DESCRIPTION:OpenCL is a standard for programming heterogeneous computers b
 uilt from CPUs\, GPUs and other processors. It includes a framework to def
 ine the platform in terms of a host (e.g. a CPU) and one or more compute d
 evices (e.g. a GPU) plus a C-based programming language for writing progra
 ms for the compute devices. Using OpenCL\, a programmer can write task-bas
 ed and data-parallel programs that use all the resources of the heterogene
 ous computer. In this tutorial\, we will introduce OpenCL.\nThis will be a
  “programmer’s introduction” where we cover the ideas behind OpenCL 
 but also show how these ideas are translated into source code. We will do 
 this through a series of progressively more challenging examples\, thereby
  providing a set of pedagogically useful examples that experienced HPC pro
 grammers can use to quickly become productive OpenCL programmers.\nIn the 
 afternoon there will be an hands-on tutorial. Please\, bring your own lapt
 op. We will provide access to some machines with Intel OpenCL Linux instal
 led\, but it would be best if you had OpenCL installed on your own laptop.
  We will drive the tutorial around the Windows release from Intel\, but we
  invite to use Linux version. You can download the beta release of OpenCL 
 (Linux and Windows) from Intel at:\n        http://software.intel.c
 om/en-us/articles/opencl-sdk/\nFor Apple laptops\, OpenCL is included with
  Xcode for Mac OS X (Snow Leopard release and beyond). You can also use th
 e AMD release of OpenCL for x86 processors which can be downloaded at:\n
