Clarifying my question...

Arrayfire technically works without any gpu support (cpu context), but
openbsd has some support for amd gpus and conceptually that means that
arrayfire's use of opencl should be portable without herculean
efforts.

But, when I look for openbsd support of opencl, I see stale
suggestions that openbsd not be used:

And... I realize that this is a fuzzy question, one where I might have
to invest months or years of time to get a decent answer.

Still, ... if dead silence is the response here, ... maybe it's
something I should burn some time on...

Thanks,
