Unfortunately, (using a CPU slot for the same work unit) TPF is 2-3 times slower than on Ubuntu for me. Much of the speed difference seems to be related to libOpenCL. If remove libOpenCL on Ubuntu, it's still 20-30% faster than on FreeBSD. Don't know how stable the TPF numbers are, so numbers may be bogus. Will a CPU slot also use the GPU with libOpenCL or is it just using better optimized code? I tried to install libOpenCL but all I get is: OpenCL: Not detected: clGetPlatformIDs() returned -1001 Since there's no CUDA support for FreeBSD, I guess there is no point in trying getting GPU slots to work. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
