Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications

Intel is a strong supporter of OpenCL™ software technology. The Intel SDK for OpenCL Applications is a comprehensive development environment for developing and optimizing OpenCL applications on Intel® platforms, and part of an increasingly rich portfolio of Intel tools for heterogeneous programming. The SDK supports offloading compute-intensive parallel workloads to Intel® Graphics Technology using an advanced OpenCL kernel compiler, runtime debugger, and code performance analyzer. The SDK and driver and run-time packages are installed separately.

Build for Competitive Advantage and Easier Heterogeneous Approach

Get the freedom to develop your own proprietary algorithms directly on multiple types of Intel®-based devices.

• Low-level development using the framework from the OpenCL application provides the freedom to develop competitive IP-based applications.
• Common front end for coding Intel-based devices: CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.
• Fast emulation platform for FPGAs provides an opportunity to optimize and innovate faster. For more information, see: Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ software technology.

Innovate new features for competitive advantage together with other complimentary software tools (Intel® System Studio, Intel® Media SDK, and OpenVINO™ toolkit) and libraries.

Increase Productivity and Efficiency

• Perform custom development across multiple hardware types. While not performance portable, it reduces development learning time for new hardware to days, as compared to months for hardware-specific stacks.
• Use the OpenCL application to extend pipelines written using Intel Media SDK and OpenVINO toolkit with your custom algorithms.
• Optimize system performance and power with analyzers in Intel System Studio, such as Intel® VTune™ Amplifier.
