actually, there is something that would be very useful, as I am<br>
struggling with testing my changes at the moment. It would be great to<br>
have minimal self-contained OpenCL example programs covering a<br>
spectrum of features we use. As a start, I could use a minimal atomic<br>
compare and swap example that would crash in the same way GROMACS does<br>
now.<br>
<br>
LLVM requires tests for all patches [1]. So I would certainly reuse these.<br>
<br>
Is this doable? I can try to make them myself, but you mentioned you<br>
are familiar with the code so I'm hoping you could make them quicker.<br>
<br>
