OpenCL consists of a framework to define the platform as a host (typically a CPU) and one or more compute devices (e.g. a GPU) plus a C-based programming language for writing programs for the compute devices. Using OpenCL, a programmer can write parallel programs that use all the resources of the heterogeneous computer. =0AIn this hands-on tutorial, we will introduce OpenCL. The format will be a 50/50 split between lectures and exercises. Students will use their own laptops (Windows, Linux or OS/X) ideally with OpenCL already loaded (see www.heterogeneouscompute.org for information about available OpenCL compilers). We will also provide online systems that can run OpenCL. Students should load putty or some other terminal client prior to the tutorial in order to use these online systems.
