OpenCL SDK for R600

How does the SDK work with the R600/R700 (Radeon 3870x2)

I have downloaded the OpenCL sdk, and have built the examples.   How do you know if you are use the GPU or the CPU in the sdk examples?

I have a Fedora 11 box, with a 3870x2 GPU pair.

The current SDK is a CPU only release, GPU implementation is not out yet.

GPU implementation is expected to be released soon.

Oh, you mean I have to wait?

I hate it when that happens.

More along those lines, are there any examples where I can directly access the GPU from Linux?

Maybe through a asm or C example that adds 3 numbers together or something simple.

Just curious.

hackus,
To program the GPU from linux, you need to use CAL/Brook+ from SDK1.4.
