Abstract:

OpenCL is a new industry standard programming system for developing parallel programs that typically execute on heterogeneous computing systems. OpenCL has much in common with NVIDIA´s CUDA programming toolkit, but differs in a number of important respects as a result of its goal of supporting a broader range of target hardware platforms. This talk will introduce OpenCL and provide some basic comparisons with other programming systems.
