It begins by presenting the core concepts behind OpenCL, including vector computing, parallel programming, and multi-threaded operations, and then guides you step-by-step from simple data structures to complex functions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Technology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhatever system you have, it probably has more raw processing power than you're using. OpenCL is a high-performance programming language that maximizes computational power by executing on CPUs, graphics processors, and other number-crunching devices. It's perfect for speed-sensitive tasks like vector computing, matrix operations, and graphics acceleration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout this Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOpenCL in Action\u003c\/i\u003e blends the theory of parallel computing with the practical reality of building high-performance applications using OpenCL. It first guides you through the fundamental data structures in an intuitive manner. Then, it explains techniques for high-speed sorting, image processing, matrix operations, and fast Fourier transform. The book concludes with a deep look at the all-important subject of graphics acceleration. Numerous challenging examples give you different ways to experiment with working code. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA background in C or C++ is helpful, but no prior exposure to OpenCL is needed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn OpenCL step by step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTons of annotated code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTested algorithms for maximum performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e*\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e*\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e*\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e*\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e*\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e*\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e*\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e*\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e*\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003col\u003ePART 1 FOUNDATIONS OF OPENCL PROGRAMMING\u003cli\u003eIntroducing OpenCL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHost programming: fundamental data structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHost programming: data transfer and partitioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKernel programming: data types and device memory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKernel programming: operators and functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvents, profiling, and synchronization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopment with C++ \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopment with Java and Python\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral coding principles\u003c\/li\u003ePART 2 CODING PRACTICAL ALGORITHMS IN OPENCL\u003cli\u003eReduction and sorting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatrices and QR decomposition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSparse matrices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal processing and the fast Fourier transform\u003c\/li\u003ePART 3 ACCELERATING OPENGL WITH OPENCL\u003cli\u003eCombining OpenCL and OpenGL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextures and renderbuffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Scarpino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1617290173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617290176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manning Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.44w x 0.94d","brand":"Matthew Scarpino","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987009634559,"sku":"9781617290176","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77d9eec7-234d-490a-a857-92bc82113fdb.jpg?v=1683286472","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/opencl-in-action-matthew-scarpino-9781617290176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
