OpenCL runtime and concurrency model
Abstract
The OpenCL execution model is key to achieving a high level of performance across a range of architectures without extraordinary programming effort. This chapter discusses the different components of the execution model. The host-side execution model and the device-side execution model are explained. The device-side execution model also includes device-side enqueuing of kernels, which is a powerful new component of OpenCL 2.0.
