Honored ContributorOpenCL SDK on Ubuntu
Hi,The OpenCL SDK Release page says that Redhat EL 5.6 is the only supported Linux distribution. We have a server with 32G RAM running Ubuntu 12.04.I am just curious to know if OpenCL SDK will run...

Honored ContributorOnly RHEL 5.6 is officially supported. That said, the SDK should be able to be installed on any x86-64 Linux system. This of course will require Quartus II to be installed on the system as well as a prerequisite. The main barrier to this is using an actual board in an Ubuntu system. The PCIe driver is specific to the kernel version used by RHEL 5.6. So in theory you could use an Ubuntu machine to build/compile kernels, but the actual running of a program would need to occur on a system that has a working PCIe driver and board.
