The release of the PoCL 1.3 (Portable Computing Language OpenCL) project is available, which develops an implementation of the OpenCL standard that is independent of graphics accelerator manufacturers and allows you to use different backends to run OpenCL cores on different types of graphics and central processors. The project code is distributed under the MIT license. Work is supported on platforms X86_64, MIPS32, ARM v7, AMD HSA APU and various specialized TTA processors (Transport Triggered Architecture) with VLIW architecture.
The OpenCL core compiler implementation is based on LLVM, and Clang is used as a front-end for OpenCL C. To ensure proper portability and performance, the OpenCL kernel compiler can generate combined functions that can use various hardware resources to parallelize code execution, such as VLIW, superscalar, SIMD, SIMT, multicore, and multithreading. Support for ICD drivers
(Installable Client Driver). There are backends to support work through the CPU, ASIP (TCE / TTA), GPU based on the HSA architecture and GPU NVIDIA (CUDA).
The new version adds support for LLVM/Clang 8.0. Support for ICD (Installable Client Driver) is provided on the platform. macOSThe ability to build pocl without backend CPU drivers has been implemented. Initial support for ISA compilation over the HSA runtime has been introduced for HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture). The codebase has been cleaned up, including removing the Vecmathlib library and dropping support for older versions of LLVM (before 6.0).
