Altera opencl support INT8?

Hi, I am new to the Opencl development and FPGA.

Currently, I plan to buy an Altera Board and develop it using OpenCL,

but I wonder if Altera can implement opencl 8INT primitive ??

Sorry if the question sounds stupid

    Check "Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL Programming Guide, Appendix A" for a list of supported OpenCL types and features.

    Do you mean int8? Then yes. int8 on the device and cl_int8 on the host.
