What extra bit of work are you referring to? The installation of
Bumblebee or Ironhide?
I plan to develop OpenCL programs in the near future on my Optimus
equipped laptop. I'm using Ironhide to gain access to the gpu. Though
I didn't try to set up the OpenCL environment yet, any feedback in
that direction would be very welcome.
