-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-17329 2013-09-21 19:25:36 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : pocl Product : Fedora 20 Version : 0.8 Release : 7.fc20 URL : http://pocl.sourceforge.net Summary : Portable Computing Language Description : Pocl's goal is to become an efficient open source (MIT-licensed) implementation of the OpenCL 1.2 (and soon OpenCL 2.0) standard.

In addition to producing an easily portable open-source OpenCL implementation, another major goal of this project is improving performance portability of OpenCL programs with compiler optimizations, reducing the need for target-dependent manual optimizations.

At the core of pocl is the kernel compiler that consists of a set of LLVM passes used to statically transform kernels into work-group functions with multiple work-items, even in the presence of work-group barriers. These functions are suitable for parallelization in multiple ways (SIMD, VLIW, superscalar,...).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:

This update delivers pocl - an CPU-only OpenCL implementation. The implementation is not yet complete but usable in a limited scope. opencl-filesystem is an additional package which owns directories specified in the OpenCL spec. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
