In my case only one single test fails, but I was reassured by upstream
that this is a problem of my laptop having a GPU that is just not up to
the task. Probably the issue is similar in your case.
What do you have in mind about the diagnostics? I could think of first
checking whether the GPU supports OpenCL and only then run the tests.
Otherwise it would print a message. I'll talk to upstream and see
whether they have a suggestion on how to detect GPU programming support
a priori.
