Basically, nvidia doesn't want to throw money on components that five FreeBSD people will use (and none of their corporate customers, I guess), but then of course, I could hardly speak for them. Just my observations while lurking on forums here and there.. So as far as I know, there is no way to run OpenCL natively on FreeBSD and probably won't be for a long time, unless someone big enough pushes them to (Solaris drivers too don't ship with OpenCL support). Still, FreeBSD driver currently installs - /compat/linux/usr/lib/libcuda.so.1 /compat/linux/usr/lib/libcuda.so.260.19.29 - so technically, Linux OpenCL programs *MIGHT* still work under compatibility layer if someone tried hard enough. Could you point me to some simple Linux OpenCL demos (binaries) that I coud try, for the sake of curiosity? m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account)
