Hi,
while experimenting with the new virtual packages, I started to rewrite
the package descriptions, comments welcome.
New is the second paragraph in vendor-libopencl1 that talks about what an
ICD Loader is and what else is needed to run OpenCL applications.
Some minor rewording in the remaining parts.
Package: nvidia-opencl-icd
Description: NVIDIA OpenCL ICD
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a multivendor open standard for
general-purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous systems that include
CPUs, GPUs and other processors.
.
This package provides the NVIDIA installable client driver (ICD) for OpenCL
which supports NVIDIA GPUs.
Package: nvidia-libopencl1
Description: NVIDIA OpenCL ICD Loader library
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a multivendor open standard for
general-purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous systems that include
CPUs, GPUs and other processors.
.
The OpenCL installable client driver loader (ICD Loader) acts as a dispatcher
between an OpenCL application and one (or more) installable client drivers
(ICD) that can be from any vendor. At least one ICD (and the corresponding
hardware) is required to run OpenCL applications.
.
This package contains the ICD Loader library provided by NVIDIA. This library
supports OpenCL 1.1 only.
Package: amd-opencl-icd
Description: AMD OpenCL ICD${fglrx:VariantDescSuffix}
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a multivendor open standard for
general-purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous systems that include
CPUs, GPUs and other processors.
.
.
This package provides the AMD installable client driver (ICD) for OpenCL
which supports AMD GPUs (requires the fglrx driver) as well as CPUs (from
any vendor, no driver required).
.
${fglrx:Models}
