I think we should move these OpenCL include files as well as CUDA and
OpenCL kernels to a subdirectory to $JOHN before releasing next Jumbo.
Like $JOHN/gpu. Would that pose any problems?
Anyway, the real reason for this post is I just added (to Claudio's
include_source() function, cause it was easiest) another thing: When
building for CPU, the option -DDEVICE_IS_CPU is added to the build
options. I use this in the upcoming rar-opencl format for self-adjusting
the kernel to device type. We could add some more similar macros as needed.
Speaking of RAR I got 750 c/s (for an eight character test vector) on
first try on a GTX280. Nowhere good enough, but not too bad either: It's
ten times faster than four CPU cores. I'm hoping I can get it a lot
faster once I get a working profiler. I'll switch to a shorter test
vector for better comparisons with cRARk and the likes.
