Thanks! I commited the remaining shot routines, that I ported to OpenCL, to SVN trunk.
Right now SVN trunk has the following shot routines ported to OpenCL: arb8, ehy, ell, sph (Jon Engbert), tor, tgc. Next thing I should work on will be refactoring the kernel argument passing. Post that the work should focus on in-device memory primitive database storage. librt presently has support for allocating and freeing primitives individually but we want to do the allocations and frees en masse to minimize the amount of system calls and bus transfers. Given that this will require changes to the API of librt this work will proceed on an opencl branch.
