OpenCL SPIR Tutorial Teaches Portability Without Shipping Kernel Source

March 1, 2015 by Rob Farber Leave a Comment

Intel has released an OpenCL tutorial showing how developers can use SPIR (Standard Portable Intermediate Representation) to preserve vendor and device portability without having to ship OpenCL kernel source code. For more information about how SPIR enables commercial OpenCl applications, see our article, “Commercial OpenCL! SPIR 2.0 Protects IP Yet Allows Powerful, Portable, Source Code Free Kernels”
