Here's a post from 2012 titled "AMD’s OpenCL heaven and hell": http://www.msoos.org/2012/01/amds-opencl-heaven-and-hell/ http://www.msoos.org/2012/01/amds-opencl-heaven-and-hell/ Things have not changed since then. Here is the author of the book "OpenCL in Action" discussing his problems with AMD's drivers: http://www.openclblog.com/2014/10/amd-and-opencl-20.html http://www.openclblog.com/2014/10/amd-and-opencl-20.html Best quote: "dealing with fglrx is murder. I have never installed an AMD graphics driver without repeated trial and error." My own impression (using AMD consumer cards for OpenCL on Linux) is that AMD just do not give a damn - their documentation is way out of date, their support in the forums is poor/nonexistent, their installers are just broken most of the time, etc etc.
