In addition +to being an easily portable multi-device (truely heterogeneous) +open-source OpenCL implementation, a major goal of this project is +improving interoperability of diversity of OpenCL-capable devices by +integrating them to a single centrally orchestrated platform. Also +one of the key goals longer term is to enhance performance +portability of OpenCL programs across device types utilizing runtime +and compiler techniques. + +Upstream PoCL currently supports various CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs via +libcuda, HSA-supported GPUs and TCE ASIPs (experimental, see: +OpenASIP). It is also known to have multiple (private) adaptations +in active production use. + +PoCL uses Clang as an OpenCL C frontend and LLVM for kernel compiler +implementation, and as a portability layer. Thus, if your desired +target has an LLVM backend, it should be able to get OpenCL support +easily by using PoCL. + +Examples source are installed at: /usr/share/pocl/examples + +Optional: hwloc |
