C Framework for OpenCL

The C Framework for OpenCL, cf4ocl, is a cross-platform pure C object-oriented framework for developing and benchmarking OpenCL projects. It aims to:

  • Promote the rapid development of OpenCL host programs in C (with support for C++) and avoid the tedious and error-prone boilerplate code usually required.
  • Assist in the benchmarking of OpenCL events, such as kernel execution and data transfers. Profiling comes for free with cf4ocl.
  • Simplify the analysis of the OpenCL environment and of kernel requirements.
  • Allow for all levels of integration with existing OpenCL code: use as much or as few of cf4ocl required for your project, with full access to the underlying OpenCL objects and functions at all times.

Features:

  • Object-oriented interface to the OpenCL API
 * New/destroy functions, no direct memory alloc/free
 * Easy (and extensible) device selection
 * Simple event dependency mechanism
 * User-friendly error management
  • OpenCL version and platform independent
  • Integrated profiling
  • Advanced device query utility
  • Offline kernel compiler and linker
