Intel has just released an alpha of its OpenCL SDK, an implementation of OpenCL* 1.1 optimised for Intel multi-core processors under Windows 7/Vista.

OpenCL is an open source language aimed at making general purpose parallel programming easier.  Currently the alpha software only supports 32-bit processors and it only works with Visual Studio 2008 (or via the command line). It also includes some optional extensions:

  1. Out-of-order Execution model
  2. Execution of native kernels
  3. Image support
  4. Compiler optimization options
  5. Double precision floating point support
  6. Creating OpenCL* context from an OpenGL context or share group
  7. Sharing memory objects with OpenGL* or OpenGL* ES buffers, texture and render bigger objects

It also comes with some tools - VTune, Graphics performance analyzer, the offline compiler and printf support.

OPENCL

 

The samples included with the SDK are:

  • Dot Product
    Demonstrates how to compute a dot product of two float4 arrays and writes the result to a float array
  • Bitonic Sort
    Demonstrates how to sort an arbitrary input array of integer values with OpenCL using Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) bitonic sorting networks.
  • God Rays
    Demonstrates how to use high dynamic range (HDR) rendering with God Rays (crepuscular rays) in OpenCL.
  • Median Filter
    Demonstrates how to use a median filter in OpenCL.
