JOCL using a CELL device (accellarator)

suleman
Hi,

I want to run a JOCL application using a CELL processes (Accellarator based OpenCL device). What changes i will require  in the program which works fine on GPU based OpenCL device?
 Will there be some more changes in-addition to the OpenCL device type to "accellarator" (where the context is created) ?

thanks

  I haven't tested with IBM divers yet since i don't have the hardware
but since they claim to be CL 1.1 compatible you won't have to change
anything.

However it is well known that the same program running on GPUs often
would not perform optimal on CPUs, so you may have to do specific
optimizations for Cell to be able to run fast-as-possible. (vendor
programming guides etc.)
