A popular approach to programming manycore GPUs is the Single Instruction Multiple Thread (SIMT) abstraction. SIMT has the benefit of presenting a "single thread" view, alleviating the complexity of explicitly vectorizing the source code. However, due ...

OpenCL 2.0 is here, supported for the first time on the 5th Generation Intel ® Core Processors with Intel ® Processor Graphics. We are going to talk about the things we have learned in the past year developing workloads for OpenCL 2.0 and speedups ...

Hyperbolic conservation laws are important mathematical models for describing many phenomena in physics or engineering. The Finite Volume (FV) method and the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods are two popular methods for solving conservation laws on ...

The growth in demand for heterogeneous accelerators has stimulated the development of cutting-edge features in newer accelerators. The heterogeneous programming frameworks such as OpenCL have matured over the years and have introduced new software ...

High-level programming languages and domain-specific languages can often benefit from the increased power efficiency of heterogeneous computing. OpenCL can serve as a compiler target for portable code generation and runtime management. By using OpenCL ...

The introduction of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based devices for OpenCL applications provides an opportunity to develop kernels which are executed on application specific compute units which can be optimized for specific workloads such as ...

Embedded system on a chip (SOC) vendors of today are perpetually challenged with the following goals; provide more compute capability and reduce cost and power. Unfortunately, these goals compete rather than cooperate. In order to address this, SOC ...

SYCL is a royalty-free, open standard, higher-level C++ programming model for OpenCL. C++ developers can produce easy-to-use template libraries for OpenCL devices, as well as easily porting C++ applications to use OpenCL. By providing ease-of-use, high ...

Programming FPGAs with OpenCL-based high-level synthesis frameworks is gaining attention with a number of commercial and research frameworks announced. However, there are no benchmarks for evaluating these frameworks. To this end, we present CHO ...

Parallel primitives libraries reduce the burden of knowledge required for developers to begin developing parallel applications and accelerating them with OpenCL. Unfortunately some current libraries implement primitives as individual kernels and so ...

We describe Oclgrind, a platform designed to enable the creation of developer tools for analysis and debugging of OpenCL programs. Oclgrind simulates how OpenCL kernels execute with respect to the OpenCL standard, adhering to the execution and memory ...

Augmented Reality (AR) is a live view of real-world sequences with enhanced digital information. To enable such enhancement, typical modules of an AR application can be very compute intensive, which is a factor that prevents users from having smooth ...

With increasing computational power and the maturation of new consumer grade human-computer interaction devices, interactive computational experiments are becoming feasible[1].

Visual understanding is a broad term used to describe efforts to extract meaning and knowledge from images computationally. Much effort has been spent by researchers to develop methods to allow for information to be gained from images the way humans do. ...

Evaluating parallel and heterogeneous programs written in OpenCL can be challenging. Commonly, simulators can be used to aid the programmer in this regard. One of the fundamental requirements of any simulator is to provide traces, reports, and debugging ...

SYCL ([sikə l] as in sickle) is a royalty-free, cross-platform C++ abstraction layer that builds on the underlying concepts, portability and efficiency of OpenCL, while adding the ease-of-use and flexibility of modern C++11. For example, SYCL enables ...

This workshop and tutorial will allow developers to learn underlying architecture relevant to running OpenCL applications on Intel ®Processor Graphics and use Intel tools such as Intel ®OpenCL ™Code Builder and Intel ®VTune ™Amplifier to create, develop ...
