Portable Computing Language Changelog
What's new in Portable Computing Language 0.10
Dec 9, 2014- Highlights:
- Support for LLVM/Clang 3.5
- Support for building using CMake (experimental with known issues).
- Bugfixes:
- TCE: kernel building was broken when running pocl from install location
- thread-safety (as required since OpenCL 1.1) improved
- Kernel compiler:
- Final code generation now done via LLVM API calls instead of calling the llc binary.
- Sensible linking of functions from the monolithic kernel built-in
- library. Major compilation speedup for smaller kernels.
- OpenCL C Builtin Function Implementations:
- Improved support for halfN functions.
- ilogb and ldexp available with vecmathlib
- OpenCL Runtime/Platform API support:
- Implement clCreateKernelsInProgram()
- OpenCL-C shuffle() and shuffle2() implementation added
- Device probing modified to allow for device driver to detect device during runtime. POCL_DEVICES still supported.
- Checks in clSetKernelArgs() for argument validity
- Checks in clEnqueueNDRange() for arguments to be all set
- Implement clGetKernelArgInfo()
- clEnqueueCopyImage()
- Misc:
- ViennaCL testsuite updated to 1.5.1
New in Portable Computing Language 0.9 (Jan 29, 2014)
- improved host/target CPU detection and targeted code generation
- kernel compiler implemented by default by LLVM API calls instead of scripts
- improvements to the handling of CL Images
- several kernel compiler improvements
