Intel Open-Sources LLVM Graphics Compiler, Compute Runtime With OpenCL 2.1+

[willmore]

since they have a open driver the things will work with opengl and vulkan if gpu can do that. I have a sandybridge too and it only have ogl 3.3 because it can be more than that, for example Apple make their on driver and intel sandy only have 3.2 and windows 3.1. The support in linux by intel is good

This discussion is about OpenCL, not OpenGL.

While I appreciate the effort to bring more advanced OpenCL support to Intel IGPs, I can't help but feeling distressed that every time they make an advance, they reset the processor generation it's attached it. It makes it seem like older chips will never be supported. And by older chips, I mean anything but the current newest generation.

It often doesnt make a lot of sence to have your primary developers focused on the past. By the time something like this is stabilized the hardware they have targetted will be legacy anyways.

In any event it is great to see yet another LLVM project come to light. LLVM has become like the Linux kernel with its wide adoption.

Will Neo support be broadened to include Broadwell in later updates, or this Arch (and earlier) left on Beignet/Closed-Source?

Broadwell support is already enabled in this driver stack, albeit for OpenCL 2.0.

ok compile fails to me

Could I ask you to file an issue on our project page @ github? We would like tu understand what is not working for you.

Hi Adam, welcome to the forum!

Which Intel projects are you involved? So we can tag you, like we do to Kayden when related to graphics or Arjan when related to Clear Linux

I will try again and see if something is wrong with my config and if persists I report

"Neo" that is meant to replace both Beignet and their closed-source/classic OpenCL driver.

So you mean Neo is The One?
Cool. Everyone loves mister Anderson.

I have to disagree. CPUs & iGPUs haven't made a lot of progress, in recent years. This means that, more than ever before, there's a lot of older CPUs kicking around.

I've still got two SandyBridge i7's and hadn't even considered upgrading until Coffee Lake or Zen+. But with Meltdown and Spectre, I think I'll just sit tight and wait for a generation with some hardware fixes (maybe Zen 2).

It's a great thing that OpenCL is getting more attention.

I wish Raspberry Pi would hurry up and release something based on VidCore V. I think that'll be a game-changer for OpenCL adoption, with so many people using it for robotics (computer vision) and machine learning.

Thank you! I co-manage the team that develops the NEO OpenCL driver.
