Part 1. Foundations of OpenCL programming

Part 1 presents the OpenCL language. We’ll explore OpenCL’s data structures and functions in detail and look at example applications that demonstrate their usage in code.

Chapter 1 introduces OpenCL, explaining what it’s used for and how it works. Chapters 2 and 3 explain how host applications are coded, and chapters 4 and 5 discuss kernel coding. Chapters 6 and 7 explore the advanced topics of image processing and event handling.

Chapters 8 and 9 discuss how OpenCL is coded in languages other than C, such as C++, Java, and Python. Chapter 10 explains how OpenCL’s capabilities can be used to develop large-scale applications.
