Here post your question

I’m looking to integrate a new vendor accelerator with my setup, which utilizes the POCL runtime environment for OpenCL kernel computation. Can anyone provide guidance on the feasibility and steps to proceed with this integration?

Thanks

What do you mean with vendor? The vendor is not very relevant for the code. Do you mean a new architecture?

If POCL follows the OpenCL standards, the current OpenCL kernels should work. Performance optimization could be useful for a new architecture.
