OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is the first open, royalty-free standard for general-purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous systems.
OpenCL provides a uniform programming environment for software developers to write efficient, portable code for client computer systems, high-performance computing servers, and handheld devices using a diverse mix of multi-core CPUs and other parallel processors.
Intel OpenCL SDK is the latest Intel’s implementation of the OpenCL standard optimized for Intel processors, running on Microsoft* Windows*, and Linux* operating systems. This SDK implementation is fully conformant with OpenCL 1.1 specification for the CPU, and with Microsoft* Windows* 7 operating systems. Linux* support is currently in preview state.
