Can no longer find the event on the GTC webpage, it looks like they've stealth cancelled it.

[Doctor Nick]

I doubt that they're going to make any contributions to ZFS on Linux. Their gameplan for that has to be:
1) Wait for Canonical to go public....

A bunch of Extremely Normal People in this thread. This isn't some sort of vast conspiracy, this is a result of a bunch of simmering discontent that's...

6 months later...

[Doctor Nick]

It's been 4 months, still no 270x support. What the hell, guys?

[Doctor Nick]

oibaf, what do you use to compile and upload these source packages? Right now I'm just using shell scripts to import your sources, apply patches to change...

[Doctor Nick]

I suppose so? I haven't built trusty yet, but I'll implement it sometime this week....

[Doctor Nick]

Ok, after tinkering with it a bit, I think I can finally say that it's ready for people to test:

BLEEDIER, EDGIER Graphics Drivers

I'm the NickZ, thanks for the shoutout.

BTW, If you want to run the gui, make sure to close your webbrowsers first, because otherwise will...

[Doctor Nick]

So, after much wrangling of tarballs and gnashing of teeth, I've finally got a ppa set up for:

1. LLVM dailies
2. LibCLC dailies...

[Doctor Nick]

Oibaf has very kindly updated his repository to include OpenCL support, all you have to do is install libopencl1-mesa....

[Doctor Nick]

Ok, that's reasonable. Still, I think I'd like to see an llvm daily repo for the mesa drivers, since OpenCL support is going to continue to evolve rapidly...

[Doctor Nick]

Do you think it would be possible to make a branch with mesa, libclc, etc. compiled with the llvm-3.5 dailies? Possibly Trusty? OpenCL support in Gallium...

[Doctor Nick]

Woop! Yes, I just installed it and ran the libclc and pyrit selftests, everything seems to be working fine. Thank you!

Yeah, I had to edit...

[Doctor Nick]

I was testing out the mesa AMD OpenCL drivers with pyrit benchmarks, and I was surprised by the performance gains vs the proprietary AMD drivers: 20-30%!...
