Question

I have a laptop running Ubuntu, it has a 32 Bits processor (Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 2.00GHz) and a graphics card Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller. I would like to know if I can program with OpenCL in this system. If yes what do I need?

I have been searching Google, ofcourse. I found this page:

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-intel-opencl-sdk/

But I only found a RPM package in the Linux section. I can install it in my Ubuntu system, but the package is for a 64 bit system.

Answer 1

Unfortunately you will need the following distributions:

Novell* SUSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 1 (64-bit version)
Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 6 (64-bit version).

If you cannot change distribution, an alternate way is to use NVIDIA’s CUDA SDK in emulation mode. It will be slow, but will work.
