I'm still hoping that FreeBSD could get back into it's shiny domain
being a highly reliable and performant Berkeley UNIX like OS, so for my
scientific purposes I'm still looking and watching what's going on.
I found on this slide show a talk, given by some AMD fellow, about an
OpenCL compiler:
http://llvm.org/devmtg/2010-11/
(go down to the movies/slides and watch out for:
AMD OpenCL Compiler - Using LLVM to produce a cross-platform
heterogeneous compiler tool chain
and enjoy).
In this talk, only OS X, Windows and Linux are explicitely mentioned. Is
there no interest in supporting the *BSD, preferably FreeBSD? As far as
I know, the essential backend of this chain will be the AMD graphics
card driver with its CAL compiler generating the binary code. Yes, I
know, bringing up the 'FreeBSD and HPC / GPGPU-issue' is naiv and maybe
boring, but hope is something that can be very persistent ...
Regards,
Oliver
