At the core of pocl is a set of LLVM passes +used to statically parallelize multiple work-items with the kernel +compiler, even in the presence of work-group barriers. This enables +parallelization of the fine-grained static concurrency in the work +groups in multiple ways (SIMD, VLIW, superscalar,...). + +The code base is modularized to allow easy adding of new "device drivers" +in the host-device layer. A generic multithreaded "target driver" is +included. It allows running OpenCL applications on a host that supports +the pthread library with multithreading at the work group granularity. + +WWW: http://portablecl.org/ |
