Welcome to Open Discussion
Hello!I am a college student.I saw this project just now.I am wondering about what kind of the forum it would be before any kind of compiler or library is going to realease to support the openCL. I have seen most part of the specifications which was released in Feb,2009, however it is tedious without a compiler to use, so I would appreciate that if you could give more information about opencl and its compiler.Thank you!
Hi,
You are right, there is no libraries or compilers to OpenCL yet. But the specification is complete enough to start the project planning. I'm still writing it (in Portuguese, but I will translate and post it in English :), but I can tell my first ideas.
This project will be simpler than you can think, it will create proxy-stub libraries with the OpenCL interface to able an application to access a remote OpenCL device. In a second step, the library will be able to access several remote devices, creating a software grid using the OpenCL interface.
So, I don't need to care about the compiler, because the clCreateProgramWithSource calls will be forwarded to the device's OpenCL implementation.
I already done a skeleton of a logger library, but I obviously can't test it :/
Regards
Hello, Andre LRT:
Thank you for give me a brief introduction about this project.I'll continue to concern this project, looking for your successful library.
