Release testing of pocl 1.1

Release testing of pocl 1.1

Current blockers here

Detailed build instructions (with interesting build options) are here

Note: Building pocl with HSA support is a bit more complicated, see here

CUDA build instructions here

Short build & install & test guide:

• mkdir build; cd build; cmake <OPTIONS> <pocl-source-dir> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/YOUR/INST/PREFIX
• make -j<jobs>;
• ctest -j<jobs> -L internal to run the build tree pocl tests in parallel
• make install
• test your favourite OpenCL app against the installed libpocl.so

build for more thorough tests (tier1 minus AMDSDK3):

• mkdir build; cd build; cmake '-DENABLE_TESTSUITES=piglit;PyOpenCL;conformance' <OPTIONS> <pocl-source-dir> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/YOUR/INST/PREFIX
• make -j<jobs>
• make -j<jobs> prepare_examples
• ctest -j<jobs> -L 'internal|PyOpenCL|piglit|conformance_suite_micro' to run the tests in parallel
• make install
• test your favourite OpenCL app against the installed libpocl.so

To build the PyOpenCL testsuite, you will need python 3.x + virtualenv + python mako + numpy installed.

Note that only LLVM 5.0 and 6.0 are officially supported by this release (older may work, but any bugs found will be low-priority).

Please add your results to the test log below, or notice pocl developers (via pocl-devel mailing list, or #pocl IRC channel). Only after "enough" success reports in a row with no known regressions, we will publish the release.

Known Issues

• PyOpenCL fails with LLVM 4.0 due to missing metadata in LLVM modules
