OpenCL on Samsung Chromebook Mali-T604 (Chrubuntu OR ChromeOS)

Question: How to get OpenCL drivers installed on either Chrubuntu or ChromeOS?

Background: I am able to successfully compile and execute OpenCL code  (using Chrubuntu on sdcard + Mali SDK + Code::Blocks) but every  example/sample and simple 'hello, world' app returns an error when using  clGetPlatformIDs. The code compiles and runs just fine, but I'm not  getting a CL_SUCCESS so I am thinking this must mean there is no proper  driver.

For example,

cl_int err;
cl_platform_is platform_id = NULL;
err = clGetPlatformIDs(1,&platform_id,NULL);

returns 2123707424

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Todd Thompson

    I do not understand why this device is promoted as a developer device, it seems there is no will to release any drivers supporting such a claim!.

    Very disappointing.



    Pete,

    It looks like bearon @ beyond3d forum (http://forum.beyond3...ead.php?t=63071) has found OpenCL drivers for Nexus 10.

    It's created a lot of excitement (http://www.anandtech...exus-10-devices) but I don't know if I can leverage this for Samsung Chromebook.

    I'm not a compiler engineer and I'm just learning OpenCL so I'm hoping this finding will either provide direct support or lead the way for ARM+Google+Samsung to provide the necessary drivers for ChromeOS and/or Chrubuntu.

    It makes the mobility of the Chromebook very appealing if development, testing and debugging is available on one platform.  I need to compile and test prior to execution on very large distributed+parallel systems.

    Thanks for reply,

    Todd
