4 Copyright Khronos Group, Page 4 OpenCL Working Group Diverse industry participation many industry experts - Processor vendors, system OEMs, middleware vendors, application developers Apple made initial proposal and is very active in the working group - Serving as specification editor

5 Copyright Khronos Group, Page 5 OpenCL Timeline Six months from proposal to released OpenCL 1.0 specification - Due to a strong initial proposal and a shared commercial incentive Multiple conformant implementations shipping - For CPUs and GPUs on multiple OS 18 month cadence between OpenCL 1.0 and OpenCL Backwards compatibility protect software investment Jun08 Khronos publicly releases OpenCL 1.0 as royalty-free specification Dec08 Apple proposes OpenCL working group and contributes draft specification to Khronos May09 Khronos releases OpenCL 1.0 conformance tests to ensure high-quality implementations Multiple conformant implementations ship across diverse OS and platforms 2H09 Jun10 OpenCL 1.1 Specification released and first implementations ship

9 Copyright Khronos Group, Page 9 OpenGL Interoperability Both standards under one IP framework - Enables very close collaborative design for efficient, inter-api communication OpenCL can efficiently share resources with OpenGL - Textures, Buffer Objects and Renderbuffers - OpenCL objects are created from OpenGL objects - data is shared, not copied Applications can select compute device(s) to run OpenGL and OpenCL - Efficient queuing of OpenCL and OpenGL commands into the hardware - Flexible scheduling and synchronization Link CL events and GL sync objects for faster & finer-grained interop - cl_khr_gl_event and GL_ARB_cl_event - Avoids heavyweight operations glfinish before clenqueueacquireglobjects and clfinish after clenqueuereleaseglobjects

10 Copyright Khronos Group, Page 10 Visual Computing Ecosystem Desktop Visual Computing OpenGL and OpenCL have direct interoperability. OpenCL objects can be created from OpenGL Textures, Buffer Objects and Renderbuffers Mobile Visual Computing Compute, graphics and AV APIs interoperate through EGL
