Title: Re: OpenCL CPU miner for Scrypt Post by: tytanick on September 25, 2013, 11:28:50 PM if i am correct, openCL is extension that only works on gpu, .
cpu dont need that extension because it nativly supports all operations. if you want gpu to make calculations, then you will eed openCL :) so cpu and openCL ? wtf ... nooo :) Title: Re: OpenCL CPU miner for Scrypt Post by: atavacron on September 26, 2013, 12:24:38 AM If I understand Intel correctly it does appear that you can run OpenCL on Intel® Core™ Processors. It might be an interesting project but I wouldn't bet on it beating a GPU, that is unless you had a server farm and a wad of cash for power.

Also a GPU will always be faster, unless you have something like a Xeon Phi.Title: Re: OpenCL CPU miner for Scrypt Post by: 3gghead on December 15, 2013, 02:33:21 AM There's no reason to force a choice between CPU and GPU and opencl is likely the best choice for scheduling and partitioning the work. A couple CPU cores could be used to pre-initialize the initial work state before being queued for hashing in a GPU command queue. If it's a CPU-only kernel, you can still make use of calls to inline-assembly in the host program for the opencl kernel(s) if you want (and can do better than SSEx optimization). Have fun with it.
