OpenCL 1.1 for nvidia GPUs

Mark C
Hey,

Found this on the nvidia OpenCL site today and I just thought that it might be of interest.
 OpenCL v1.1 support is included in publicly available NVIDIA drivers version 280.13 or later on the driver download page.
Source

The drivers are beta and personally I haven't tried them yet. Also the release notes don't mention anything about OpenCL. I was pretty disappointed when I found out that nvidia didn't have OpenCL 1.1 support but I'm feeling a little better about it now.

Great work with this site and libs, by the way, it's a massive source of info for beginners like myself. Keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Mark

Hello Mark,

yes this are good news - all major vendors supporting now OpenCL 1.1.
However I saw a few regressions in the GL-CL interoperability area. For
example i did not manage to share buffers between an AMD or Intel CL
(CPU) and a NV GL (GPU) context. Lets hope this is only a bug.

regards,
michael
