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. -- Marecki
