Title: OpenCL
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a framework for writing programs that execute across heterogeneous platforms consisting of CPUs, GPUs, and other processors. OpenCL includes a language (based on C99) for writing kernels (functions that execute on OpenCL devices), plus APIs that are used to define and then control the heterogeneous platform. OpenCL provides [[Parallel procedures|parallel programming]] using both task-based and data-based parallelism. | |

| 13 | + | - MacOSX 10.6 OpenCL framework | |
| 14 | + | - NVidia OpenCL Windows .dll | |
| 15 | + | - ATI using ATI Stream SDK ([ATI Stream SDK](http://developer.amd.com/gpu/ATIStreamSDK/Pages/default.aspx)) under Linux. NVidia OpenCL under Linux should work as well, but it is untested. | |
| 16 | + | ||
| 17 | + | **Important!** ATI OpenCL under Linux requires X server running and building with GUI staff in (GUI window application). Tested under Linux v2.6.36 32bit, X server v1.8.2, ATI proprietary drivers v10.10, ati stream sdk v2.2. | |
