OpenCL Preferences

Sets how Fusion handles OpenCL acceleration

Options

OpenCL tools
"Disable" No OpenCL tools or plugins will be used. Fuses may still require OpenCL.
"Enable" OpenCL will be available for tools and plugins, if appropriate drivers are installed.
"Auto" OpenCL will be available in full Fusion, but will be disabled in Render Nodes.
Device
"GPU" All OpenCL code will be rendered on the graphics card, if drivers are available.
"CPU" OpenCL code will be rendered on the CPU, if drivers are available.
"NVidia" NVidia OpenCL drivers will be preferred.
"AMD" AMD/ATi OpenCL drivers will be preferred.
"Auto" GPU rendering is preferred. If unavailable, the vendor's platform default will be used.


Currently both the AMD and CPU options require either the AMD Catalyst 10.10 Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) technology Edition driver, or the ATI Stream SDK 2.1, or later, to be installed. The AMD and nVidia options are intended to force the use of one vendor over the other.


Debugging

Verbose console messages

More information will be shown in the Console. For example Startup Logs, Compiler Warnings and Messages.

Performance stats in metadata

Adds some timing information to the output image's metadata. This can be seen with the metadata view or accessed using the MetaData tools in Fusion.

Compiler options

Allows to specify command-line arguments to be given to the OpenCL compiler.

Clear cache files

Deletes the contents of the AllData:OCLCache folder, where compiled OpenCL binaries are stored and cached.
