We work with only OpenCL 1.1 support.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The problem of verifying that OpenCL 1.1 support works was always that
drivers that are stuck on 1.1 tend to be so outdated that they are just
broken and fail for others reasons.

However, I'm happy to report that Mesa 18.0.3 together with the open
source amdgpu drivers, which only claim OpenCL 1.1 support, finally
work correctly with Leela Zero. On a Polaris based card, they even
seem faster than the proprietary AMDGPU-PRO drivers.

And this confirms that only OpenCL 1.1 is required.

* An OpenCL capable device, preferably a very, very fast GPU, with recent
drivers is strongly recommended (OpenCL 1.2 support should be enough,
even OpenCL 1.1 might work). If you do not have a GPU, modify config.h in the
source and remove the line that says "#define USE_OPENCL".
