Earlier quoted context omitted.

AFAIK only OpenCL 1.1 (or 1.2?) is available on nvidia though, not OpenCL 2.0 or 2.1. So, unfortunately, if you want to support nvidia (eg AWS GPU instances), then OpenCL may not be the best choice :-(

Oh, I didn't realize it was that bad. Looks like they barely implemented 1.2 and haven't announced support for 2.x at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL#Timeline_of_vendor_impl...

If someone made a decent OpenCL 2.X to PTX compiler I think they would do pretty well.

This looks very interesting. Any way we can download some code to test this out or is this still unpublished code?

The work we describe here is our research prototype, I'm currently working towards making the code base more stable before open sourcing. The plan is to release the code over the coming months.

Feel free to track our progress here - https://github.com/aardvark-systems/tornado
