Hello,

Cuda 5.5 is installed now and I 've tried an export. There is a significant increase in performance only in exports. But while working on lighttable and in darkroom, there is no increase in performance at all. Unfortunately nothing snappier, no quicker previews than without opencl.

Best Regards

Hello,

Here are detailled instructions on how to install CUDA : Getting started guide for Linux <http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-getting-started-guide-for-linux/index.html#runfile-installation>
The download page <https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads>

If you can compile the CUDA example deviceQuerry and run it then your installation is ok.
I don't know if OpenCL/darktable make use of CUDA

    Hello,

    I'd like to do some benchmarks.
    When I run with opencl enabled (checked "opencl" in the gui and
    restart)
    I get the nearly the same two values (e.g. for equalizer):
    [dev_process_preview] pixel pipeline processing took 1,005 secs
    (2,764 CPU)

    It doesn't make any difference whether with or without opencl. The
    stay
    always the same.
    Why are there two values shown?

    Here is the output with opencl enabled:

    $ darktable -d opencl -d perf

    It exits well:

    events were successful and 0 events lost


    The following OpenCL packages are installed. Perf Logging seems fine.
    The following packages are installed:

    nvidia-opencl-common
    nvidia-opencl-icd
    ocl-icd-libopencl1

    I don't have a particular Cuda package installed. There are available
    packages:

    libcuda1
    libcuda1-i386
    libcudart5.5
    nvidia-cuda-dev
    nvidia-cuda-doc
    nvidia-cuda-gdb
    nvidia-cuda-mps
    nvidia-cuda-toolkit
    python-pycuda
    python-pycuda-dbg
    python-pycuda-doc
    python3-pycuda
    python3-pycuda-dbg

    I'd love to get more into.
