thought that (or support for some intermediate pseudo-language) was a required part of OpenCL. I had thought that one of the benefits of OpenCL what that a single binary would support CPU multiple GPUs and any other coprocessor that supported OpenCL. Maybe that's been reduced to source code compatibility only? _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
