Using OpenCL
Open Computing Language (OpenCL) (https://www.khronos.org/opencl/) supports programs that execute across heterogeneous platforms, that is, platforms potentially using different vendors and architectures. The platforms can use different processing units, including Central Processing Unit (CPU), Graphical Processing Unit (GPU), Digital Signal Processor (DSP), Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and other types of processors.
OpenCL uses a C99-based language to program the devices, providing a standard interface for programming concurrent behavior. OpenCL supports an API that allows code to be written in different languages. For Java, there are several APIs that support the development of OpenCL based languages:
- Java bindings for OpenCL (JOCL) (http://www.jocl.org/) - This is a binding to the original OpenCL C implementation and can be verbose.
- JavaCl (https://code.google.com/archive/p/javacl/) - Provides an object-oriented interface to JOCL.
