PoCL 7.0 is out today as the newest version of this 'Portable Computing Language' implementation that originally was started for supporting CPU-based OpenCL execution but with time and in leveraging LLVM back-ends has added support for OpenCL atop AMDKFD / NVIDIA PTX / Intel Level Zero and other possible back-ends.

PoCL 7.0 is out today as the newest version of this "Portable Computing Language" implementation that originally was started for supporting CPU-based OpenCL execution but with time and in leveraging LLVM back-ends has added support for OpenCL atop AMDKFD / NVIDIA PTX / Intel Level Zero and other possible back-ends. Those with a modern Intel or AMD x86_64 processor can enjoy official OpenCL 3.0 compliance on CPUs. For CPUs with AVX2 and AVX-512 is much greater performance potential for CPU-based OpenCL usage.
