Intel Releases New OpenCL Implementation for GNU/Linux

Posted by Unknown on from the do-your-own-thing dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Intel has released its first version of Beignet, an open-source OpenCL run-time and LLVM back-end for Linux that uses LLVM/Clang and is compatible with Ivy Bridge processors. Right now there's partial support for OpenCL 1.0 and 1.1 along with other basic functionality." This is not using Gallium 3D, and at least David Arlie thinks it should not be an fd.o project because it duplicates functionality already present in Mesa.

    Intel = bad, AMD = good. OpenCL = apple = bad, Linux = good. LLVM = apple = bad. Oh what spin should the /. groupthink put on this?
