Gohara, Ph.D. In this first episode, the Open Computing Language (OpenCL) will be introduced. Background information on what it is, why it's needed and how you can use it to help speed up numerically intensive calculations will be presented. There is demo showing OpenCL in use in a real world calculation. http://www.macresearch.org/files/opencl/Episode_1.mov Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:00:00 GMT 42:46 Apple, Science, OpenCL, Programming, Snow Leopard David GoharanoThe OpenCL Tutorials on MacResearch.org<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/opencl/~4/cn6mAjjKNN8" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/opencl/~3/cn6mAjjKNN8/Episode_1.movhttp://www.macresearch.org/files/opencl/Episode_1.mov David W. Gohara, Ph.D. In this episode, we'll go over the fundamentals of OpenCL. Discussing concepts that once understood, will make implementing and using OpenCL much easier. This episode covers, OpenCL devices, objects and memory spaces. Several code examples are presented and we'll walk through the steps needed to run an OpenCL calculation. http://www.macresearch.org/files/opencl/Episode_2.m4v Wed, 26 Aug 2009 19:00:00 GMT 50:04 Apple, Science, OpenCL, Programming, Snow Leopard David GoharanoThe OpenCL Tutorials on MacResearch.org<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/opencl/~4/Sx2wSqa5t3I" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/opencl/~3/Sx2wSqa5t3I/Episode_2.m4vhttp://www.macresearch.org/files/opencl/Episode_2.m4v David W.

Gohara, Ph.D. In this episode we cover some questions that were asked on the forums about double-precision arithmetic, object oriented programming, clarification on global and local work groups and types of scientific calculations that are amenable to GPU computing. In addition, we'll go over in more detail how to query devices for specific information and features and walk through an example of an OpenCL calculation in Xcode. http://www.macresearch.org/files/opencl/Episode_3.m4v Thu, 3 Sep 2009 19:00:00 GMT 52:40 Apple, Science, OpenCL, Programming, Snow Leopard David GoharanoThe OpenCL Tutorials on MacResearch.org<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/opencl/~4/PWANvMPFX6Y" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/opencl/~3/PWANvMPFX6Y/Episode_3.m4vhttp://www.macresearch.org/files/opencl/Episode_3.m4v David W.
