About OpenCL Runtime for Intel Core and Xeon Processors

The OpenCL Runtime for Intel Core and Xeon Processors provides the necessary libraries and drivers to execute OpenCL applications on Intel CPUs. It enables developers and users to leverage the parallel processing capabilities of Intel Core and Intel Xeon processors for general-purpose computing tasks using the OpenCL framework. This runtime is crucial for applications that offload computations to the CPU, allowing them to benefit from Intel's processor architecture.

This specific runtime focuses on providing CPU device support for Intel Core processor families with Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.2 (Intel SSE4.2) or higher, and Intel Xeon E3, E5, and E7 families. It allows for the execution of OpenCL code on these Intel CPU architectures, facilitating high-performance computing and parallel programming. While Intel also offers runtimes for its graphics technology, this product specifically targets CPU-based OpenCL execution.

Intel actively supports OpenCL on its platforms, providing tools and runtimes for both application development and end-user execution. The runtime may also include experimental support for SYCL, further expanding its capabilities for heterogeneous computing.
