#842 new defect

allow specification of single and double precision opencl device

Reported by: pkienzle Owned by:
Priority: minor Milestone: SasView 4.3.0

Cc: Work Package: SasView Bug Fixing

Description

The OpenCL setup dialog doesn't allow for the selection of single and double precision devices. If the device is single precision only and the model does not support single precision then the DLL is used even if there is a double precision device available.

The following patch allows both single and double precision devices to be set in the environment variable, separated by a comma:
