Hello! I build project from branch 0.3 but it does not work for LuxRender, I checked with LuxMark, some actions are happening, it can be seen from what the server writes in the log and on loading video cards, but it like it's in some kind of the moment it freeze. I tried to use: 1. the server on Linux (Ubuntu), and the client on Windows 10; 2. server and client on Windows 10. Help me please solve the problem.

Hi Alex! I have tried running LuxMark on ocland last year and it had hung too. I was not able to fix these hangs. Do you have a specific interest on ocland+LuxMark? Patches for fixing ocland freeze on LuxMark are very welcome. Notifying @sanguinariojoe the world needs this project is also a good help.

Hey Alex and Timur!

I'm afraid ocland is dead... Very sad... However, there are some other alternatives you may consider (see below). It would be really nice if you give back some feedback about them here!

VOCL: Pretty similar to ocland... Theoretically you can just simply run your OpenCL program without modifying even a single line of code. Seems too old, probably is not working https://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/vocl/changeset/380/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip):

dOpenCL: Similar to ocland as well. You should give a try! http://www.uni-muenster.de/imperia/md/content/pvs/forschung/dopencl/dopencl-0.4.0_r1731.tar.gz

CLara: The website is dead... I would say it is similar to ocland... Who knows... https://sourceforge.net/projects/clara/

SnuCL: Seems very professional. However, I guess it is requiring changes on the source code, or at least in the compilation and execution process. http://snucl.snu.ac.kr/snucl.html

VCL: It's cost-free, but not libre/open-source http://www.mosix.org/txt_vcl.html/

rCUDA: For CUDA language... I can't even see the license, but seems they don't allows software redistribution. Probably you can just ignore that http://www.rcuda.net/index.php/software-request-form.html
