OpenCL Benchmark Apps

[cristipurdel]

Since gpu caps viewer shows 3 CL platforms on my computer (intel + nvidia, + amd sdk ), I'm thinking that it might be useful if someone makes an app that runs on each platform, compares the results, and returns them here.
The same thing the guys from folding did, so to compare the same results.
Maybe it could be useful for alpha/beta testers to run their code (best case scenario it's a unified opencl app ).
Anyway, it's just a thought.

I tested the last version of gpu caps 1.10.0 and it's really nice.
I ran CL GPU - 4D Quaternion Julia Set on my 580 (quadro fx ) and I got smth like 10-14 fps
When I ran ran CL CPU - 4D Quaternion Julia Set on my xeon 5420, I got 5-7 fps for both of intel and ati stream platforms.
Sweet ...

Performance-oriented apps will use different kernels for different hardware making direct comparison impossible.
It's already the case with SETI MultiBeam.
If you want to run just the same OpenCL code on different hardware - try AstroPulse.
