opencl-capsviewer

Version 1.30 of the OpenCL Hardware Capability Viewer is now available for all supported platforms (Windows, Linux, Android). This is mostly a maintenance update to ensure compatibility with recent and future Android versions. Aside from other minor changes and fixes, this version also improves how OpenCL is accessed on Android devices. Some newer devices, like Google’s Pixel phones, no longer publicly expose OpenCL support, so apps that want to use the API need to explicitly load the library. [Read More]

Comparing devices - Current state A core feature of all my GPU databases (Vulkan, OpenCL, OpenGL and OpenGL ES) is the possibility to compare reports. This lets you quickly see how the implementations differ, e.g. regarding extension support or api limits. For this you check the reports (or devices) to compare from the currently visible list: And after pressing “compare” you’ll get a side-by-side comparison of the selected reports: But the current implementation has an annoying limitation that has been bothering users (and me) for years now: You can only ever select reports (to compare) from the currently visible list of reports.

New OpenCL Hardware Database 2022 starts off with a new addition to my GPU Hardware databases at GPUInfo.org! With the databases for Vulkan, OpenGL and OpenGL ES being widely used by many graphics developers, ISVs and IHVs, members of the OpenCL working group approached me for a similar database for OpenCL. OpenCL is a mature and widely adopted api for parallel programming of heterogeneous systems, available on all kinds of platforms. [Read More]
