OpenCL2.0 not available on Radeon R7 240

Hi,

I'd like to develop OpenCL2.0 program.

PFA, the result of clinfo.exe showing OpenCL version is CL1.2 not CL2.0.

    Name: Oland

    Vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

    Device OpenCL C version: OpenCL C 1.2

    Driver version: 1642.5 (VM)

    Profile: FULL_PROFILE

    Version: OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1642.5)

My system consists of :

  - PC: HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF

  - OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

  - GPU board: SAPPHIRE R7 240 2G DDR3 PCI-E DUAL HDMI LP WITH BOOST

               Driver Version: 14.501.1003.0

  - SDK: AMD OpenCL APP SDK 3.0-0-Beta

The detail information about H/W can be confiremed in the attached document (HWInfo.htm).

According to http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/OpenCL2-Driver.aspx,

R7 200 series has the capability of OpenCL2.0.

I'd like to know why cl2.0 is not available on my system.

Thank you in advance.

I have definitely confirmed that the Radeon R7 240 does NOT support OpenCL 2.0.

OpenCL 2.0 requires GCN 1.1. The R7 260 is GCN 1.1

The wikipedia page linked below has details of which GCN architecture is present on which board. Go to the page and search for "R7 240", and you'll find the line entry for that board.

I will continue to work to get the inaccurate information fixed on the support page.
