    The debugger requires Visual Studio, bummer.

      gDEBugger was a cross platform opengl/opencl debugger before amd bought them. I am surprised/disappointed to see them offer only a windows version.

  AMD's GPU support for Linux has always been spotty. How much does this depend on their hardware drivers?

    I don't know, but in my experience, almost all HPC (scientific computing, seismic imaging, etc) work is done in linux environments. So what gives?
• masklinn 15y ago
  Wait, wasn't Microsoft's OpenCL alternative DirectCompute?

  Task Manager API: A framework to manage scheduling kernels across devices This makes me wonder... how useful is the GPU for kernel development?

    I think they meant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPGPU#Kernels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPGPU#Kernels
  • rmjb 15y ago
    If you mean OS Kernels, rather than OpenCL kernels as snippyhollow pointed, you might want to look at http://code.google.com/p/kgpu/ http://code.google.com/p/kgpu/
