List of recommended drivers #61

Closed juliohm closed 7 months ago

juliohm commented 2 years ago

Can we compile a partial list of recommended drivers for different devices?

I am assuming that each vendor like intel, nvidia, ... provides a driver that works well with their hardware. Is there any mechanism in the OpenCL-ICD-Loader or somewhere else that could identify the device features as "NVIDIA" or "AMD", that we could use to automatically install drivers for beginners?

This question was raised in the context of OpenCL.jl in Julia where we are trying to facilitate the end-user experience by providing artifacts at installation time. We already managed to cross-compile the OpenCL-ICD-Loader for all platforms with your help, and are now wondering if we could also help end-users with "recommended" driver installations.

Probably out of scope for this repository.
