NVIDIA has released an OpenCL driver to developers participating in its OpenCL Early Access Program. We are providing this release to solicit early feedback in advance of a beta release, which we will make available to all registered developers in the coming months.
To enroll in the registered developer program, please visit here. For more info on OpenCL, please visit our OpenCL information page.
Please keep in mind that the current release of our OpenCL driver is currently under NDA and should not be discussed in public forums (including this one).
How works the registered developer program?
I fill the form and has appearead one message that now I don’t remember, but I believe it was someone like form sucessfully submitted
However I don’t fill all fields correctly, for example I don’t wanna give my real phone number.
Will I receive an feedback e-mail saying if everything is OK, or if itsn’t, why it is not?
I’ve already registered as a CUDA developer so I have access to nvdeveloper site. Do I need to fill out the form again to get access to OpenCL early release? Thanks!
You don’t need to register again. If you’re a CUDA registered developer, you will automatically be considered for the OpenCL registered developer program.
I’m a registered developper but I don’t see any OpenCL download links when I log in nvdevelopper site :( . Is there something I should do ? or just wait for update ?
I would like to know what the criteria were to discriminate among register members to qualify for testing the OpenCL SDK.
I’d like to think that if a developer was good enough to be approved to test CUDA, it might be also good for OpenCL. What is different?
I was a register user of CUDA but for some reason I found about the OpenCL driver on the net not from Nvidia.
Keep in mind that this release is an alpha, so we’re keeping access more limited than we do with our CUDA betas. The recent CUDA betas have all been fairly stable and almost production ready–this is obviously rougher around the edges. We’ve released it to a group of early adopters (who we feel confident will actually use it, file bug reports, etc), and we’re intentionally keeping it small compared to things like the CUDA 2.2 beta for the moment so we can keep in constant contact with everyone in the program to prevent problems from going unnoticed on our end or unreported on the other.
As we approach beta, we’ll open it up to all registered developers, and you’ll definitely get an email and see notifications here once that happens.
