Tokyo, Japan – April 7, 2010 – Fixstars Corporation announced the release of their OpenCL Programming Book which is available on Amazon Kindle, Apple iPad and Fixstars’ website.
OpenCL is a parallel computing framework for programming multi-core systems, such as multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and Cell/B. E.. OpenCL multi-functionality is attracting attention as an efficient and highly portable open technology for software development.
The book is a result of the collaboration of our team of engineers in providing a practical and easy to use tool for OpenCL programming. It starts with the basics of parallelization, covering the main concepts, techniques, and setting up a development environment for OpenCL. It concludes with a clear and useful example of the FFT and Mersenne Twister algorithms written in OpenCL, walking you through the programming process and providing you with the source-code. It is the perfect resource for those wishing to get started on programming in OpenCL.
