Eighteen months after the posting of version 1.0 , the Krhonos Group released Monday OpenCL specification 1.1, the first major update of this tool dedicated to the operation of the computing power of graphics cards for general calculations.
OpenCL 1.1 introduces a series of improvements designed to give more flexibility to the programs and improve the compatibility with the OpenGL pipeline. Also on the program, but not limited to: a new adapter C + +, better load distribution among different computing clusters available in the map, a new system caching, and integration into standard some features that were proposed as an option in 1.0.
The great strength of this new version, said Khronos Group, has in particular because of its perfect backward compatibility, so a program written with OpenCL 1.0 operate smoothly once updated. Until manufacturers provide graphics and fitness OpenCL 1.1 by means of new drivers, we can see the rich technical documentation posted online by the leaders of this open source project here (PDF, 3.34 MB).
