PyOpenCL sage package (optional)

[maldun]

This package installs PyOpenCl? (a nice GPU programming tool) from Andreas Kloeckner into Sage.

For more Info see ​http://mathema.tician.de/software/pyopencl

For installation:

• Install OpenCL on your machine (This is contained for example in CUDA for NVIDIA Cards: ​http://developer.nvidia.com/object/gpucomputing.html) or STREAM for ATI cards: ​http://developer.amd.com/gpu/atistreamsdk/pages/default.aspx; INTEL is not supported yet, but they announced it for 2011!)

• Download the package at ​http://code.google.com/p/spkg-upload/downloads/detail?name=pyopencl-0.92.spkg

(direct link: ​http://spkg-upload.googlecode.com/files/pyopencl-0.92.spkg)

• install it.
• IMPORTANT: After installation the setuptools package has to be reinstalled!! Because the installer uses the distributed egg package. This messes somehow with setuptools and will be removed after the installation. But this destroys setup tools!
• enjoy!

Update: With the new version of setuptools-0.6c11 (see #10361) the reinstall of setuptools become obsolete. You can download the patched version of pyopencl here: ​http://spkg-upload.googlecode.com/files/pyopencl-0.92.p0.spkg

WARNING: The whole thing is not well tested, use on own risk!

This is only tested on ubuntu 10.04 with latest nvidia development drivers (260.40) and CUDA toolkit 3.2 and SDK

I would appreciate some testing, and hope it's usefull

See also #10010 for an optional CUDA (PyCUDA) spkg.

Remark: I changed

cd $SAGE_LOCAL/LIB/python/site-packages

to

cd $SAGE_LOCAL/lib/python/site-packages

to make it possible to install this package on FEMhub also. The same applies for #10010

With the new version of setuptools (see ticket #10361) the reinstall of setuptools become obsolete
