New OpenCL™ 101 White Paper - + Combining a low power CPU with a multicore high-performance GPU on the AMD Embedded G-Series APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) opens up new processing opportunities for embedded applications. Take full advantage of the processing power by using OpenCL! This paper introduces the reader to the OpenCL framework and programming model and contains an in-depth tutorial on working with AMD's Accelerated Parallel Processing Software Development Kit (AMD APP SDK) including creating your first OpenCL program. Read more AMD OpenCL™ Zone - + The OpenCL™ (Open Computing Language) is the first truly open and royalty-free programming standard for general-purpose computations on heterogeneous systems. OpenCL allows programmers to preserve their expensive source code investment and easily target multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and the new APUs. AMD, an early supporter of OpenCL, and leading innovator and provider of high-performance CPUs, GPUs and APUs, is uniquely positioned in this industry to offer a complete acceleration platform for OpenCL. Get information about system requirements and development systems, take training, download white papers, and access tools and libraries on AMD's OpenCL Zone.
