Phoronix: Gallium3D Clover Gets OpenCL 1.2 clCreateImage Support

Mesa's Gallium3D "Clover" state tracker still lacks full OpenCL 1.2 support, but as of yesterday the CL 1.2's clCreateImage() function was hooked up...

It'd be nice if mesamatrix added CL progress. I'm not really sure where it stands, for any GPU.

That's gold. My apu is waiting for opencl support. However for newer hardware AMD should open source the their 2.0 version, if I'm not mistaken.

Should this be updated then, http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/GalliumCompute/

Seems pretty done for 1.1. But a cavecat seems to be array of images.

That would be nice indeed. I'll look at that, but I need to find a source file to parse somewhere

Another bit required for http://www.mandelbulber.com/. But there's still a long way to go:

error: OpenCL does not support the 'static' storage class specifier

And after removing static from the kernels:

unsupported call to function logf in fractal3D

Beignet has had all this for many, many months now...

AMD is going to open source their proprietary OpenCL implementation, right?
