- angry_octet 8y agoI don't know if I'd call that programmable, isn't it just sequencing work to predefined logic blocks? Can you do things that were not contemplated by the opencl design?
- blackflame7000 8y agoOpenCL provides a standardization for interacting with accelerators. It is up to the manufacturers of FPGAs to adopt the OpenCL standard. For a while, Nvidia didn't get on board because they already had CUDA and felt OpenCL was letting ATI back in the game. Xilinx makes good learner FPGAs that are compatible with the OpenCL standard.
