[Starpu-devel] SOCL and ICD

[Nathalie Furmento <nathalie.furmento@labri.fr>]

All,

SOCL uses now ICD to enable multiple OpenCL implementations. For
reasons I cannot explain (ask Sylvain if you want more details), it
only works with the ICD implementation developed in Grenoble
(https://forge.imag.fr/projects/ocl-icd/).

The problem is how we make sure that implementation is installed on
the machine when running SOCL. Is there a way to detect the ICD
implementation installed on the machine is that specific one? (and
depending on the result, enable or disable SOCL).

A solution would be to compile OCL when we compile StarPU. OCL's
sources are available from a GIT repository (i do not know it that can
be easily integrated with StarPU's subversion server --- is there a
similar solution to svn:externals for git?). The license is BSD-2.

Any comments are welcomed.

Cheers,

Nathalie
