We recently added code to the client that detects the ability to run OpenCL apps for CPU, and reports this to the server, where it can be used by plan class functions. This will be not in the next public release but in the one after that, maybe 2-3 months.
OpenCL/CPU is a way to use multiple cores. The advantages are the same as for multicore apps in general: smaller memory footprint and shorter turnaround time. If you need these properties and already are using OpenCL for GPUs, you might want to look into this. (this is using the Intel SDK, BTW). -- David _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
