OpenCL training targets GPUs
The jointly developed OpenCL courses from AMD and Acceleware are designed to support professional software developers by providing ongoing education opportunities around OpenCL, the non-proprietary industry standard for true heterogeneous computing across platforms.
“OpenCL helps developers harness the full power of the CPU and GPU to create rich and vivid computing experiences on a wide variety of devices,” said Manju Hegde, corporate vice president, AMD Fusion Experience Program. “Our work with Acceleware is another example of our commitment to supporting industry standards, and we’re excited to offer OpenCL learning opportunities for professional developers, which complement our previously announced OpenCL University kit.”
Beginning in June 2011, Acceleware and AMD will host monthly training sessions at various locations, starting in the US. Participants will receive documentation of course completion. To view the schedule and sign up for the training course, visit: www.acceleware.com/amd-opencl-training.
Acceleware also will sponsor a drop-in lab at the AMD Fusion Developer Summit to be held June 13-16, 2011 in Bellevue, Washington. Acceleware will join AMD technical personnel, AMD executives, developers and additional partner companies gathered at AMD’s developer summit to discuss industry standards including OpenCL, and to explore how to best optimize applications for heterogeneous computing.
The inaugural summit will gather developers, academics and emerging innovators to learn more about heterogeneous computing, Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) technology, parallel processing and developer programs like the AMD Fusion Fund.
