Hi! The title sums my question up.

Is it possible?

Right now I'm using the nVidia drivers for OpenCL, but want the benefits of the AMD APP SDK too.

To elaborate, I suppose I want two platforms, one with the nVidia GPU as a device and the other with the AMD CPU as a device.

Will the nVidia-supplied /usr/lib/libOpenGL.so libOpenCL.so be overwritten if I try to install the AMD APP SDK?

Any ideas/experiences regarding this?

yes it is possible. AMD APP SDK doesn't contain an libOpenGL.so. i am not entirely sure about libOpenCL.so but they are compatible so it doesn't matter which one is in use.

Thanks!

Wrong of me, I meant libOpenCL.so.

I might install the SDK this weekend and hope I don't break anything.
