Ok, thanks.

Well, the situation on Linux is not that homogeneous unfortunately.
While NVIDIA properly provides an so-name comprising a
version-indicator, ATI does not. Thus if you use NVIDIA's SDK to build
you app you'll end up with a binary that won't execute on an ATI system
by default (it's fine the other way round). I already talked to ATI
about this and they'll consider to fix this.

Ok, so when the core client enumerates the devices, it requests
CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU devices only, right?


Thanks,
Oliver
