Someone give me a rundown of OpenCL? In like 3 lines?

[Pyroven]

I have an AMD Build, and from the very little I know, it utilises your GPU and CPU for things like rendering to make it run considerably faster.

 

Someone who knows about it please tell me what exactly I need to do to set it up and how to use it? I am pretty newbie to anything of this type so no big words

It is a framework for developing applications that use FPGAs, GPUS, CPUs, and signal processors.

Open cl is your CPU taking your Gpu horsepower to help it render faster

No it isnt. What you wrote makes no sense at all.

It is a framework for developing massively parallel applications.

then what is it (in simple terms)

It is a framework/API for developing applications that use FPGAs, GPUS, CPUs, and signal processors.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

I was going to but of course you had to go and say ti first : (

Although that sort of helps, it doesn't really.

 

What I gather from this is that it does nothing to help with rendering?

TL;DR Its something like DirectX or OpenGL,that good for you?

Why are you doing this?there is no 3 line description for OpenCL.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL

Read at least until the overview part and that would have taken less than posting and asking right?Im not telling you shouldnt ask here,im telling you,you could read it faster and better in 2 clicks.

What do you mean by "rendering"? It is a word that pretty much everyone uses incorrectly.

I render videos, youtube videos using Sony Vegas. I though OpenCL was a program of some sort that allows things like Sony vegas utilise GPU power when rendering.

No, it is a API that has components to allow for programs to be written that 'use' GPUs. You could write a program using OpenCL that does any workload that would be suited to a GPU (or FPGAs, and CPUs too).
