Rom Walton (BOINC developer) has posted this to the boinc_alpha mailing list:
Howdy Folks,
We are working on extending BOINC's accelerator support to include
OpenCL devices. In order to complete this task we need to get a large
cross section of capability reports from a tool called clinfo.exe.
I've uploaded a copy of the 32-bit Windows version to:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/clinfo.zip
We are interested in the following scenarios:
* Multi-GPU (same model)
* Multi-GPU (different models)
* Multi-GPU (different vendor)
* Any Non-GPU OpenCL device.
If you can, would you download clinfo.zip and uncompress the file in a
temp directory and then issue the following command from a command
prompt:
C:\Temp> clinfo > clinfo.log
Please email me back the clinfo.log file so we can figure out how best
to approach the OpenCL enumeration process.
Thanks in advance.
----- Rom
That address would be romw 'at' romwnet 'dot' org
I imagine we should be able to help him out?
Addendum from Rom:
If you get an error that OpenCL.dll cannot be found, all that means is
your driver for your GPU is too old to support OpenCL.
I would not recommend upgrading to the latest drivers just for this test.

That version of Clinfo doesn't work with some multi vendor hosts like mine, see this thread:
ATI OpenCL MultiBeam app (rev177) (http://lunatics.kwsn.net/12-gpu-crunching/ati-opencl-multibeam-application-released-rev177.0.html)
Raistmer posted a modded version in this post (http://lunatics.kwsn.net/12-gpu-crunching/ati-opencl-multibeam-application-released-rev177.msg35869.html#msg35869)
CLinfo.log emailed to Rom for my E8500/GTX460/HD5770 host

I just emailed Rom a copy of the modified CLInfo file
as his one crashed out on my nvidia card

My Norton Antivirus allowed Rom's version to run, but deleted Raistmer's as a security risk.
Purely a precautionary move from Norton's 'Sonar' heuristic scanner, but people might like to be aware. Full Sonar report below.

It would be interesting to know if my build infected indeed or not.

I ran it through Comodo and Kaspersky a couple of times and had no warnings
Comodo have had the file submitted to them and found no issues with the file when I sent it over for them to check
Could just be a false-positive but better safe than sorry :D
-
I just performed the test and emailed the results. There were no problems on my end.

I've run it through www.virustotal.com - clean bill of health, no problems found.

I've updated my E8500/GTX460/HD5770 host to 270.51 and Cat 11.3, now reporting Cuda 4.0.1 and AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-rc1 (595.9) and sent Rom another attachment,

I have sent in reports on both of my machines, currently downloading the 270.51 beta drivers for the 460.
-
sent ... Number of platforms: 3 :P
-
sent info from my host as well.

I'm just testing my new build, a i7 2600 and 2 ATI EAH5870's, running WIN7 x64, BOINC
6.10.60 (64BIT)
Running 8 SETI WU's and 2 MW tasks. Testing if temps and fans are somewhat balanced ::)
In between, gonna try the MB app. and AP app, worked before. BOINC 6.12.xx better for ATI
cards?
It has an impressive Whetstone Benchmark, 3350MFLOPS and 11,000 Integers, per core.
And I only 'looked at BIOS settings[/i]' and didn't even touch any upSPEED button.
It has it's 'own' Turbo Mode, from 3.4GHZ to 3.8GHz.. Wonder what ............ ;)
