Intel® OpenCL* SDK is an Alpha software release. It is an implementation of the OpenCL* 1.1 standard optimized for Intel® CoreTM processors, running on Microsoft* Windows* 7 and Windows Vista* operating systems.
This Alpha software brings OpenCL* for the CPU in support of OpenCL developers desiring CPU advantages found on many OpenCL* workloads. OpenCL* language and Application Programming Interface (API) enables you to seamlessly take advantage of the Intel® CoreTM processor benefits such as Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions (Intel® SSE) utilization and Multi-Core scalability.
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.
OpenCL* is an emerging standard from the Khronos Group industry consortium. As a Khronos founder and promoter, Intel has made significant contributions to OpenCL* feature set. With the Alpha release of Intel® OpenCL SDK, Intel continues to demonstrate its commitment to parallel computing tools and standards support.
On the web site WhatIf.intel.com, Intel provides Alpha software free of charge, but without any warranty that it works as expected or will be supported as is in the future. Since it is only a technology preview, the product may be incomplete and not tested sufficiently for productive usage. Nevertheless, this release gives you the opportunity to experiment with new capabilities long before they become available as a commercial product.
