We (CodeSourcery) have been talking to our commercial partners about implementing OpenCL in GCC and trying to develop/assess the level of interest. As others have stated, our theory of operation here would be to have the compiler depend on a library API that could be implemented for GPUs or for ordinary multi-core CPUs. (Just as the libgomp API could be provided to the compiler without depending on POSIX threads.) Certainly, if there are others on this list interested in working on this, we'd be interested in talking to them. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713
