PHP and OpenCL

Hi all,

is there a way to use OpenCL in PHP context?

if so how?

I’m curious because on my laptop PHP runs very slow and I need to do heavy database calculations, which often take longer than 5 minutes for my laptop to compute…

I did a quick google search for PHP OpenCL bindings but I didn’t find anything. You might want to keep checking around and see if someone is working on it. I haven’t done any PHP programming in a while so I’m out of the loop.

ok, so that clearly means no. but it is a good idea isnt it?

best regards,

Yes, very good idea. :slight_smile: I’m currently using Ruby-OpenCL bindings and they work great. There are also bindings for Python. I haven’t checked for Perl yet, but it might have some too. I’m sure that they will have some for PHP at some point, hopefully sooner then later.
