Hi, all

I am freshman for open cl. Now, I have one idea about to use open cl to caculate something on kernel mode os driver. I can link the opencl.lib (x86 or x86_64) into our driver image successfully but it will causes os blue screen when to load this driver image.

I don't know what happens and what I did is just to call clGetPlaformIDs function in our driver image. But, I can't make sure it is killer or not due to I can't set any breakpoint in our driver (it seems the driver image didn't load). But, everything is fine if NOT to call clGetPlaformIDs( ).

My question is

(1)Is it possible to use the open cl in any kernel mode os driver? If the answer is YES, how to do? Or, anything I missed in my step?

Thanks a lot.

adamhsu,

I am not able to understand what you are trying to do?

What do you mean by kernel mode os driver?

[adamhsu]

oh~ sorry

What I mean is whether I can use the OpenCL API directly in some kernel drivers like RAID driver. My purpose is to speed up the time to caculate something.

Thanks.

adamhsu,

I appears to me that you are trying to run some service from kernel space of the system.  And you are trying to link a userspace library (OpenCL.lib).

But according to this link you cannot include any userspace library in the kernel source.

Is this what you are looking for?
