Course Overview

This course explains the OpenCL standard for parallel computing when using different types of processors, DSPs and in particular graphics adapter cards such as NVIDIA, AMD and Intel.
The course presents OpenCL within the framework of other relevant parallel computing graphics adapter card standards and as a part of the Khronos standards.
The course will also outline parallel processing capabilities when coding video.
