ocl-wheels

OpenCL binary distributions for python/pyopencl

PyOpenCL builds an OpenCL ICD loader here for its manylinux binary wheels. This loader will see ICDs from the system installed at /etc/OpenCL/vendors and also at a special directory <site-packages>/pyopencl/.libs. While a user can install pocl or oclgrind to /etc/OpenCL/vendors, but that requires root permissions which is not ideal.

The special directory <site-packages>/pyopencl/.libs is used by the two packages pocl-binary-distribution and oclgrind-binary-distribution PyPI packages to install binaries of pocl and oclgrind there.

To build the wheels, run

scripts/run_docker_build.sh

To update the version of pocl, there are several places to update

1. version number here, and here
2. pocl source version here
