#772 Provide better instructions for complex steps in OpenCL test cases (compiling programs)
Opened 19 days ago by yattatux. Modified 14 days ago

Hello.
I did not attend the intel test day yesterday because I did not have a quick reference on where to download and (most importantly) how to compile the required programs properly.

In other words, in the case of both OpenCL basic and OpenCL apps, the suggestions in the "How to Test" section are insufficient for people who would like to contribute to the test, optimizing the time for system preparation and focus only on the test. In my opinion, suggestions such as
- "Compile and run the heavy computation OpenCL program" Link to howto
or
- "Compile and run a simple OpenCL application that performs a basic computation, for example, vector addition" Link to howto
should be replaced by a link with a complete tutorial on where to download the specific program and how to compile it properly on Fedora.

I tried following this tutorial Link github tutorial (and downloaded more software from the Intel site), but to no avail. Maybe it is not good for compiling in Fedora, maybe I got some steps wrong, I don't know.

I hope that tutorials for Intel OpenCL test will be included in the next Test Days. I would make some if I had the skills, but I can help and collaborate privately in making them if needed.

Cheers.
