Thanks Ken. It is nice to know it works on the Chromebook! Is it running 
Chrome OS? Which VM?

AndreasSystemProfiler prims are just for that, profiling. No direct 
relation with OpenCL. Deformation Grid Example doesn't work (yet) on my 
machines either! This is pretty early stuff.

If you (or anybody) has interest in learning OpenCL, it is there for you 
to play with. OpenCL is extremely powerful, and using it from Cuis is 
surprisingly simple. I mean, it is quite free from extra complexity, 
such as trouble to get tools setup, and examples running. Programming in 
OpenCL is far from trivial, although the programming model is quite good 
and well thought.
