During SC14 (SuperComputing Conference 2014), OpenCL is again all over New Orleans. Just like last year, I’ve composed an overview based on info from the Khronos website and the SC2014 website.
Finally I’m attending SC14 myself, and will give two talks for you. Tuesday I’ll be part of a 90 minute session of Khronos, where I’ll talk a bit about GROMACS and selecting the right accelerator for your software. Wednesday I’ll be sharing our experiences from our port of GROMACS to OpenCL. If you meet me, then I can hand you over a leaflet with the decision chart to help select the best device for the job.
