The SPIR-V OpenCL profile is suitable, the Vulkan one is much less suitable. (you can’t even transpile OpenCL C 1.2 to it fully, with quite heavily limited pointers…) Metal has the best GPGPU story of the graphics APIs, with D3D12 coming second after that. Both at least can have OpenCL C transpiled without catches to them… Microsoft is writing CLon12 on that front: https://github.com/microsoft/OpenCLOn12
In A Review of Shader Languages
lmeyerov·Jan 22, 2022
Edit: Looks like OpenCL in WSL2 is still very much TBD -- https://github.com/microsoft/OpenCLOn12/issues/32 --- Interesting, thanks: * OpenCL 1.2 -> DX12 coverage seems to be passing the repo's tests * Unclear what's left for either a manual build or an automatic/upstreamed mesa install (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx-heart-linux/). We saw the priority examples for the project during announce was ARM/mobile (2020), so still curious...
In WSL with CUDA support
my123·Jan 22, 2022
> OpenCL does not work. There's some bits about intel [& amd] GPUs, but nada on nvidia This is planned to be fixed. WSL2’s GPU support currently doesn’t provide a path to provide an alternate OpenCL loader ICD location. (And not for OpenGL either) Microsoft is developing CLon12 at https://github.com/microsoft/OpenCLOn12 as the option to provide OpenCL out of the box.
