topic Hi Brad, in Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives

IPP OpenCL and Asynchronous C++ drivers

Hello,

I have Intel Composer XE 2015 which contains IPP 8.2. I am unable to locate any of the OpenCL or asynchronous C++ code. Is this code included with IPP 8.2. If not, where can I get it?

In general, how does intel recommend using IPP with GPU support if it exists. Moving forward would it be better to use OpenCL?

Regards,

Brad Kimbrough

Hello Brad,

These codes are not the part of product version of IPP and have been pulled from the Intel website.

Hello Gennady,

Thank you for your reply.

I can see that Intel continues to improve its on chip graphics capabilities and I would like to utilize the on chip GPU when possible for General Purpose computing.

Can someone comment on what is the recommended approach for utilizing the hardware. Should I use OpenCL, or the intel C++ compiler calls?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Regards,

Hi Brad,
yes, both the OpenCL, and Intel C++ compiles support the graphics programing now. You can visit the form to get a few more details on the products:
