Install AMD OpenCL driver with Nvidia graphics card

I have seen this question many times, but have not found an answer for Windows. I recently ported CUDA code to OpenCL. When testing with an ATI card, the Catalyst drivers contain the OpenCL CPU driver, so I can run the OpenCL code on the CPU. When testing on an NVIDIA card, there is no driver for the processor.

Question: how can I install (and deploy) the CPU driver when working with an Nvidia card?

Thank you so much

To use OpenCL on the processor, you do not need any driver, you only need the OpenCL runtime supporting the processor, which (in the case of AMD / ATI) is part of the APP SDK . It can be installed no matter what GPU you have. End users will also need to install the APP SDK: there is currently no way to set only OpenCL runtime.

If you have an Intel processor, you'd better try the Intel OpenCL SDK , which has a separate installer. However, the AMD APP SDK works well on Intel processors, but note the opposite.
