Is open source OpenCL even a thing yet because it always seems to be just around the corner. Vulkan is supposed to do both render and compute from one API anyway.

Mr Dog posted:Is open source OpenCL even a thing yet because it always seems to be just around the corner. The OpenCL driver for Intel GPUs (called "Beignet" for whatever reason) is fully open source and works pretty well. AMD is also working on opening as much as their driver as possible. Well, actually writing a new one that seems to be called amdgpu... but also a headless one that I think is called ROCK, for Radeon Open Compute Kernel, but AMDs entire GPU strategy is covered in a byzantine layer of acronyms that I have yet to fully understand.

I don't understand what OpenCL on Intel GPUs is good for. Bitcoin randroids do GPGPU on AMD hardware and grownups do GPGPU on nVidia. Nobody does GPGPU on Intel hardware, it's what, a 2x improvement over just using the all CPU cores, if that? Video games might want to do compute offload in addition to rendering, but gaming on Linux is either indie poo poo or it's a de-facto nVidia monopoly. On Windows you'd probably use DirectCompute or whatever since Khronos APIs haven't been a going concern in Windows gaming since before Khronos was even incorporated. Even then it was basically Carmack's poo poo using OpenGL vs literally everybody else using D3D.

Speaking of Carmack, remember back when he said Direct3D 5 sucked and he was only going to use OpenGL from now on? His brief technical justifications from 1999 showed D3D 5 operating in a manner crudely equivalent to Vulkan's shiny new hotness of 2016: you construct a command buffer, upload it to the GPU, then execute it. Which is apparently omg so cumbersome. His sole technical complaint was "The driver knows better than me how big a command buffer I should be using", which is complete loving nonsense because it is the game engine itself that knows where one piece of geometry ends and another begins. Obviously, 3D accelerators of that era were just fixed-function vertex interpolators and texture samplers with none of the shader pipeline fun times of a modern GPU, but it still seems like the D3D5 style was the correct architecture. At least in retrospect. Everything old is new again! Also he showed OpenGL code that used the old glBegin/glEnd and display list style which was a complete architectural dead end (even when it was written: texture uploads in display lists were a total non-starter so OpenGL already had texture objects, quickly followed by vertex buffer objects and a wholesale sea change in OpenGL's entire way of doing things). But guys, I can draw a triangle in 10 lines as opposed to 100! In my commercial-grade game engine consisting of 100+ KLOC of code. Because that's something that loving matters. Maybe the libertarian wunderkind ... might have got it wrong.

Mr Dog posted:Speaking of Carmack, remember back when he said Direct3D 5 sucked and he was only going to use OpenGL from now on? This was an era where GPUs were slow and CPUs were fast and we weren't hitting the major memory bandwidth limitations of today. Texture uploads never stalled your game because you were trying hard to simply hit 60fps to begin with. On-GPU vertex processing was still in its infancy. Per-pixel shading, the *basis* of modern GPUs, wouldn't exist until the GeForce 256 and D3D7. So OpenGL was correct. D3D5 was garbage on the machines that it was on at the time. It couldn't properly schedule command buffers. It didn't max out your fill rate. Drivers knew a lot more about their crazy architectures. We weren't sure about shader execution units and several companies played around with pipelined models which is why glTexEnv had driver-defined limits on the number of texture environments you could have. If you squint, the models look similar. In context, with all the added details, they are radically different.

Mr Dog posted:I don't understand what OpenCL on Intel GPUs is good for. How is a 2x improvement over all CPU cores not a good performance increase? You might as well ask why it's worth using parallel code at all. It's even likely that this ratio will improve more in the future, as GPU designs are easier to scale up. I do GPGPU at work, and even though I mostly deploy on AMD and NVIDIA hardware, it is still very useful to have fast OpenCL on my laptop, which only has an Intel GPU. The major problem with Intel GPUs is that they have tiny memory - something like 128MiB on die. It will transparently swap to main memory I think, but come on now. Of course, that does not solve the problem that manually using the OpenCL API is total rear end.
