GPU folding on Mac OSX

Post by Joseph.Hewitt »

Hi,

Is GPU folding available for Mac OSX yet? If so, which version do I need? Is there any special configuration I will need? Or is it simply not available yet?

Thanks

Not yet available. The original intent was to make GPU folding available across all three OS's, but the developer ran into problems with the implementation of OpenCL on OS X. He also ran into OpenCL driver issues for AMD-ATI cards under Linux. So currently GPU folding is available on Windows and on nVidia GPU's on systems running Linux.
