There might be just one right now, but OpenCL standard says many different implementation should be able to install side by side, and the choice between them is taken by the ICD loader.
OKKKKKKK after talking with Lukas i now have an idea about what you guys talking about. Right now, what can i do is to take care about nvidia's opencl implementation and loader. What I understand from Nicolas is that we can use any loader, either form nvidia, ati, intel. It will work with any implementation. My propose is to split opencl loader and implementation out from nvidia-utils like this: libcl - containing /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so*. This can be easy replaced with an opensource loader once is available in mesa or other that is better. libcl-nvidia - depending on libcl containing /etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd and libcuda.so and maybe nvidia module(need confirmation) for you guys: libcl-intel - depending on libcl libcl-amd - idem How does it sound for you? -- Ionuț
