OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is the first royalty-free
standard for cross platform, parallel programming of modern
processors found in personal computers, servers, mobiles, and
embedded devices. OpenCL greatly improves speed and
responsiveness for a wide spectrum of applications in numerous
market categories, from gaming and entertainment to scientific
and medical software. OpenCL has proved itself to be versatile in
that it now runs on not only operating systems like Windows and
Linux powered by Intel and AMD processors, but also on low power
chips like ARM, and it has also been adopted by processor
manufacturers like ARM Corp, Vivante, and Altera, among
others.

OpenCL Parallel Programming Development Cookbook was designed to
be practical so that we achieve a good balance between theory and
application. Learning to program in a parallel way is relatively
easy, but to be able to take advantage of all of the resources
available to you efficiently is quite different. You need to be
shown not only application, but also the theory behind

This book is roughly in two parts, where the first part is the
fundamentals of OpenCL parallel development and the second part
is the various algorithms we will explore with you. Each part is
packed with many code samples and illustrations to demonstrate
various concepts. The first part is essential for a beginner to
not only program in parallel, but also to think in parallel and
become equipped with the mental model with which to tackle
parallel programming. The second part consists of seven different
algorithms that the author has identified; you will learn various
parallel programming techniques that experts have used in the
past 60 years that are applicable to OpenCL.

This book will demonstrate how you think in parallel by
illustrating and demonstrating programming techniques like data
partitioning, thread coarsening, register tiling, data
pre-fetching, and algorithm transformation. These techniques are
demonstrated in the seven algorithms you'll be shown, from image
processing and solving sparse linear systems to in-memory
sorting.OpenCL Parallel Programming Development Cookbook combines
recipes, illustrations, code, and explanations to allow you to
learn the essentials of parallel programming in OpenCL, and the
author has added in enough math so that the readers understand
the motivation and can also lay the foundation upon which they
will begin their own exploration.
