A GPU card's support for OpenCL in OS X applications is not same thing
as support for OpenCL patches inside Quartz Composer environment if I
recall correctly. Somebody please fill in gaps/correct if I'm wrong.

But, the iMac'a system info reports under Graphics/Displays that it
also sports an
ATI Radeon HD 4850:
Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 4850
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x944a
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-B9110C-425
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.383
And the Apple website http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html says:
"OpenCL
requires one of the following graphics cards or graphics processors:
NVIDIA GeForce 320M, GeForce GT 330M, GeForce 9400M, GeForce 9600M
GT, GeForce 8600M GT, GeForce GT 120, GeForce GT 130, GeForce GTX
285, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX5600
ATI Radeon HD 4670, ATI Radeon HD 4850, Radeon HD 4870, ATI Radeon
HD 5670, ATI Radeon HD 5750, ATI Radeon HD 5770, ATI Radeon HD 5870
AMD Radeon HD 6750M, AMD Radeon HD 6770M, AMD Radeon HD 6970M"
Seeing as how the official apple list of OpenCL supported graphics
processors lists ATI Radeon HD 4850 and my machine reports having an
ATI Radeon HD 4850 installed, why does Quartz Composer (version 4.0
103.1) not report it in the OpenCL Context Info?
The machine is running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.

The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but
plunges him more deeply into them.
