They are OpenCL compute kernels Shantonu On Aug 31, 2012, at 11:45 AM, Jerry Krinock <jerry@ieee.org> wrote:
I've received a few crash reports which have a library named cl_kernels loaded multiple times. I've seen this occasionally on my Mac too, an Intel Core i5 MacBook Air running Mac OS X 10.8.1. For example, here's part of a crash report from Mail.app:
Binary Images: 0x104c91000 - 0x10502dff7 com.apple.mail (6.0 - 1482) <CD9A5D3C-C523-3FED-A558-B2FA10741B5F> … 0x10a9fd000 - 0x10a9feff3 +cl_kernels (???) <5B88BC0F-B34B-41C0-A250-8E04788A813D> cl_kernels 0x10aa17000 - 0x10aa18ff2 +cl_kernels (???) <3A3E5E9C-C9E7-4FDF-B6B9-E8B19DF5E1BC> cl_kernels 0x10aa1b000 - 0x10aa1bff3 +cl_kernels (???) <F6E8271A-1345-45F1-8E21-895B3AE116FB> cl_kernels 0x10aa5a000 - 0x10aa5bff3 +cl_kernels (???) <F5B043ED-91E2-4050-AA3C-E5097EE88580> cl_kernels …
Why would a library need to be loaded 4 times in one app? In other crash reports, I've seen it up to 20 times.
The .plist version of the crash report indicates that cl_kernels has attribute is_Apple=NO, but I've seen this on many Macs and I think maybe it *is* an Apple component.
I don't find much information on cl_kernels in an internet search, other than in unexplained crash reports.
Is it possible that cl_kernels spells "trouble"?
