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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Technology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout this Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA background in C or C++ is helpful, but no prior exposure to OpenCL is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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. \u003c\/p\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e**\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003col\u003ePART 1 FOUNDATIONS OF OPENCL PROGRAMING\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 ACELERATING OPENGL WITH OPENCL\u003cli\u003eCombining OpenCL and OpenGL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextures and renderbuffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49585104716049,"sku":"GOR006916967","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49759063048465,"sku":"CIN1617290173G","price":249.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50709561508113,"sku":"GOR010736464","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52466192154897,"sku":"CIN1617290173VG","price":10.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52651225579793,"sku":"NIN9781617290176","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1617290173.jpg?v=1750720393","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/opencl-in-action-book-matthew-scarpino-9781617290176","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
