fp64 on Mali T604

Note: This was originally posted on 21st August 2012 at http://forums.arm.com

First of all, congrats to ARM for submitting Mali T604 for OpenCL full profile conformance. I hope the tests are finished soon.
I was wondering about fp64 support on the T604. ARM has been quite vocal about T604 supporting fp64, but details (such as speed relative to fp32) have not been released. Any more details on how fp64 is implemented and what performance to expect?

fp64 will make it really useful for my project, which is related to GPGPU for scientific computing type workloads.

    Mali-T604hardware supports FP64 now, work is ongoing to implement the cl_khr_fp64extensions. Performance ratio between FP64 and FP32 maths is in line with otherindustry implementations


    Well, industry implementations vary between 1/24 of fp32 rate to 1/2 of fp32 rate, so not sure how to interpreter your statement. I guess I will just wait for the release of the official docs. :)
