Moreinformation about OpenCL may be found at theKhronos OpenCL website.The following implementations of OpenCL are currently available:The AMD OpenCL driver:AMD OpenCL websiteThe NVIDIA drivers:NVIDIA OpenCL websiteOpenCL for OSX:Apple OpenCL websiteIntel OpenCL SDK:Intel OpenCL SDK website. (see theInstallation Notesfor using this implementation together with JOCL)General information about Java bindings for OpenCLThere are several libraries providing Java bindings for OpenCL. Here isan overview of some of these libraries:The JOCL that is available hereThis library offers Java-Bindings for OpenCL that are very similar tothe original OpenCL API. The functions are provided as static methods,and semantics and signatures of these methods have been kept consistentwith the original library functions, except for the language-specificlimitations of Java. The OpenCL API may be very verbose at some points,and this is not hidden or simplified, but simply offered by JOCL as-it-is.The JOCL from JogAmp.orgThe goal of this library is to provide an object-oriented abstractionof OpenCL for Java. This simplifies the usage and may be found more natural andconvenient for most Java Programmers. The library also offers a low-levelinterface, which is generated using the GlueGen library. This interfaceis similar to the OpenCL API, but not really intended to be used by clients,and mainly serves as the basis for the object-oriented wrapper.JavaCLThis library also offers an object-oriented abstraction of OpenCL for Java.It has a low-level interface which is based on JNA and generated usingthe JNAerator library. The low-level interface serves as the basis forthe object-oriented wrapper but is not intended to be used by clients.Note that JavaCL is part of theNativeLibs4Java project, which also containsScalaCL,a library for accessing OpenCL with Scala.OpenCL support in LWJGLThe Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL) has been extendedto also support OpenCL. The original OpenCL API is mapped toa similar Java API, and extended with convenience methods.As an alternative for Java developers who want to benefit from the computingpower of their GPU without having to learn OpenCL, there is a library calledAparapi:It allows a seamless integration of GPU workloads into Java Code. The Java bytecodewill be converted into OpenCL code and executed on the GPU, transparently for the user.Even if there is no OpenCL implementation, the same code will still run on theCPU in a Java Thread Pool, taking advantage of multiple CPU cores.Source code repositoryThe source code of JOCL is available at GitHub:https://github.com/gpu/JOCLMaven dependencyJOCL is available in Maven Central, under the following coordinates:<dependenc
