Hi All,

Can anyone please point me to APP SDK 3.0 and OpenCL 2.0 driver source code.

Thanks in advance.

There is extensive OpenCL 2.0 example code in the APP SDK 3.0.

The APP SDK is here: http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/

Five blogs detailing OpenCL 2.0 features are listed in this topic: Open CL 2.0 Demystified - Fine Grain SVM

The OpenCL 2.0 support is in the Catalyst Omega driver, which is closed source. No source code.

Hello All ,

Is the kernel mode support for OpenCL is planned in future road map? If yes what is the tentative date? Also, if OpenCL is userspace only, then how do graphics drivers on Windows work with OpenCL on AMD systems?

Kindly elaborate on this.

Ameet

Hi Ameet,

At least I'm not aware of such future plan right now. If I get any such information, I'll definitely like to share with you.

if OpenCL is userspace only, then how do graphics drivers on Windows work with OpenCL on AMD systems?

Though I'm not an expert in this topic, however as I know, it is done through Widows kernel mode drivers (Kernel-Mode Driver Framework - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). KMD is installed along with Catalyst today.
