  • RT on ATI Cards (for the Developers)

    I know that ATI is a problematic platform...
    But i would like to use RT on ATI and can maybe give a hint for the developers.
    I tried both 32bit and 64bit on the following configuration

    V-Ray RT for Rhino 5 2.00.23938
    ATI Radeon HD 5850 with Catalyst 13.12 on Win7 64bit (i know a bit old )
    ATI Radeon FirePro M6000 with Mobility Driver 13.152.4 on Win8.1 64 bit (pretty recent on a Dell Precision M6700 )

    both crash at the same line of code

    Error Program build failure (-11) at line 1467 , in file ./src/opencl_main.cpp !!!

    It would be great if you could debug that and may give a hint on what's going wrong.

    Thanks a lot

    Hello.

    This error is general one for "error during compilation".

    We are still trying to support OpenCL.
    Usually we do verify that we have working and valid OpenCL code using one of the OpenCL implementations for the CPU (both AMD and Intel implementations for the CPU are working fine).

    Once we have that, there is no much we can do to make it run on the GPU. If you want you may try the CPU implementations too (this will verify that there is nothing major bad on our side; it happens from time to time for us to mess up something, but usually when it happens it is something small and is being fixed fast).
    Other than that we are still working with the guys from AMD and we are trying to make the code "friendlier" for the GPU. But there are still no news there.

      Thanks for the super-fast answer
      CPU always works
      Failed to compile OpenCL kernels, falling back to CPU code.

      I'll be patient
