Subject: Re: [GSoC] GCN Local Data Storage problems

Hello!

I would like to ask somebody who uses Windows and has a GCN capable GPU for
a little bit of help with HetPas, since it doesn't work for me. Sayantan,
do you have access to these? I would be really grateful!

I would like to generate an ELF binary with HetPas to look at the CAL notes
and figure out the correct LDS size parameters.
If somebody could do that I could send them the asm file that would need to
be built.

Thank you!
Daniel
