Phoronix: OpenCL 1.2 Support Merged For Mesa's Gallium3D Clover While OpenCL 3.0 Is Being Tackled

With this quarter's Mesa 20.3 the Gallium3D "Clover" state tracker providing OpenCL support finally can handle version 1.2!..

Unfortunately it's not very useful until they add image support

Does this mean I could run Folding@Home on my RX 570 on Mesa 20.3 fully? Last time I tried I had to kludge together a hybrid of AMDGPU OpenCL + Mesa everything else.

This is great news. My thanks to the devs involved! I hope that reaching performance parity with closed source implementations doesn't take as long as the bring up. And I truly wish that Clover gives the closed implementations a run for their money.

i'm not sure what are those closed implementations you are referring to. afaik intel and amd's opencl is open

clinfo still says OpenCL C 1.1, are there other requirements for 1.2?

AMD PAL OpenCL and Orca aren't. Only ROCm, which only works on some systems.

Will this allow to run SYCL on non ROCm AMD hardware?

Good to see!
