Arm Mali Panfrost Driver Lands OpenCL C Support In Mesa 25.1
The Panfrost Gallium3D driver has merged initial OpenCL C infrastructure into Mesa 25.1 for allowing OpenCL compute on Arm Mali graphics using this open-source Linux driver stack.
Mary Guillemard with Collabora has added OpenCL C driver support to Panfrost based on the CLC infrastructure used by the Asahi AGX Gallium3D code for Apple Silicon. The PanVK Vulkan driver as part of this merge also adds libpan support for OpenCL C functions inside NIR builders like the Panfrost Gallium3D code. Those interested in OpenCL C support for Arm Mali hardware with the Panfrost driver in Mesa 25.1 can find out more about this support via this merge that landed a short time ago into Mesa Git.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
