OPENCL RESEARCH

Overview

OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is an open royalty-free industry standard for programming a heterogeneous collection of CPUs, GPUs and other discrete computing devices organized into a single platform. It is more than a language. OpenCL is a framework for parallel programming and includes a language, API, libraries and a runtime system to support software development. Using OpenCL, for example, a programmer can write general purpose programs that execute on GPUs without the need to map their algorithms onto a 3D graphics API such as OpenGL or DirectX. The target of OpenCL is expert programmers wanting to write portable yet efficient code. This includes library writers, middleware vendors, and performance oriented application programmers. Therefore OpenCL provides a low-level hardware abstraction plus a framework to support programming and many details of the underlying hardware are exposed.

OpenCL is designed to support devices with different capabilities under a single platform. This includes devices which conform to different versions of the OpenCL specification. There are three important version identifiers to consider for an OpenCL system: the platform version, the version of a device, and the version(s) of the OpenCL C language supported on a device. ^[1]

OPENCL RESEARCH FOCUS

OPENCL Development portion of the Internet is still developing sites with a fixed and/or static approach to presentation. With the success of several social networking sites, performance and design scalability are no longer resigned to enterprise level class applications. Social networks and blogs demand a dynamic publishing solution for interactive content. Web development now requires sites to address publicly approved, fixed content and a need for interactive content creation. Whether one decides to purchase a complete packaged solution or have one designed around their needs and scale to meet future needs depends on the client.

ReAnimality Inc., builds static and dynamic sites leveraging open standards to meet our clients needs. Sites are developing by applying the Model-View-Controller (MVC) and Separation-of-Concerns (SoC) models, pioneered by NeXT Software Inc, now Apple Inc., and The Apache Software Group's Cocoon Project, respectively. These approaches allow for rapid prototyping to reduce your time-to-market and work to make sure each stage of development maximizes your return on investment.

In the near future, ReAnimality Inc., will be developing OS X Cocoa Engineering Applications that target the Mechanical & Material Science Engineering industries and the Computer Graphics fields. The backgrounds of it's founders are in both of these fields, along-side the Computer Sciences.
