Re: [pocl-devel] Using pocl as CPU-only OpenCL driver

Hi,

coexist with any other graphics drivers in the system providing OpenCL on
the GPUs so it shows just as another CPU OpenCL device?

You can build pocl with `ENABLE_ICD=yes` and then copy `pocl.icd` to
/etc/OpenCL/vendors

Yes.

(Shameless plug: I've packaged pocl for conda package manager for
arm64-apple-darwin,
x86_64-apple-darwin, x86_64-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, ppc64le-linux-gnu.
If you want binary packages, you can check them out.)
