Does my machine support OpenCL? I found Conformant Products where the list contains the required hardware requirements. Please find the below screenshots of few of my machine. Does any one of the below support OpenCL?

Does any of my three machines support OpenCL? Or do all the three support OpenCL? I am trying to run a basic OpenCL face-detection program and am failing. I have posted Stack Overflow question How to run basic OpenCL face detection code regarding the same.

After running GPU Caps Viewer, the "1st machine" is of type GPU 1: Intel HD Graphics 2000. Does it support OpenCL?

Intel's OpenCL supports Intel Core CPUs for the CPU-only version and 3rd and 4th generation Intel Core CPUs for the built-in GPUs. Your first screen-shot does not tell me enough to know which generation of Intel HD graphics card is installed, but your 3rd PC definitely won't support OpenCL on its Intel GPU (HD 3000 was for 2nd generation Intel Core CPUs). PC 3 does support Intel's CPU-runtime for OpenCL.

AMD's OpenCL CPU-runtime should work on the 3rd PC too, but you have not given enough info about the other two for me to advise you there. That said, AMD's OpenCL CPU runtime supports a lot of CPUs so it is worth attempting to install it.

The Nvidia GPU on the 2nd PC is too old so it does not have OpenCL support (it pre-dates OpenCL by about 3 years).

Try installing GPU-Z. It has information about what models of GPU programming are supported.

I would recommend you to install GPU Caps Viewer from this website: http://www.ozone3d.net/gpu_caps_viewer/

It is even more complete than GPU-Z and allow you to run OpenCL and DirectX demos.

I am actually interested in what kind of face-detection program you are trying to run. OpenCL is widely used for boosting the performance on heavy computational tasks but I haven't heard of any software that uses it for improving face-detection. Is it free? Could you share here? Thanks.
