Phoronix: Mesa's "Rusticl" Implementation Can Now Manages To Handle Darktable OpenCL

Rusticl as what started out as a Rust language experiment for Mesa and has now matured into a working OpenCL 3.0 implementation for Mesa drivers is still making progress and on a path towards eventually being mainlined...

Hooray!

Intel already has a working openCL stack. Call us when AMD works.

On what GPU hardware was this tested Intel or Amd and has anyone found benchmark comparisons yet compared to original OpenCl implementation running Darktable?

Maybe at the time Geekbench works (on their nice to have list), Davinci Resolve can also be tested?

The last time Micheal wrote about this project it stated that it had only been tested against Intel. It also stated it might be able to get it to work with others. I assume Intel is footing the bill for the work. AMD has money to throw at every thing these days except fully working openCL drivers so I don't expect this to ever work with AMD. It may work with NVidia some day as the guy writing the Rusticle code is a Redhat employee and Redhat has traditionally been closer to NVidia than to Intel or AMD on the graphics side.

Indeed the previous article mentions Intel 12th gen, still a benchmark comparison about the good/weak points of this new implementation could be insightfull.

It seems that Davinci Resolve is already on the radar.

I read through that gitlab thread and it is pretty exciting. They look to be testing with a wide range of applications. Resolve, Darktable, GIMP, FFMPEG, etc. Karol seems to be a pretty solid developer so maybe some thing good comes out of this. Fingers crossed.
