    v42 v43  
    119119   * AMD's APP SDK < v2.4 for Linux provides libOpenCL.so but not libOpenCL.so.1 which not really standard-compliant. This is bad when an app was built with NVIDIA's OpenCL SDK but run on an AMD OpenCL system. Fixed in APP SDK 2.4.
    120120   * AMD's Catalyst driver < 11.3 provides no OpenCL runtime components. This means users have to install the APP SDK (no-go for volunteer computing). Fixed for Windows in Catalyst 11.3, fix for Linux still pending.
    121    * AMD's OpenCL implementation requires a running X server on Linux, NVIDIA doesn't. This is clearly a major disadvantage for cluster/grid system that often don't have an X server installed/running. Still not fixed, might be fixed for FireStream (non-comsumer) devices only!

    122122   * AMD's Catalyst driver 11.4 is buggy as it returns 0 when clGetDeviceInfo() is called for CL_DEVICE_MAX_CLOCK_FREQUENCY. Current status unknown.
    123123   * AMD's Catalyst driver installer on Linux is buggy and requires a workaround to prevent it from crashing: export MALLOC_CHECK_=0
