Hi,

1) are you actively working on OpenCL for Haiku?

Off and on, I played with trying to get the OpenCL standardized headers
to function on Haiku.

2) if yes, how much is done now (some examples)?

Right now the headers can be put into the Haiku source tree and
sample OpenCL applications can be compiled against them (included on github)

3) if yes, how much remains before a minimal subset is usable?

All i've done thus far is make the OpenCL headers work under Haiku with some
OS defines.

The actual functions that fill out those headers (and do the work) need to be added.



How it works with OpenCL is:

http://www.khronos.org/opencl/ provides OpenCL headers which make the OpenCL "api"

each vendor (such as AMD, Intel, Nvidia, etc) release binary libraries that
implement the functions for their cards that OpenCL defines.

I haven't done much work besides the stuff above on it :)

Thanks!
