Hello all, I'm wondering if there are handhelds / mobile devices out there that are known to support OpenCL. I've read the following on Khronos' page: OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is the first open, royalty-free standard for general-purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous systems. OpenCL provides a uniform programming environment for software developers to write efficient, portable code for high-performance compute servers, desktop computer systems and handheld devices using a diverse mix of multi-core CPUs, GPUs, Cell-type architectures and other parallel processors such as DSPs. So, such devices exist, based upon this small introductionary piece of text. Although I cannot determine which range of devices is actually supporting OpenCL. Just above the previous quote, though, there is this piece of text (same page): OpenCL is being created by the Khronos Group with the participation of many industry-leading companies and institutions including 3DLABS, Activision Blizzard, AMD, Apple, ARM, Broadcom, Codeplay, Electronic Arts, Ericsson, Freescale, Fujitsu, GE, Graphic Remedy, HI, IBM, Intel, Imagination Technologies, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Motorola, Movidia, Nokia, NVIDIA, Petapath, QNX, Qualcomm, RapidMind, Samsung, Seaweed, S3, ST Microelectronics, Takumi, Texas Instruments, Toshiba and Vivante. I've marked the companies that I know of being developers of mobile device hardware in one way or another, but Google e.g. doesn't know any interesting combination of "OpenCL" and "mobile device" or "handheld" :-(. Very strange, since there are that much developers involved here. The reason why I'm asking this on this mailing list is that I'm willing to target some mobile device or platform and am going to do some (in-depth) research (MSc) about OpenCL on that mobile platform and since Python is available on almost every known platform out there, PyOpenCL gives me a splendid way to actually build such OpenCL-powered applications. Can someone elaborate on this matter? Maybe one can point me in some relevant direction? Thx in advance, Nick |
