All,
Am glad that I found this mailing list although lately. I had
purchased samsung arm chromebook thinking I can have some gpgpu stuffs on
mali T604. Sadly no OpenCL drivers are available for mali(forget opencl no
graphics driver) for linux!! sigh
First I tried pocl on this chromebook. Its an excellent piece of software.
FYI there is one more project that provides opencl on arm
http://www.browndeertechnology.com/coprthr_libocl.htm . My clinfo shows
shows 2 platforms now :)
I have a few questions:
1. Why isn't there opencl GPU drivers for linux? why! libhybris
https://github.com/libhybris/libhybris is a project that gives stub
GL/GLES.. libraries which speak to android bionic compiled GL/CL drivers. I
tried really hard to get this work on cheomebook using arndale/nexus 10
graphics drivers which has opencl support. I put few opencl symbols inside
these stubs, eventually it segfaulted!
2. Why does ARM license mali ddk to vendors(who decide whether to provide
drivers) and not provide free gpu display drivers for linux
Speaking about HSA, are ARM HSA devices in the pipeline? Anything that we
can work on
Eventually OpenCL/HSA will have to come mainstream to utilize full power of
the system. Let me know if I can contribute somehow
Thanks,
Krishnaraj
