OpenCL is an ad hoc standard managed by the Khronos Group for handling parallel programming on multicore CPUs and graphics processors. It was originally developed with help from Apple Inc.

Fixstars, who we usually cover here for reasons of news related to Yellow Dog Linux, announced today that they’ve released an electronic OpenCL programming book called, oddly enough, the OpenCL ...

OpenCL Parallel Programming Projects Welcome to the OpenCL Parallel Programming repository! This repository contains academic projects and training materials focused on exploring and mastering the ...

This paper proposes an OpenCL extension, clMPI, that allows a programmer to think as if GPUs communicate without any help of CPUs. The clMPI extension offers some OpenCL commands of inter-node data ...

Programming OpenCL Kernels An OpenCL application is split into host code and device kernel code. Host code is typically written using a general programming language such as C or C++ and compiled by a ...

Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) vendors provide high-level synthesis (HLS) compilers with accompanying OpenCL runtimes to enable easier use of their devices by non-hardware experts. However, the ...

LONDON — The Khronos Group, an industry consortium focused on developing multimedia standards and application programming interfaces (APIs), has released version 1.1 of the OpenCL specification, a ...

Khronos announces the ratification and public release of the OpenCL™ 2.1 and SPIR-V™ 1.0 specifications. Khronos has released open source utilities an ...

Today's graphics processors are highly programmable, massively parallel compute engines. In this role, they are commonly called general purpose graphics processing units, or GPGPUs. You can program ...

OpenCL 1.1 provides enhanced performance and functionality for parallel programming in a backwards compatible specification that is the result of cooperation between industry-leading companies ...
