Subject: [gentoo-dev] Changing the order of ICD loaders in virtual/opencl
Date: Fri, 14 May 2021 16:53:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45d5abf1-3e46-38b6-cfe7-c78a154083b3@gentoo.org> (raw)

Dear all,

Seeing as it has been around year since we added 
dev-libs/opencl-icd-loader to the tree, I wonder whether it would 
perhaps make sense to make it, rather than dev-libs/ocl-icd, the 
preferred OpenCL ICD loader for new installations.

Advantages (that I can see) of opencl-icd-loader:
  - official OpenCL ICD loader of the Khronos Group
  - as a consequence of the above, is kept in good sync with official 
Khronos Group OpenCL headers (dev-util/opencl-headers)
  - pure C with a fairly minimal set of dependencies, in particular does 
not does not bdepend on Ruby

Advantages (that I can see) of ocl-icd:
  - has been around for longer

WDYT?

PS. Thank you ionen for reminding me of this.
