Title: OpenCL with intel cpu possible ? Post by: khal on March 03, 2011, 09:29:47 AM I've recently discovered this SDK for OpenCL with intel plateforms (windows only for now...) :
- http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-opencl-sdk/ It requires SSE 4.1, so, only cpu is used for now (yes, opencl is designed to be used by both cpu and gpu). FAQ extract : "Will the Intel OpenCL SDK support Intel integrated graphics (processor graphics), and when? Intel will support OpenCL on future tools and platforms.Intel is evaluating when and where OpenCL support will intercept our products, including processor graphics, but no announcement has been made." Any volonteer to add this in existing miners, if possible ? Will it improve speed compared to the SSE2 asm version ? Title: Re: OpenCL with intel cpu possible ?

I'm waiting for the linux adaptation :pTitle: Re: OpenCL with intel cpu possible ? Post by: niooron on March 03, 2011, 04:32:49 PM Shouldn't it run under Wine? I don't have any Linux machines right now, but the only thing that program does is crunch numbers and send results. Wine even runs full Directx10 games, can you test it?

You can try copying the native dlls and configuring wine to use them. Title: Re: OpenCL with intel cpu possible ? Post by: FnuGk on March 06, 2011, 04:02:02 PM would running it through wine not work out to be rather slow?
Title: Re: OpenCL with intel cpu possible ? Post by: khal on March 06, 2011, 04:56:21 PM I trid with some native windows dll, but nothing better (i don't have a windows installation).
I finally switched to this sse2 miner (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3486.msg59303#msg59303) under linux, which works really fast :p ps : wine is not an emulator, so, if it works, the loss of speed is not really significant. |
