Portable OpenCL (pocl)
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Portable OpenCL (>= 3.0) aims to be an efficient open source
|
|
(MIT-licensed) implementation of the OpenCL 2.X standard with
|
|
adaptions of OpenCL 3.0.
|
|
|
|
In addition to producing an easily portable open source OpenCL
|
|
implementation, another major goal of the project is improving
|
|
performance portability of OpenCL programs with compiler
|
|
optimizations, reducing the need for target-dependent manual
|
|
optimizations. At the core of pocl is a set of LLVM passes
|
|
used to statically parallelize multiple work-items with the kernel
|
|
compiler, even in the presence of work-group barriers. This enables
|
|
parallelization of the fine-grained static concurrency in the work
|
|
groups in multiple ways (SIMD, VLIW, superscalar,...).
|
|
|
|
The code base is modularized to allow easy adding of new "device drivers"
|
|
in the host-device layer. A generic multithreaded "target driver" is
|
|
included. It allows running OpenCL applications on a host that supports
|
|
the pthread library with multithreading at the work group granularity.
