title: Is there an offlineOpenCL compiler (for NVIDIA graphics cards)?
body: <p>The normal way to run an OpenCL program is to include the openCL kernel that is compiled at runtime (<em>online compilation</em>). </p>
  
  <p>But I've seen examples of compiling OpenCL to binary before, called <em>offline compilation</em>. I'm aware of the disadvantages (reducing compatibility across hardware).</p>
  
  <p>There used to be an offline compiler at <a href="http://www.fixstars.com/en/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fixstars.com/en/</a> but it does not seems to be available anymore.</p>
  
  <p>So is there an offline compiler for OpenCL available, in particular for NVIDIA-based cards?</p>
