hey, is it possible ? I got a Core2Duo and it says it were OpenCL capable. But i never crunshed such a workunit, what´s wrong, or that did i wrong ? And it were no iGPU unit... Greetings ok, i discovered something, on Collatz project they crunsh opencl with SSE4.1 functions, but will a Core2Duo do it ? Think not. |

hey, is it possible ? I got a Core2Duo and it says it were OpenCL capable. OpenCL is a computer language and an interface. It is one method to make any device that has an OpenCL compiler to do calculations. I think that using SS(S)Ex.y or AVX(n) if available and hand tuned applications is much more productive on a device that has no real GPU (massively parallel SIMD).

hey, is it possible ? I got a Core2Duo and it says it were OpenCL capable. Someone would have to make a SETI@home OpenCL CPU application in order for you to process a task that way. I would guess Collatz chose to make their CPU apps in OpenCL to simplify writing them or the author is most familiar with that language. All Intel Core Solo, Duo, 2 Duo, & 2 Quad CPUs are said to support OpenCL. I think Intel stated it along the lines of "All CPUs with SSE 4.1 or higher support OpenCL".
