Hello,
I tried searching the archives manually but this is a bit time consuming, I also tried the search function on the website but it seems broken.
Anyway my question is the following:
Are there any plans to add OpenCL/CUDA/PTX support for the future ?
With this question I do not mean DLL api/loading support... but pascal language/compiler to ptx assembler support.
PTX is the instruction set for OpenCL/CUDA, especially CUDA (for nvidia cards and perhaps other manufacturers in future).
PTX seems to have become mature enough with the basic functionalities such as integer and floating support and branching/looping support.
So I envision a free pascal compiler which can be simply used to compile pascal code to PTX code (assembler/intermediate code).
This PTX code (kernels?) can then be used by pascal applications to feed it to the CUDA/OpenCL dll's/api's for execution.
So in short this would make pascal an alternative language for writing OpenCL/CUDA kernels.
Bye,
Skybuck.
