Hi, just chipping into the conversation for a detail Re: OpenCL On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 1:21 PM, Shawn Webb <shawn.webb@hardenedbsd.org> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 07:00:15PM +0200, Jean-S??bastien P??dron wrote: >> Now about other related tasks: >> o A Mesa update will be committed Real Soon Now?.

Not would: is! :-) You can already use OpenCL on radeon and Intel GPUs (note, only single-precision for Intel, this is an upstream issue) or on CPU as fallback when using the mesa-next branch from the freebsd-graphics github. This does not require an update of the kernel compared to CURRENT (of course only supported GPUs work). There are some helper ports in the github as well (libraries, e.g.) if you write your own OpenCL software and I have a few more in my pipeline. I personally have an interest in excellent OpenCL support on FBSD. Getting back to building the i915 update. Johannes
