According to a blog entry (http://developer.amd.com/community/blog/2014/12/16/whats-new-amd-codexl-1-6/) the 1.6 version of CodeXL supports OpenCL 2.0 API and kernels. However, when I compile a kernel using the appropriate option then the message appears "Building OpenCL 2.0 kernels is not supported" (see screenshot). If I dont use this option (-cl-std=CL2.0) then the kernels are compiled as OpenCL 1.2.

What's the problem here? Does CodeXL 1.6 actually support OpenCL 2.0 kernels?

Hi ekondis,

CodeXL 1.6 supports:

• GPU Profiling of OpenCL 2.0 API and kernels
• GPU Debugging of OpenCL 2.0 API

Offline build and analysis of OpenCL 2.0 kernels is not included in CodeXL 1.6.

Hi dorono,

How do you recommend debugging OpenCL 2.0 if CodeXL can't do it?  Is there a BETA version of CodeXL that can debug OpenCL 2.0? I'm getting behind on a project to port from CUDA to OpenCL 2.0
