Hi All,
Just wanted to announce a small bit of news: pocl [1], is now in a
'working state' [2] on an ARM chromebook (tested on the Samsung exynos
one).
Ofcourse, atm, it's running on the CPU, but hope we can do something
to get it working on the GPU as well!
Please do feel free to go ahead and test, and of course help improve
this code base!
Thanks a bunch, Tom, for being such a nice leader-from-the-front to
get this done!

As part of the piglit test suite, there is a growing collection of
OpenCL tests. Unlike the Khronos test suite which is under a limited
license the piglit test suite is freely available.
Piglit is not a replacement for those needing to pass the Khronos
validation test suite to earn official OpenCL branding. Piglit IS a
good addition to further test an OpenCL implementation and promote
consistency between OpenCL implementations.
It is especially interesting for open source projects implementing the
OpenCL standard such as Mesa or SNU.
I've gotten the OpenCL portion of piglit on ARM to build using the
Mesa implementation of OpenCL. Unfortunately the backend
implementation for OpenCL on Mesa is dependent on the GPU and does not
offer (yet) a CPU only implementation. Thus the # of tests that I've
run are as of yet quite limited. (We're also looking at SNU but that
has issues as well)
