In the release notes for APP SDK 2.5 it says
"XP support is deprecated, and will no longer be supported in SDK 2.6"
Is this deprecating the use of
* the APP SDKonly
* the OpenCL runtime
* both APP SDK and runtime
on Windows XP

APP SDK which means OpenCL runtime also.
So does this also imply that OpenCL will be removed from the Windows XP Catalyst driver as well, in the APP ADK 2.6 time frame?
IMHO in WinXP version stay SDK at 2.5. they dont remove it.

Starting with SDK 2.6 XP will no longer be a supported OS
XP is dead. Start to assume it.
If I would have known of this issue with Windows XP and the SDK/OpenCL, I would have never bought this stupid card. Please tell me there's a fix for this somewhere. Who on earth makes drivers that aren't compatible with Windows XP??!??!? I even checked that there's adequate XP driver support for drivers but this SDK/APP/OpenCL stuff is apparently different. *sigh*.
bc7,
you can still use SDK 2.6 on XP OS. Can you try that.
If anyone searching for the latest opencl/cal capable driver for XP: That is Catalyst 11.12.
That also means no GCN chips have XP gpgpu support.
12.1 also works ... after 12.2 AMD removed
- aticalrt.dll
- aticaldd.dll
- aticalcl.dll
so no CAL and GPU-Part of OpenCL will work.
Maybe you could try AMD Catalyst 13.x with additional atical files from Catalyst 11.2 or 12.1.
OpenCL Runtime 2.4 and maybe 2.5 should work with the ATI CAL Files but Im not sure about Catalyst 13.X with CAL from 12.1 ....
Oh I was stopped trying after 12.4, and skipped right to 11.12. Thx for more accurate info.
