"OpenCL™ is the first open, royalty-free standard for cross-platform, parallel programming of modern processors found in personal computers, servers and handheld/embedded devices. OpenCL (Open Computing Language) greatly improves speed and responsiveness for a wide spectrum of applications in numerous market categories from gaming and entertainment to scientific and medical software."

Very interesting, thanks for the post BES

 

NP ..I found some more info :

 

Simple OpenCL tutorial:

This looks like a class on OpenCL(6 pages)

If that OpenCL Studio fails to run on your system(just sits there loading the splash screen), you will just have to use the SDK instead and use the below:

 

If you have the SDK already and visual C++ 2008 or 2010 .. you most likely will need the OpenCL API Registry from Kronos group, it includes the cl.hpp C++ Bindings header if you wanna use C++

 

For Visial C++ 2008/2010 you will probably need the bin,include and lib folders from the OpenCL SDK in your project folder

 

Any other headers and stuff you need can probably be found here: http://www.koders.com/

 

Anyway thats what I found from trying to add some stuff to leadwerks ...im not very good with C or C++ so I didnt get very far, I will have to learn more C/C++ ..

Thanks again for all the information. I'm heavily involved in other things just now but will take a look at this when ever I next have some free time.
