Thank you. This tells me exactly what I need to know.

I am not too sure when I should expect the transparent API to be able to use the GPU and when not.

Will Mat::dot() use the GPU if it is available?

Is there a way I can test whether Mat::dot()is using the GPU?

I downloaded the windows binary package and the source package for all platforms.

I ran the self-extracting archive under windows. For the source, I built under Linux and did make install.

Now when I diff the two opencv2 directories, I see many differences:

I haven't confirmed, but I think that misusing the Windows headers on Linux might cause link errors in my program. So I'm wondering:

• What is the reason for the difference?
• Is it safe to use the "all platforms" headers on Windows?
