As this board is concerned with the implementation of an open graphics
card I would like to ask if it is theoretically possible to create an
open opencl device with TMS320C6473. I mean a PCIExpress board carrying
TMS320C6473 and sufficient scheduling and PCIE logic to route opencl
tasks created at the host CPU to be executed by the 6-core dsp and get
back the results. Is it more difficult than an open GFX card?
Theoretically yes. You can build a PCI-E card around a TMS320,
you can write an OpenCl engine for it. How easy it is compared
to the OGP approach, is a different question and cannot be answered
without an analysis of the specs.
May i ask why you ask this?

Currently there is no Open source opencl hardware. I believe that the
above could be a feasible solution with the help of LLVM community or
Gallium crowd. The gfx cardd can be developed as a VGA board and have an
opencl engine. ZMS05 by ZiiLabs does a similar thing but I believe it is
not open source friendly or suitable. I find the OpenGL target of the
OpenGraphics a bit outdated (however I WILL BUY ONE :-) ). I have the
feeling that OpenGL can be impklemented on top of OpenCL+VGA , but I may
be wrong.
