DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: OpenCL is an open standard for programming heterogeneous parallel computers composed of CPUs, GPUs and other processors.  OpenCL consists of a framework to manipulate the host CPU and one or more compute devices plus a C-based programming language for writing programs for the compute devices.  Using OpenCL, a programmer can write parallel programs that harness all of the resources of a heterogeneous computer.    =0A =0AIn this hands-on tutorial, we introduce OpenCL using the more accessible C++ API.  The tutorial format will be a 50/50 split between lectures and exercises.  Students will use their own laptops (Windows, Linux or OS/X) and log into a remote server running an OpenCL platform.  Alternatively, students can load OpenCL onto their own laptops prior to the course (Intel, AMD and NVIDIA provide OpenCL SDKs.  Apple laptops with X-code include OpenCL by default. Be sure to configure X-code to use the command line interface).=0A=0AThe last segment of the tutorial will be spent visiting the “OpenCL zoo”; a diverse collection of OpenCL conformant devices.  Tutorial attendees will run their own programs on devices in the zoo to explore performance portability of OpenCL.   The zoo should include a mix of CPU, GPU, FPGA, mobile, and DSP devices.
