Does AMD OpenCL support remote desktop in Windows for GPU code?

I'm starting up a Windows based OpenCl application -- but the machine will need remote access to dev/test/integrate the code.

Can I execute OpenCL applications against an AMD GPU when I am accessing a Windows machine using Remote Desktop?

Thanks,

Hi Joe,

The same mechanism to get remote login execution applies from: http://developer.amd.com/support/KnowledgeBase/Lists/KnowledgeBase/DispForm.aspx?ID=19

Alas, I am in an environment where only Remote Desktop is allowed and that can't be changed .

What would you recommend to enable OpenCL execution against AMD GPUs in such an environment?

Thanks,

The Windows RDP service takes over as the display driver for your system, which makes it impossible for CAL to access the GPU as it has no access to ATI display driver. You need a remote desktop utility which does not replace itself as the display driver, like VNC.
