Besides what Brian just pointed out, it's also worth noting that the one problem that everyone dreads is creating LLVM code-generator for TGSI. Everyone seems to agree that it's a darn complicated task with a somewhat undefined scope. It's obviously something that will be mandatory for OpenCL, but I doubt anyone will touch it before it's an absolute must. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
