Install OpenCL and PyOpenCL in Scientific Linux 6 (RHEL 6, CEntOS 6)

My rig is 64 bit system with RedHat 6 based OS, but my fera not supported for OpenCL using VGA(3200), so it using SSE2 from L310 processor  :(

Note that my Scientific Linux 6 installed from a 64 bit LiveDVD version, so might be a different step if using LiveCD.

Installing AMD APP:

• download AMD APP SDK from AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz
• extract and install following this AMD_APP_SDK_Installation_Notes.pdf

Test using a sample
$ ./HelloCL
HelloCL!
Getting Platform Information
Creating a context AMD platform
Getting device info
Loading and compiling CL source
Running CL program
Done
Passed!

Installing PyOpenCl:

• download PyOpenCL from PyOpenCL
• make sure C++ compiler(g++), python, numpy, C++ boost library are installed
• Tricky when execute configure.py: python configure.py   --cl-inc-dir=$HOME/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/include   --cl-lib-dir=$HOME/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64   --cl-libname=OpenCL
• then just make -> su -c "make install"
