LSM made me a cherry pie with ice cream
for Dad’s day, and I ate a big piece of it.
That was the most I have eaten at one time
for over 11 months.

And that's a good sign, isn't it?

Good evening all....

CPU utilization while running GPU OpenCL applications is a problem for NVidia as well as Intel. The application uses only asynchronous kernel and memory copy functions but the driver "overrides" and decides to block anyway. One "hack" suggested by NVidia was to create allocate a large number of command queues so that the driver would think it should use the actual asynchronous calls, but that has not worked for me. If it wasn't driver related, then why would the same application work fine on AMD GPUs? So, write your local Intel developer and ask them why their driver needs CPU time to run asynchronous OpenCL kernels. You would think it would work properly with NVidia GPUs since OpenCL came from them. Nope. NVidia can't even follow their own specs properly. And it they can't, why should Intel?

This is lovely news to hear :-)
