OpenCL for Edge AI and On-Device Inference: Build High-Performance Mobile and Embedded AI Systems with GPU Acceleration, Computer Vision Pipelines, an (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258167187)

Edge AI promises speed, privacy, and lower cloud costs, but getting models to run smoothly on real mobile and embedded hardware is where most projects break down. Latency spikes, battery drain, limited memory, hardware fragmentation, and unreliable deployment pipelines can turn a promising prototype into a frustrating dead end. This book is built for engineers who need more than theory. It shows how to make on-device inference actually work, and work fast.

OpenCL for Edge AI and On-Device Inference gives you a practical path to building GPU-accelerated AI systems for phones, embedded Linux boards, and edge devices. It covers the full implementation pipeline, from setting up OpenCL environments and writing efficient kernels to building inference engines, optimizing computer vision workloads, handling quantization, and shipping real-time applications on Android and embedded platforms. Rather than treating performance as a vague goal, this book focuses on measurable engineering decisions that improve throughput, reduce latency, and help your systems stay reliable under real deployment constraints.

Inside, you will learn how to:

• build OpenCL kernels for AI primitives, tensor operations, and vision workloads
• optimize memory movement, tiling, scheduling, and synchronization for edge hardware
• create end-to-end inference pipelines for mobile and embedded deployment
• integrate OpenCL with Android, OpenCV, and real-time camera workflows
• apply FP16, INT8, and low-precision strategies for faster on-device inference
• profile, debug, and tune systems for sustained performance, thermal limits, and production stability

If you want to build mobile AI, embedded AI, GPU inference, and computer vision systems that are fast, portable, and ready for real-world use, this book gives you the implementation-focused guidance to do it with confidence.
