     105 * Working code samples for NVIDIA and AMD can be found in the BOINC source tree under /src
     106   * The samples should probably be unified/consolidated (kernels might differ for NVIDIA and AMD of course)
     107   * We tested both samples on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs respectively - success
     108 * There's a wiki page describing how to build the samples on Windows, Linux and Mac OS
     109 * Missing in the current client
     110   * Enumerate all OpenCL platforms/devices, keep them in a list (array)
     111   * Pass the list IDs of the platform/device to be used by the science app (as an integer)
     112   * Provide two API calls: taking the list ID, returning the cl_platform_id and the cl_device_id (opaque complex types, required by science app to create OpenCL context)
     113   * Make sure OpenCL and CUDA apps don't collide (use the same resource/GPU) on a multi-NVIDIA GPU system
     114   * Make sure multi-vendor GPU setups (single host system) are supported (applies to Mac OS and Windows 7)
     115 * There are a number of lessons learned available at Einstein@Home with respect to AMD and NVIDIA driver issues related to OpenCL. We could add those to the BOINC wiki
